The golf course has been over watered,  and was soggy in spots, but my feet stayed dry and the shoes cleaned up nicely. The uppers and midsole look great.

I do love these shoes.  May buy some white/blue ones too.

I have a new found appreciation for synthetic leather uppers due to the Sprintskin synthetic upper on the ZG23. The fact that I can clean them up, and, they look like new is mind boggling to me. I have a pair of white Pro/SL's that I only use for dry summer rounds, and, they don't clean up anywhere close to the ZG23's.

One guy was mentioning how these are like the Nike Koepka shoe so I went and found a pair at Burlington. I will say that the base is not at all the same. I played 18 in the Nike and I felt so unstable. It was my worst ball striking this year. I will not wear those shoes again. I play well and feel very stable in the Adidas, FJ Premiere, and some ADG 3s. Those are the only ones I trust from a stability perspective.

One puddle too many. Most of the shoe still looks good.

That was me. I was mostly saying that from a weight, synthetic materials and cushion standpoint, but I have no issue with the Next % stability wise despite how they appear.  They feel great to me.

Ok. Yea, they are a comfortable walking shoe, I just can't swing in them.

Cleaned these up after a wet round Wednesday morning. Still look and feel new. I haven't had a black pair since my tour 360's but I must say they're nice to have around for the wet days.

US Walker Cup Team did pretty well in these this week.

Played in probably 13-15 rounds now in the ZG23. As I have stated they are now some of my favorite shoes which has surprised me.  They are still neck and neck with the Next% (wide) for me. I do love the all white ones that I have.  I think they look modern and classy at the same time.  I am not sure I’d own any other color besides the white/blue ones.  Again, they look cheaper to me than the 360s but I much prefer the feel of a he ZG23. 
 

I walked for the first time in them Friday and they were great. It was wet (and rained all round) and was debating some shoes that were already kinda nasty but decided on the ZG23 and they felt great while walking.  
 

I would have probably never tried these on in store but now glad i did as they are some of my favs.  

Hey man - wondering how your ZG23's are holding up?  Specifically, could you talk about the heel cushioning.  Literally the only issue i had with these shoes was the inner lining started to fray and rip a hole.  Wondering if I can find a way to solve for this, because these shoes otherwise are THAT damn good.  How does your cushion look to date - any imperfections?

Just finished around in them.  They have been my go-to shoes this summer alongside the Next %.  Both are synthetic materials and clean up well and are extremely well cushioned.   I will take a pic when I stop of the heel cushion.   I have probably played 25+ rounds in them.  Considering buying a pair when I see them on sale next. I’ll send a pic soon.

Sorry. Forgot to get back to you and post pics.  That’s both the left and right.  No issues  yet

How is the heel cup in terms of digging into the flesh back there? I bought a pair of the '21 Morikawa's and really liked the fit/shoe, but I bled through my sock into the heel cup area.

I have no issues with that at all.

No issues for me either. I wear a medium thickness sock.

Great. Thank you two!

Definitely my favorite shoe. Like these better than the Tour 360. Like the weight, look and performance. Went with the black ones as it seems I am most frequently playing in soft conditions. 

[scottaz]

No issues with the heel so far for me either. I've had that with previous Adidas shoes that weren't leather back there.  I have walked 30+ rounds in these so far. They look, feel and perform the same as day one. The spikes are holding up very well.

 

I like to mix up what I wear but have needed the black due to wet conditions.  Water proofing has been tested more than I would like and passing each time.

Do you wear your normal size in these?  I wear 11 in Nike and was on the fringe with these 10.5/11.  Tried squeezing into the 10.5 and maybe that’s what caused the liner to rip.  Have 11s now and gonna try them this weekend 

[scottaz]

I wear 12.5-13 in Nikes, depending on the shoe. 12 in these. Fit is similar, just more toe box room, in a good way.
