I have the lux sports and like them but I wouldn't even consider wearing them in wet conditions, maybe in light rain if it were dry out to start.  The mesh/knit is going to get saturated immediately and whatever liner is keeping the water out wont be able to last long.  It's one thing if it's dry and starts raining and you are riding.... but if the ground is already soaked and you are walking, forget about it.  Wear leather.  Ecco/goretex is the best for me and I'm often playing early in the dew and walking...you'll find out quickly which shoes are actually waterproof in those conditions.

Then they shouldn't be selling waterproof shoes with a 2 year warranty. Can't be good for business to make waterproof shoes that aren't really waterproof as you're saying...and then turning around and sending another pair free to people who make a claim.

Meh.. its the same thing with other companies that sell shoes with waterproof warranties.  They are playing the odds they will get worn a few times a year, and/or they are riders which most are, and or fair weather golfers which most are.  Any avid walker can tell you that NO shoe will hold up for two years after repeated use in dew/wet conditions.  Must use proper care and rotate otherwise they will fail.  It's nothing against true as I've been a long time fan but I will not wear a mesh/knit in dew/saturated ground when walking.  That's not why I bought the Lux Sport.  I bought them for dry rounds and comfort.

This may be splitting hairs, but any boot style golf shoe that I've owned (Adidas mid, Footjoy, Nike) easily handles a couple hundred walking rounds in the wet. I have over 100 walking rounds on the S2G Adidas boot and it's nowhere near end of life. These are worn from November through May in the Seattle area and are constantly in standing water. Once the water subsides, I'll be wearing my OG1.2's and then the Knit2's once its summer.

Yes, I realize there are exceptions to what I said.....those shoes/boot style are it.  When I first started playing golf I never wore golf shoes and wore rubber over shoes over my skateboard style shoes in the a.m. dew🙃

Can anyone chime in on which models offer the most heel padding/comfort? Im pretty sure I have something called haglunds deformity where the bone on the back of my heel area sticks out further than normal and causes serious blisters. Shoes that have some sort of heel lock or heel pocket have always worked best for me. Thanks in advance

Have attached photos of both the Lux Hybrid and the FS-01.  Each of them has a neoprene heel cup that works really well in my opinion.  Have worn socks with each of these pairs of shoes that would be “eaten” by my other golf shoes.  I would say that the FS-01 has a little more of a padded feel to it, but the Lux Hybrids are my favorites for walking.

I have that or a similar issue. I've found the OG1.2's to be really comfy on my heels. No blister issues.

[tastywaves]

Thanks for the replies and the pics @DeacLaw05, very helpful to see a closeup of the heel cup area. Leaning towards trying out the lux hybrids at the moment 👍

Just a shout out to True's customer service. Had a pair of OG Sports I bought last fall that my feet were wet in after a wet tournament this past weekend. Sent them the info they requested, picked out a different pair as none left in my size. Should have a pair of OG 1.2 showing up soon. Going to buy another pair for dry summertime now. I have developed a shoe problem apparently

4 new drops for VIP, Lux Tour looks awesome, but pricey.

 

FS-01 is my current favorite, picked up the last pair of white in stock in my size, 10% discount helped.

Did you pick up any Lux Tours for $149 on their Happy Hour a while ago?

[cubuffs]

As a big True fan - still waiting for a sale on the Lux Hybrid.  

 

I will say, gave them call and they did provide a discount on the FS-01 so got 2 pairs.  Still wearing the black pair into the to office - such great shoes!

Those were Lux Pros, the previous model, weren't they?

Tour was just put up today for VIP, have not tried the Pro, wear Lux sport when wet

[ALTSean]

Can anyone post photos of the Lux Hybrid in high vis grey?

 

I thought I wanted to get a pair in high vis white, but they are sold out of my size and I’ve heard folks say the white gets dirty quick.  

[this_is_golf]

The new All Day Ripstops looks so nice. Ugh I want them. 

[Mrgreen36]

Just got my warranty replacements. The OG 1.2 nine iron grey looks great in person, little tighter in the toe area compared to the knits or the sports. Should put 13 miles on them this weekend. 

[Mrgreen36]

Took all of about 3 holes until the og 1.2 felt great.  Might be my favorite true so far. 

 

 

[Warrick]

Anyone tried the new Lux Tour?

[fjk]

Curious about the new ripstops. The v1 were kinda ugly but the new ones look great. But not sure about wool liner in socal.

 

I actually wear my all day knit 2's ... all day lol. They're a little too flexible for my golf swing so I just wear them around daily. The rip stops seem appropriate for dual use too.

I bought the new ripstops v2 few days after launched.  They are some of the most comfortable shoes I have worn. No break in. 
 

I had to return them though because they felt narrow and I knew i wouldn’t be able to bear it for 18. I don’t have wide feet but I am on the border of regular and wide. So I guess you could say the rip stop v2 runs slightly narrower.
 

but if you have narrow/regular feet, they are some of the most comfortable running shoe like golf shoe I have worn. A true daily on/off course shoe. I am contemplating  order one size up, but not sure they would just run longer and not wider. Not sure what to do cause I wanted to love them.

I go 0.5 up on all my non OG trues. I’m usually an E-EE.

I contemplated on ordering 0.5. But when I was looking at the shoe itself in front of me, I felt like it would just run longer and not provide me with that slightly extra width. But then again, I don’t know jack sh*t bout making a shoe lol. 
 

I might just size up and see what happens. I really did love the shoe.

Agree with your concern. I did end up 0.5 up when I ordered both sizes and the extra width or placement of the width was enough for the footbed to be comfortable. 
 

but for some models the overall fit was looser. I have knit 2s, lux sport, lux hybrid, and lux knit. They’re all a little different in fit but width was decent for me in all of them.

Father's day sale - going to give the FS-01 and the Ripstop V2's a try.

[CP4L]

I have the Lux Hybrid. Walk unless course requires cart. Probably my favorite of all time in their lineup and have worn almost all of them. 10/10

[MattM97]

Walked my first 18 with the OG1.2 and what a perfect day to test them out in the rain. I got these used and did use them in the simulator a few times but never outside.

 

Feet were dry for 18 holes, never really slipped, maybe once but that was in a muddy lie. Feet are a touch sore but I think that's just the zero drop, no hot spots which is an issue for me. Yeah so all in all I kinda like these as a walking option, still not a fan of a clown shoe look with the white OG1.2s.

 

Definitely think a pair of the OG Feel's will look better in general and be nice for walking rounds in the summer. The OG1.2 may just sit in my truck for rain rounds. Also the Lux Hybrid look really interesting as well to my eye, maybe grab those at some point as another walking option with some cushion.

Let me know what you think about the ripstop v2's. Im still hesitant bout sizing up. 

[Liveonce]

I’ve got a ton of Trues. Unsure about the ripstop v2. I love the style, but they are a bit narrow. Their sizing is a bit all over the place
