Golf Shoes - Worth the Price?


gkatshoots69

Recommended Posts

I think I paid $140 my most expensive shoes. Got them 4 yrs ago and all I've done is replace laces, spikes and insoles.

If you make a big investment, better take care of them and they'll take care of you.

Not proud to admit this...but I did buy a pair of the Jordan ST Trainers!  I bought a pair of TW13s in late 2013 and they were worth every penny, still wear them every round but I figure I spend a ton of $$ on clubs and other crap, why not on shoes??  In all seriousness, it was an impulse buy...but damn they are sooooo comfortable.  I am debating on selling them before I wear them out of the house but it is going to be tough not to go play in them.

$150 is my limit. But worth it? Yes. They keep my feet dry in the dew, and I have foot problems, so they must be comfortable but traditional. Not those tennis shoe things which I can feel the spikes thru.

 

I'm on my 2nd pair of FJ Custom Contours, the best value in golf shoes. Custom made with my colors and logo for $150. Problem is, I can't find them anymore. FJ replaced the Contour line with Icon, which cut my ankles, and their Tipshield lines which are around $230. There's no end to Titleist and FJ ripping you off.

 

My first pair of FJ Custom Contours are about 5 years old, the 2nd about 2 years. I walk a fair amount, so must have shoes that don't hurt my feet, and these are great. I ordered both pair from TGW and tho they said 5 weeks, they both came straight from China in 2 weeks. Soft leather, polished, no break-in needed. I'm sure some craftsman in China wants to keep making these, but the marketing execs at FJ said, "nah, we can increase our profit margin on the top of the line shoe."

I have big wide feet. I need good shoes or my feet are barking by the end of the round. I always look for bargains and year old designs or close out can be great finds. I typical stick to FootJoys or Addidas. With wide feet you are limited in selection as not all styles are offered in wide.

I think they are worth it for the traction even the pattern on spike less shoes. In the end though I think it's your preference over anything

I can see myself paying up to $200 for special shoes like Jordan's or something different like Tiger's (I love the comfort of the Nike Free)

Otherwise, I'll wait for clearance and closeouts and keep the price under $100.

Its sad when you have to resort to screwdrivers and boxcutters because the spike removal tool won't work. I had literally broken a sweat when I decided to use the screwdriver to help loosen it up.

I doubt you will find them under 200 anytime soon. Might have to break down and get a good pair that'll last you a few years if you want high tops

Move over to the TW shoes and I promise you won't ever lose a spike randomly... Or possibly on purpose.

I had the same issue on my left shoe, known problem for footjoy they were allowing refunds our sending people spikes. Someone recommend using lock tite, my Adidas adipure's use the pins system too, but I have never lost spikes on those and I've had one pair almost 3 years and have replaced spikes 2 times by choice

Not 100% the Question but I used the removal tool, some small pliers and a small screwdriver. The screwdriver and pliers definitely helped loosen them up.

Just bought these at Golfsmith. I tried last years FJ model, then tried these. Comfortable? I wanted to wear these out of the store! Salesman said he's had customers come back after a week to buy a second pair. I'm looking forward to the next 6-mile walking round.

I like them and wanted to buy them but just could not get the right size and width combo, a full size and a half smaller than I normally wear and I could still slip them off without Un lacing them.

If the objective is to shoot a lower score, than definitely not!!!! A new pair of golf shoes will not substantially outperform a model that is 2 or 3 years old. I don't think the "cleats" technology has improved that much since changing metal spikes to plastic.

 

Does anyone else think that paying $150~$200 for the latest golf shoes is just ridiculous! I found this project that's looking to change that! feel free to check out the site!

You found that site link that has affordable golf shoes and you joined MGS an hour ago, replied to a year old post to promote it? How fortuitous for those of us looking for new golf shoes

 

Your forum name looks pretty similar to the website link, so I'd assume you are advertising your new golf shoe line. You can send me a PM and I'll give you my address. Send me a size 12 and I'll review them for our MGS members.

It's like anything else in golf - wait for it and you can get a $200 pair is shoes for $80. That's what I do.

 

I have four pairs right now because I bought a couple of pairs when Sports authority went OOB. The Trues are my favorites.

I love my footjoy shoes but I never buy the latest model when they come out. As Revkev said just wait a few months and they're discounted dramatically.

I usually wait until shoes are on sale. I've been a Foot Joy guy for a long time. Bought 2 pair a few weeks ago and they were under $70/ pr.

I've got spike and spikeless. I wear one or the other depending on where we're playing and conditions.

Shoes do not improve that much over time so I can buy new old stock from the year 2005 and it's still be a stellar piece. Although I'm spoiled with the new soft and easy to walk modern golf shoes, I'm not opposed to the stiff as hell leather wingtip that takes a few months to break in. You can pick one up for really cheap nowadays.
