"Old Man's" Shoes?

[golferdrmjr]

For those of you that think you can't wear Shield Tips (they're not wingtips) or Saddles with shorts, it's really not hard to do. And I have 16 pairs of Icons that I wear and walk full rounds in most of the time and I love them! All these photos are with shorts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The only shoes that I think of as being "Old Man's Shoes" are any shoes with Velcro straps instead of laces. :-)

 

wait is this for real??? someone takes pics of the gear they are wearing to the course??

These photos were used to prove a point, that you don't have to wear "athletic" or "sporty" shoes with shorts. It started with people that said you could not wear saddles or shield tips (some call them wing tips) and look good with shorts. I disagree, and wanted to show how easy it was to do.

 

This is the Golf Style and Accessories forum, if you don't like style posts, you might want to visit a different forum on this site. :-)

I find this while thread humorous. Guys that wear the new flashy neon colored shoes making fun of someone else's style. :)

[deadsolid...shank]

I love the bright flashy colors..

 

And I'm a completely boring, dud of a person. I just like the colors.

 

Just like many wouldn't wear what I like, I don't care for the windtip shoes. But I wouldn't come on a say someone has bad taste because they wear them. I'd say those are pretty well put together looks. Just not my style. Doesn't make them bad!

 

Some people must be a real treat to be around.

[EmperorPenguin]

Dude, I can never wear those green Mork & Mindy shoes. Fitting for Kermit, but the never for an emperor.

[Mudguard]

I don't know about an old man's shoe. It's an old man's game. So dress appropriately! I've always heard about never dressing better than you can play, but I think I've made an effort to dress properly so it's the least my game can do by turning up...

Plenty of clubs had rules around dress codes.

Black shoes. Only with trousers.

Shorts, go nuts.

Light coloured pants, more flexiblity.

Dark coloured pants, dark shoes. I'm not sure where this resurgence of white shoes and dark pants has come from. Having said that, if you find my ball in the long rough then I'll forgive your shoe choice. And if you help me beat the other pair for the beer then you can dress shrouded in orange.

Oh, and tuck your shirt in...

I hear you. I love em, but they're not for everyone. Isn't it funny though, I'll wear those, but I wouldn't ever wear a pair of the wingtip.

 

Speaking of Mork & Mindy, I'm a big Pam Dawber fan!

[Shilgy]

Dude, I can never wear those green Mork & Mindy shoes. Fitting for Kermit, but the never for an emperor.

sSure-you're a Penguin. All black and white to you. :)

It ain't easy being green!

[BIG STU]

Funny.

 

I am, by any reasonable and traditional measure of the term, size extra large. You can put me next to people that you'd say are "large" and I'm a bit larger. Extra large, in fact.

 

For several years now it has been necessary for me to buy size "L/G" in Foot-Joy and most other golf brand shirts. Not the "XL/TG" that I bought for 20 years before that. Just the way things go.

 

But now I find the FJ shirts marked "L/G" are baggy as all get out. Way too much loose material flopping around, especially if it gets a bit sweaty. Solution? I now have to seek out the size-large FJ shirts in "Athletic Fit". That's precious, right there. Nobody has ever mistaken me for an athlete or ever will with my Phil Mickelson boobs and my pussle-gut. .

 

It must be difficult trying to cater to the egos of golfers if you're in that business...

Heck I am a big guy too but about 50 pounds lighter than my Avaitar pic. Most of my shirts are 4x long. Most of my "gut" now is from an unbilical hernia which I am going to have fixed soon. Most courses do not have stuff to fit me. I do go to a couple of the outlet stores here that have big stuff and also sometimes I hit Goodwill hard if they have stuff come in that fits me. I also order stuff from Big and Tall. I do not have the Mickleson/Montgomerie boobs though

[linkerpan]

Went to Orlando for work and no intent to play but my event ended a day earlier. So I went to one of the cheapo tourist golf stores and bought the same shoes for $20 plus a $7 polo at Ross. They came with 160yd drives included. Played 18 at the Waldorf with them and when I went to rent the clubs proshop guy had to be convinced that I was a good enough player to let me join threesome from London. After the round in a really nice clubhouse they have I took a shower and left polo and shoes in the garbage can.

...with plenty of kids who would have truly appreciated either or both...

[Bonneville85308]

^ I don't think any kid would have truly appreciated those ugly used shoes unless they were homeless and had no shoes at all.

But, what do I know. I am 70 years old and have been playing for 45 years.

I concur. Check out a pair of this year's Adidas golf shoes. Did Adi Dassler play golf? I highly doubt it. These shoes are way too radical for me, with the three stripes wrapping around through the bottom of the shoe, stapled in place. Adidas makes some of the ugliest shoes around, but inherently they are at a severe disadvantage to begin with: there is almost no way to make their three-stripes trademark look good on a pair of golf shoes. Tennis shoes are OK, but golf shoes? They just look tacky. Why don't they just bring back their old leaf logo and just print them unpretentiously on a corner of a saddle? Anyhow, here are the pictures of the disgusting shoes.

[EmperorPenguin]

This, I consider, a superb example of classic golf shoes. They are FootJoy Classics, after all. Simple saddles, yet beautifully elegant and classy. How can anyone knock these as "old man's" shoes?

ok EP, I just gotta step in and alter your narrative on this "old man" shoe concept because it has been mildly flawed. and I'll focus on these above ^^^ pair of FJ Classics as the example. by a whisker I am old enough to remember watching/playing the last moments of the wooden club/wound ball era. a FJ Classic was NOT an "old man shoe" even then. these were damn expensive shoes wore only by the wealthy (and the wealthy can be the cheapest s.o.b.'s so even a lot of them didn't wear them) and the best local players you would ever come across (and fwiw EVERY dude playing on any professional tour at the time).

 

never belonging to a country club my point of reference is the the real working/hustling golf professionals. I grew up watching/playing these guys and they ALWAYS were wearing FJ Classics. this is the kind of guy who continuously had a great tan, never had a real job in his life, and always had a woman waiting for him at the bar when we finished. I forgive the millennial thinking a Classic is inherently an "old man shoe" because they don't know any better, they weren't there. but you fail to mention the typical 18+ handicap "old man" of that time actually wore the era equivalent of that cheap p.o.s. I posted in #17, they all did (and believe me younger viewers here, FJ and others made them then, and they were hideous). they did NOT wear FJ Classics at $200 dollars a pair. this drastically changes the argument that this above ^^^ is or ever were an "old man shoe". to the younger player, if their style ain't "the style" anymore I completely get it, but please don't put an incorrect stigma on them of any kind because clearly you just don't remember the 20th century ;) .

We might be the same age, and we might have taken up golf at the same time. For the record I will state that I started playing golf in 1990 at age 20, and at that time metal woods were phasing out persimmons, and graphite shafts were the vogue at the time, driving up the cost of a driver to about $180. Going purely by best recollection, for shoes there were basically only three style options during the early '90's: saddles, wingtips and tennis-shoe style. Indeed FJ Classics had a high price point, but they offered cheaper options, with GreenJoys as their cheapest. I know firsthand because I bought a pair of them. Even though GreenJoys cost about $50 a pair, they still were available in a saddle or wingtip design.

 

The third option was a tennis-shoe style. I actually owned a pair of Etonic ST's (pictured below) which I admit were pretty damn comfortable despite how hideous they looked. They were lightweight, soft and had a wedge sole. I remember some of them looking like tennis shoes, and others with kilties on them. When John Daly came to scene, he was wearing the Reebok Pump golf shoes--remember them? Even that shoe had a basic Oxford shoe design. Soon after in the mid-90's there was a Nike Air golf shoes craze, that the shoes were the most comfortable shoes ever made. They looked like cross-trainers.

 

The true old-man shoe, in my opinion, is anything with a kiltie. You don't see those shoes anymore, mainly because the golfers who sported them are now either dead, dying or too old to play golf. Maybe back then everyone wore kilties, but under the kilties the uppers were either saddles or wingtips. Style has evolved into God-forsaken abominations, as golfers are now possessed to look away from classic designs and into new space-age designs like Adizero, and others I do not care to identify. Basically, what I see in today's shoes are rubber soles (thanks a lot, Fred!), minimal soles, bicycle toes and other disgusting designs. The epidemic has grown to the point of FootJoy ceasing production of their venerable Classics with their last runs ending in 2014. Saddles and wingtips are a breath of fresh air, but kids wearing flat-billed caps, orange outfits, white belts and rocket shoes have the nerve to call them shoes suitable for the elderly. Perhaps I am one of those dinosaurs, but dammit I cannot find anything better-looking that a nice pair of Classics. Quite simply, to me saddles and wingtips look best on the course--unless you are wearing an orange flat-bill cap.

The epidemic has grown

 

I'm not quite sure where you stand. Could you maybe get a little more worked-up over this and let us know your true feelings?

 

OK granted it's now hard to find those heavy, uncomfortable, high-maintenance, uber-expensive sewn together leather soled shoes like "everyone" wore for golf a half-century ago. If that's what you want, it must be frustrating. Kind of like if you think the height of automotive style and function was an E-type Jag. They LITERALLY don't make them like that any more. For good reasons.

 

Here's an actual golf analogy. The true, original FootJoy Classic style shoe was the functional equivalent of the Titleist Tour Balata. It was the highest expression of quality and performance on the market at a time when technology developed in the 1930's was considered untouchable and worthy of aspiration. Everybody wanted to be one of those "Players" who needed a Balata ball and could afford to toss away the lumpy ones and toss even the good ones every couple holes. And everybody wanted to be stylin' those fancy leather shoes...and to have a "shoe boy" at their country club who would clean and polish them between rounds.

 

Both the FJ Classic and the Balata ball left the market so fast it made some people's head spin. All it took was better-functioning, cheaper, lower maintenance technology to reach the market and for a critical mass of golfers to try it and find out, "Wow, these shoes are SO MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE and you can just toss them in the trunk until next week without needing to polish them!". And then golf courses the world over discovered the joys of not replacing floorboards and carpet every few years along with greens that were not riddled with spike marks by noon very Saturday. And the three-piece golf balls? Get outta here. Better performance than the Balata, they'll last 2-3 ROUNDS instead of 2-3 holes and when you buy a box of 12 every single one of them is exactly the same and perfectly round.

 

There was no conspiracy to replace the old tech just to annoy old guys (and guys who aren't remotely old but choose to affect old-guy tastes and mannerisms). Golf just had a highly unnatural period of stasis in the 50's, 60's, 70's and 80's where the normal technological and consumer products development was delayed by the habits of influential opinion leaders (i.e. Tour players and the marketing dollars behind them). Then in the mid-90's to early 00's a half-century of progress appeared in the blink of an eye and gave "traditionalists" a bit of whiplash.

[Double Mocha Man]

Essentially, it's the "dumbing down" of a more classical, dressier look. It's not just the shoes. It's the parachute pants, no belt, shirt out of pants. Not that I agree (and nobody asked me) but it's where fashion is going. Maybe the classy look will come full circle and come back into fashion... like my double-breasted suit.

When I was a kid I loved Adidas shoes, and "die Weltmarke mit den 3 Streifen" was a great hallmark. However, I somehow get a nauseous feeling when I see the three stripes on their golf shoes. The ones you posted look somewhat acceptable, because you have white stripes on a white upper. Contrasting stripes, on the other hand, simply don't look good on shoes. White stripes on black uppers or black stripes on white uppers? Yuck. They look like you have zebras on your feet.

 

These, in my opinion, are the slickest golf shoes ever made. No pair of Adidas golf shoes ever in the history of the company can beat these shoes.

There are no contrasting stripes on those original white/white Adipures, that's why they are classics, IMO. A perfect blend of style that holds up over time, and simple, classic design in a comfortable athletic chassis.

 

Yours are nice, of course. I have 2 pair of FJ Classics Dry Premier, 2 pair of Icons, and a pair of Icon Blacks so i can definitely appreciate them.

Those alligators died of old age after a long and happy life. And they were glad to leave their hides to such a great cause to live on a little longer as a fantastic pair of shoes! I heard they also liked single malt scotch. :-)

Adidas always best for shoe. I personally like Adidas golf shoes

[Mkoz14]

I am a younger guy (30) and just picked up a pair of footjoy icon traditional .. i have played in basiclly every brand of shoe ( adidas, nike, UA,, Fj and Puma).. i have had the most complements from the guys i usually play with ( 25-45) since i switched to more traditional old man shoes ( all icons and dryjoy tours). I think the more classic "old man shoes" style is making a strong come back!

[justwellsy]

I personally think the Ecco Tour Hybrid Wing Tip is one of the best shoes on the market. Some may argue they are old man shoes, but they'd be waaaaaaay off :)
