2017 Shoe Buzz

[Smalls1588]

What's everyone wearing on their feet for this season?

 

I'm a big sneaker head on and off the golf course and have been loving anything involving Adidas' boost. I've been wearing the tour 360 boost BOA but it is time for a change and haven't done much research on new products yet. But why spend time scrolling through company's websites and golf magazines when I can just ask you guys. What are your recommendations? My big points are comfort and style.

 

You know what they say: look good, feel good, play good.

Currently wearing either last year's Tour 360 Boost (no BOA  ) or a pair of Nike high tops I bought on closeout.  I also have two pair of the new ECCO's -- the ECCO Cage Pro's (spineless)  and the ECCO Cool 18 GTX (cleated) - I really like those!!

 

Never worn BOA's - but this must happen soon!

I own a couple pair of the Nike Explorer SL spikeless because they were cheap. I invested in a pair of Adidas Adipower Boost 3 this year, and they are so, so much more comfortable than the Nikes. I walk 90% of the time, and I'd say they're one of my best investments yet.

[Shankster]

These bad boys. But at $225... wow. They better help with something other than looks.

As a Nike fan I went with the TW17s. after one practice session I'm very happy with them. Comfy but still keep me locked in thru out the swing. I also have a pair of the AF1s I use for practice

The one negative I have on the tour 360 boost BOA's is that when you step in a puddle, the murky water gets trapped in this insert on the sides of the shoe and its impossible to clean. But boy, when you click them and spin it to tighten, everyone watches in awe.

Been wanting a pair of DNA's since the originals, seem to really tear greens up though. Might have to experiment with Ecco, hear they're super comfortable and I walk a lot of rounds.

Always been an Adidas guy myself, the new Nike lunar control vapors are really tempting though. I'm a sucker for a slick, white shoe.

I do love the look of a sleek, white shoe but I know that it won't last long. At least for me. I really wanted the white/grey Adipower 3s but I went against it and got the black/white/bronze pair.

I currently have a pair of adi boosts, 360s, FJ DNA, (2) lunar controls, and another pair of Nikes I rotate through...and a new pair of Callaway that I got from ShortPar4 subscription. I wear all of these lol man those adiboosts are comfy though

I would love to build an inventory of shoes to rotate through but I tend to pick favorites and run them into the ground. I should probably work on that. The adiboosts were a life-saver in tournament golf playing 6 hour rounds. 

[grad2004cca]

I am on my second pair of FJ DNAs. Black with red laces for a pop of color. The lunar controls are Bad*ss and super comfortable. I've been tempted to scoop up a pair of the Nike chuccas that are on close out right now. I did try on the Adidas 360 tours at Dicks a couple of weeks ago and they were money.

Currently the Adidas Asym Boost. They are fantastic! Like walking on a cloud.

 

Tried: adidas adipure tp, but the sizing and last is different from previous generation and was not a hit with me

 

Also tried the Footjoy Icon Black with the Tshield, first told go .5 up from DNA, that was wrong, then tried same size and it tore up my heels. They look amazing, but we just don't get along.

 

Will probably buy the DNA 2.0s in black, really loved the originals.

Yeah tourney golf gets the DNAs or boosts. I tend to buy on tgw when they run a little deal of some kind and then just rotate through based on weather, practicing, etc. I buy 1-2 pair a year usually. We buy running shoes 1-2 times per year, why not golf shoes!

I'm a fan of Native shoes. Those Biions look like I might like them too. Decent traction control?

Those vapors are just sooooooo nice, I think I've reached my consensus.

Great outlook on it! I think I'll stick with my boosts and get a second pair tbd.

Foot draggers should not be allowed to wear anything with soft spikes.

I've worn TRUE Linkswear exclusively for the past 6 years because I'm a believer in the zero drop heel. But I'm giving the Adidas Asym Boost a hard look because I want more comfort. If I may be so presumptuous; How long have you had them? How are they holding up; particularly the tread? Has the Asym outsole tech been noticeable; both walking and swinging?

[mesaman777]

I'm rocking the 2 pairs of boost 2's I've been playing. No need to change, I love em. Most comfy.

I've had them since end of last October and they still feel great. I've used one pair extensively in rain or shine. I would say about a total of 30 rounds. From the pic you can see the rear "spikes" wear which I would attribute to me walking the cart part much much more with the wet soggy winter/ spring we've had as you can see from yesterday's round. The plastic spikes themselves have held up exceptionally well. I do feel them grip the ground more than my previous shoes which where adidas adipure 360s (great shoe too). No issues I can think of except maybe narrower than the adipure 360s
