Shoes - what do you like to wear.

[maskedman]

I very much prefer athletic, sneaker style golf shoes, like Nike Shox. Comfort and style all in one, 2 yr waterproof warranty, right price.

[imsocrabby]

i'll chime in.

 

 

i rotate 6 pair.

 

4 of them are callway. 1 is all black, faux-croc cap toe. 1 is white with black faux-croc reverse saddle. 1 is white with black non-traditional saddle. 1 is white with fushia non-traditional saddle.

 

callaway shoes for me are the best. but i am hesitant on the new styles....they look goofy....IMO.

 

other 2 pair are Ecco. 1 is the winged buckle with the mint green toe cap. 1 is winged buckle in white

 

 

but this is on my list....

Currently in Nike SP5 and SP5.5. All Black. The old Adidas three stripes were also comfortable. Basically anything that doesn't look like something your great grandfather would have worn with a suit. Definitely prefer comfort and a more athletic shoe

[Charlie_Foxtrot]

Footjoy Contour in Black/Brown-

 

 

The only shoes that even came close to kinda, sorta fitting my weird shaped feet.

ADIDAS......................................or...............................J. LINDBERG

I've tried them all over the years, currently have 4 pairs . I walk my course 4- 5 times a week usually first off so the dew gets to them and they need to dry off. I have 2 pairs of Callaway and 2 pairs of Ecco. The Callaways are okay but I really notice a difference when I put on the Eccos. Their motto is "Comfort out of the Box" and thats what you get. Without a doubt the most comfortable golf shoe ever. I've even started buying their dress and street shoes I like them so much. My buddy has ten pairs, which is why we call him Imelda when he comes up short on a putt. They're expensive, but the comfort level is worth ever penny, and they are also very good looking shoes.

I finally found the best shoes in existence: New Balance golf shoes! Most people have never heard of them, but they're by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Perfect fit for golf, and are available up to sz. 15 and several widths. This may sound like an ad, but as a person who wears 14EE shoes, I really appreciate the size options. Very nice, understated look in all black, with excellent insoles.

 

I love NB X-trainers and running shoes...I didn't know they made golf shoes*, thanks for the info!

 

I am a traditionalist...just like in my wardrobe...I always have one pair of black and one pair of brown shoes going...currently...black Addidas Tour Traxion (First try w/ Addidas) and brown/brown FJ Dryjoys with the addition of brown FJ Contours for wear w/ shorts...J

 

PS-Do your shoes a favor...shoe trees always and invest in a shoe horn (BB has some nice horn ones on sale for FD)...J

 

*(make that "golf shoe"...NB has only one model out...new venture...hope they take it farther)

I picked up a pair of FJ Contour '07 closeouts (white w/ black) this week and put them into play Sunday. Very nice shoe, much more comfortable than the New Balances and no foot or achilles pain. If they hold up I'll probably be looking for a couple more pair to stash away.

[CGB]

My two pairs:

 

Tan colored Cally HX Tour

 

Brown saddle Contours

[lefty92]

I picked up some Adidas Powerband's in black and silver yesterday.

 

 

[withdrew]

I have an old pair of Nike Air Max (the look like running sneakers) and they have a zip-up gore-tex sleeve covering the whole sneaker. I use these when I play alone, go to the range, walk a course.

 

My others are a pair of Oakley all white wingtips (friggin AWESOME) and Adidas Tour 360 in the black and brown/copper color. I could walk in these shoes too, but they're so nice, I only wear them when I know I'm going to ride, or for something like a "formal" outing...

[jjbubba72]

I wish I could say I picked my shoes for the way they looked, but I'd be lying. Unfortunately, there just are not that stylish shoes available in a 15 wide. Thank goodness for Adidas. Only company that I have found that regularly caters to the big footed individual. Sporting some black and silver powerbands at the moment. Have another pair in the black white and silver.

[pmcg no.6]

I wear Footjoy Greenjoy Ahtletic. Got them from the wife for Christmas last year. Love 'em!

 

[Azurelimits]

Adidas Tour Metal II's for me, all black and comfortable.

[sleepy_augusto]

bite biocool and some older etonics. all mesh shoes are amazing when it's hot. can't wear 'em for early morning or rainy golf though.

[FreakinA]

I have some Adidas tour performers but am looking to either pick up the Jlindeberg cheaper ones or some sweet lime colored Pumas.

[Trxjw]

I wear Footjoy something-or-others. :clapping:

 

I wish I could say that I spent hours and hours searching for the right shoe, but these were all I could afford and my local shop back home didn't carry any other brands. I might end up with a pair of adidas at some point, or the New Balance's if I can find them. I have two pairs of NB's for running and x-training and they're absolutely amazing. Everytime I put them on it makes me wonder why I don't wear them every day.

 

..then I realize that they're orange.. and I'd look like a moron.

[ratpack]

I recently got a pair of Nike SP-6. They fell great and are well cushioned. They have zoom air insoles and come in wide. They are also on sale for 80 at Golfsmith or TGW.

 

[Larwood91]

FJ eComfort all black when I have an appropriate outfit on, but I have SP6 II white w/ black swoosh and khaki stitching for other outfits.

[lido54]

I have two pairs of ECCO's in all black. Very comfortable and they wear very well. They also stay nice and dry in wet conditons. They are getting more and more popular and should in my opinion be added to the poll.

[Sideways]

I take back my previous comments about Eccos being overrated. I tried on several pair at Golf Galaxy last Thursday and found them to be very supple leather and well-made. Unfortunately, though, they gave me almost no arch support, so I still didn't buy them.

 

Last Saturday I walked 27 in my Adidas Tech Feather II's and I was so pleased with how I felt afterward that I ordered a pair of Adidas Seasides on closeout from Rockbottom Golf. They are built on the same exact last as the Tech Feathers and have to rank as one of the great shoe deals of the year. Perfect fit for me.

[DaveyH]

the new hi tecs are great borrowed a pair from the pro shame i have too many pairs of golf shoes!

[Minarets]

for some cheap ones, i love my Callaway Chevs....i wear the black/taupe ones....i prefer black shoes

[Doc Mcstuffins]

My new favorite shoe is he Adidas Tour 360II. I have a bunch of pairs of Adidas Z-Traxion Tours and love them and a pair of FJ Classic Tours that after a dozen rounds feel terrible compaired to the Adidas. The Tour 360's feel like your walking on a bed of air and they never seem to lose there cushioning.

[superlegend]

Oakley make great golf shoes,they look good are comfortable and tough.

I used to be a person that went only for style, until I had plantar faciitis in both of my feet. Back in the old days I pretty much only wore Footjoy Classics or Reebok's spikeless version of the Classic that used to sell for over $200. I had every color combination imaginable(it helps when you get stuff PUD) My favorite were a pair of Footjoy Classics Teaching shoes that a cream color with a light blue saddle that were one of the few teaching shoes they did in suede. I wore those things to death on the course.

 

But now that I've got bad feet they are nearly impossible to wear. None of the Adidas or Ecco I've tried fit well. The Etonics pinch at the toes, J. Lindberg and Reebok and Puma just don't fit. Only two brands are really comfortable because I have to wear special arch support insoles, Bite and Nike. But I've found that the most comfortable are the Nike Shox. I've worn them almost exclusively this year and have had no issues at all in any kind of weather. They are by far the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned. If I'm playing somewhere that might complain about that style of shoe I'll go with Nike SP-5 or a pair of Bite's(usually Ortho Sport), but otherwise it's the Shox all the way.

Did not believe until I happen to come across a pair of the Hitec Power, It gave me superior traction=longer distance.

3 Pairs of Foot-Joy Reel-Fit

 

1- all white

 

1-all black

 

1-all black (Classic Tour BOA)

 

I thought the Reel-Fit thing was a gimmick until I tried them out. These are the best fitting shoe's I have ever had and I have had a bunch!

[loulou]

Classics Dry Premier and occasionally Classics Tour. The Dry Premiers look sharper than the Tours due to the sole in my opinion but I have fallen in love with the Classics Tour with the ReelFit technology pretty cool looking.

[aop62]

2 pair of Nike SP 6 II's

1 pair of Adidas Tour 360 II's

 

both equally as comfortable....
