Who has gone spikeless and not looked backed


Recommended Posts

I have not found one pair of spikeless that have a firm enough sole.  I wear and use spikless shoes, but not to play in.  I deal with a bit of plantar fasciitis in my right foot and spikless and golf leads to problems.

Now that in recent years Ecco has got Gortex, going back to them. Most comfortable shoes I have ever worn!

I have been exclusively spikeless for about 10yrs, all Ecco biom. I would never consider going back. I used to suffer PF in both feet and haven't had a recurrence since moving away from stiff soled, high heel drop shoes. I am a believer that low drop flexible shoes strengthen the foot muscles and reduce or eliminate PF.

I don't know, I bought my first spikeless over Christmas (Nike) and my foot has slipped 2-3 times each round already on my driver swings, like I'm standing on ice.  I'm hoping it's just that it's not gripping on the dormant Bermuda grass and has better gripping action when the grass starts coming in thick, otherwise I'll go with plastic spikes.

I've gone spikeless (aside from my all white FJ Icon Black's).  I have Ecco, FJ, True, Adidas...etc.  No issues ever with slippage and I like that after the round I don't have worry about running to the locker room to change my shoes if hanging on the patio or anything.  I'd say Ecco are my favorites right now.

I went spikeless with a pair of Nike's a few years ago but switched back to spikes.  I just found spikeless didn't have enough grip for me and couldn't grab the ground as well as I'd like.  I switched over to a pair of Adidas with spikes, and just got a new pair of Adidas shoes this past Xmas and have zero complaints.  Adidas has been some of the most comfortable golf shoes I've worn.

I got a pair of FJ spikeless as a tee gift in a scramble tourney... decided to wear them for that round and fell on my arse the first hole on the tee box. Changed them out right then and there and haven't gone back.

I want the LCV2s because they seem like a good middle ground between spikeless/spiked but i feel like ill need to make a real effort to always avoid the cart paths, parking, clubhouse and that seems like a real PITA haha

I love the Nike Lunar Control Vapor 2. A spikeless shoe with better traction than any spiked show I have ever used.

I suspect the long term durability might not be as good as others, and I'm a little bummed they seem to not be making that sole in any shoe right now... still an amazing shoe.

Spikeless are ok... When it's wet, spikeless can be a little slippery. In Florida, that's pretty much all the time. I like my spikes.

ive been spikeless for 3 years now...all Nike.  I don't swing out of of my shoes to warrant the price tag of full spikes...UNTIL, i walked down some wet stairs leading to the tee box .  The Air Zoom 90s almost put me on my arse.  Lesson learned...avoid wet paved areas.  I'm gonna start looking to decent spiked shoes now, just for the early morning rounds

I went with some Adidas for my first pair of spikeless shoes. Can't remember the exact model, but they do have molded "soft-spike" style cleats - they just can't be replaced. I have never had any traction issues with these shoes.
Honestly, my reservations concerning spikeless shoes was more about durability and longevity. With spiked shoes, you could theoretically hold on to one pair forever and maintain performance. I worried that the spikeless would have a much shorter life.
So far, and after two seasons of use, the Adidas spikeless have worn well and maintained their performance.

Spikeless here with no problems. I play here in Seattle, where we deal with wet conditions nearly all year, and have yet to encounter any major issues. Has my heel slipped? Perhaps a few times, but not enough to make me switch. But, I suppose it may depend on your swing type, as to whether you need more traction than spikeless can provide.

I've been spikeless for the past 4 years or so. I have very narrow feet and found spikeless to be slightly more accommodating in that respect. For '17 and '18 I wore the Footjoy Golf Athletics until they stretched out too much, and in December I bought a pair of Addidas adipower 4orged. Love them.

Signature!

They both have their place.

I have some cobras that have a sole like the old "turf cleats" that baseball and football ('merican football) players wore when playing on Astro-turf. They work and are comfortable but it better be dry.

 

I have some of the Skechers go golf's that have a harder spikeless sole. Somewhere between turf cleat nubs and molded baseball cleats. They have better traction but still will slip if it is really wet.

 

I keep a few pair of spiked cleats around too that I like the look of and for when I need more traction.

I have not found a pair of traditional spikeless shoes yet that feel "Stable" enough in wet conditions (or sand) that really make me want to switch. Issue is I have a odd foot and I'm SITLL searching for that unicorn pair. So far the closest has been Lunar Control Vapor (2). While not having spikes, but not really a traditional spikeless shoe, I find these combine the best of both worlds. Very stable and firm outsole with cushioned support so that they don't murder your feet. I find regular spiked shoes like Adidas 360's etc with the little pods will eventually create pressure points on my feet.

 

The one major downside of the outsole of LCV is they absolutely murder soft greens. I'm not a heavy guy really and I'll leave pretty substantial impressions on softer surfaces. I'll always tap my marks down around the hole but I do feel like I am not doing the green keeps any service wearing these in the spring.

I have been hunting for a pair of golf shoes that feel like comfortable sneakers. These look like they could very well fit the bill. Even the spikeless shoes I have tried have been very rigid feeling in the sole. How would you rate these in terms of comfort?

 

Looks like a Japan model?

When soft spikes first his the market I was working at a golf club, this was circa 1997..the proshop sold spikeless shoes similar to the ones you see today, and I got a pair immediately...I think they were Dexters????. No looking back at all, I hate changing "spikes" I hated the way my feet felt after wearing metal. I will never buy a pair of "spikes" again.
