Any info on ow they fit? Did you go true to size?

I went TTS on these and I'm happy with the fit.  As the ad said, "much more democratic fit"  that kind of makes sense now.  Not nearly as narrow/tight as the original ZITs especially in the toebox and doesn't hug the achilles as much if at all, I'll have to try it out on the course.  Very lightweight.

Thanks for the info.

 

My problem with the ZITs weren't the width of the forefoot/toe area, but the HEIGHT of the toe area. My toes felt like they were being stepped on in the ZITs. Really strange to make them that way. Oh -- and the cuffs under my heel bone came up too high. They were going to rip the underside of my ankles apart.

 

So, how are these in terms of forefoot area width, and also in terms of toe-room height? And are the under-ankle cuffs lower than the ZITs?

Under ankle cuffs = achilles......all good there, I had the same issue with the ZITs. Seems to be a lot better but I'll reserve my final opinion until after I walk 18 in them.  The toe box doesn't feel crammed, height or width.  Again, a noticeably looser fit than the ZITs (out of the box).

I had this same problem. So much pressure pushing down on the tops of my toes. I'm a TTS 11 and I even tried an 11.5 on and it was the same feeling just more length. I believe just how the shoe is made.

 

Hoping this new shoe has more space in the toe box.

Thanks to an AMAZING person, I also have a pair. I have to admit though, I’m kind of disappointed. They feel ‘big’ and almost a step back from the ZIT. Hard to pass judgement on them without wearing on the course but I’m not so sure I’ll have 25+ pairs of these like I do with the ZIT. The heel portion feels like it could slip right off my foot. Dang Nike. Why’d you go and mess up a good thing?

Maybe that’s a good sign for me because the ZITS looked cool but trying them on was a chore, too narrow, and not comfy.   Maybe these will be for me.

I get that. Personally, I like a tighter fit. Feels more athletic, secure and stable for a violent golf swing.

Maybe but the ZIT is the GOAT Nike Golf shoe ever created. IMO.

Just ordered on Nike app

 

[fredstar]

ZIT 1: "too narrow, not wide enough, too unstable"

 

ZIT 2: "too big, sole too wide, too chunky"

 

LOL can't please everyone

I guess I would be 2 in 7…I have 18 pairs of the ZITs.  Absolutely love them and my AM 90s.

I liked them but it felt like my foot moved too much in them. The bottoms throw you off when you first start wearing them but after you get adjusted it's not bad.  I just didn't have the stability of the shoe I wanted.

The ZITs were definitely not a "good thing." They looked great, and that's about it. The bunching tongue, the too-high and hard ankle cuffs, the rough edge/transition from ankle cuff to tongue, the Achilles "clamp," the prone-to-breaking "big spike"... And having to go up a full size just to get your foot in them? (I went up a half size, and that didn't work.) Based on the looks, I wanted to love them, but I couldn't even like them. It's a shame.

That’s where I was.  Loved their look.  Couldn’t make anything else work.

I want to love the Air Max 90s... but I have to wear two insoles with them to be comfortable.

Beauty, yes -- but that's not being questioned (much) here. It's the lack of functionality that's a real problem to me.

[Warrick]

I tried everything with ZIT also, just not a comfortable shoe, think the last Nike golf shoes I bought and kept were the victory pro and roshe tour.

 

Puma and True are just better shoes.

The new Alphacat are awesome, have the grey color in the laced version, like them enough I ordered the white disc version this morning.

 

RBG has 20% off, down to $128 before tax

[StillCantPutt]

This is the part of the shoe that I’m most confused about. The sole plate is this thin hard plastic and it just browser feel stable. I tried to capture it in the pictures. Again, just me walking around the basement, but it feels weird and narrow. 

[KMeloney]

Yeah, this looks like they sacrificed stability for edgy looks. Bizarre to have a huge, unsupported space where your foot wants to roll.

I mean it works for runners. Why wouldn’t it work golfers. It’s practically the same thing and we clearly all have the same body type as Kipchoge. Lol

Make it 3. I have WAY too many ZITs. Not super interested in the new version.

Love the ZIT, fit great (wide and standard, even for a big dude like me), looked cool, never broke a spike (30+ rounds), never slipped, never had an achilles issue, had a blister once on the ankle (remedied by slightly higher socks and never a chafe again), look great after a run thru the washing machine.

 

I'll keep gaming them because...

 

These Next% look like $100 shoes, not $160 flagship shoes. Goofy swoosh, very plain details, meh colorations, even the fabric weaving of the upper is much less cool than the ZITs. 

 

Looks like a much simpler, cheaper shoe to make...and the price is the same.  huh.

Yeah. You summed it up well. Again, reserving judgment until I play this weekend in Florida but not as cool of an offering as the ZIT were. 

[mci711]

Went to gfore shoes this fall/winter. Today was the end of that. Gallivanter was really bothering me and after 9 I got my 270Gs out of my locker and it was night and day difference. I want to go back to Nike but their current offerings are absolutely terrible. I had 10+ pairs of zits. I love the new pink and blue shoes Brooks wore. I know they are in the catalog, what month can we expect that release? 

[Minarets]

I went to GG today and asked them if they had them in the back.  They brought out the black ones for me to see.  I never but black shoes as I am not a fan.  They shoe is super light.  That said, it did feel cheaper made.  It does look more cushioned than the previous ZIT, but the black ones felt like a cheap plastic shoe.   The heel cushion looks great.   The react I assume will be nice.   I’m glad to see a normal tongue.  I can loosen laces and easily put on a shoe. They are definitely wider looking.   Looking forward to trying on but the black ones do look kinda cheap and the material feels sorta cheap.
