Tough to find size 14 and most are too narrow in the toe box.

I golf in them occasionally. They are pretty good. Nice traction and comfortable. Mine are all canvass or canvass/leather mix. Not really waterproof or I would wear them more often.

Loving the new air max for summer. They look just like the originals.

Any idea what the heel to toe drop is?

STAY AWAY FROM TOMO GOLF. BUYER BEWARE. PROBABLY WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN GOLF. Even the big corporations do a better job.

I picked up a pair during their Black Friday sale. Understood there was no return on sale, but no mention of exchange. Shoes don't fit (btw their sizing information is totally off) so I asked for an exchange. Response: "You can always give them as a gift or donate them so it doesn't go to waste". I was pretty appalled. For a straight-to-consumer startup brand, customer experience is key to driving word of mouth referrals and viral marketing. Allbird are great at this. I had issues with two different shoes and they accepted them, even after they had been worn. I would stay clear of TOMO just for the customer service hassle alone. Add to that the accurate feedback on how flimsy these shoes are and the heel slip issue because of a super shallow heel cup, and these are just walking shoes with inconvenient tread.

I really wanted to like these shoes and this company because based on the website they really did look like Allbirds for golf. Better to just wear some Allbirds and play on a dry day. Stick with Adidas, GFORE, ECCO, anything else would beat these shoes.

I imagine there are lots of running/tennis shoes (whatever you'd like to call them) that are comfortable to golf in and stylish, thus the sole swap market. Personally I've found that the Peter Millar HyperLight Glides are quite comfortable. I've never been one to worry too much over grip with spikes so I've also worn SWIMS. Typically I wear both of these for range sessions and have on occasion during a round, depends on how serious I am.

In my experience, trail running shoes from any reputable maker that you can find on sale someplace like Academy or REI work as well as dedicated golf shoes, for less money. I bought a couple of pairs of Icebug shoes at half price when REI discontinued them. One pair is waterproof.
