Shoe Ho's Anonymous

My wife and I stopped by the local fitter and she was drawn to golf shoes on sale. I promptly reminded her I had just bought her 3 pairs. There's no end to the madness.

Nice!  Those are 100% my style.  I'd get slaughtered if I brought another pair home, but those might be worth it.

Oh, I'm most likely gonna get hammered by the War Department myself...Worth it!!!

Just got these delivered today. Truelinkswear Major... wore them around the house and they are amazingly comfortable. 3rd pair of Truelinkswear and I don’t think I’ll wear anything else. Really good quality and comfort!

My "new-to-me" Footjoys showed up last night! Got the laces redone like I like (left-over-right) and spiked-up with my standard Black Widows. Wore them around a bit and they are perfect!

Yes... I am one sick puppy...

Actually a fine looking shoe right there. How do they feel?

I bought three pairs of last year’s Footjoy Pro SL, and I wouldn’t have a hard time buying three more pairs! Luckily I’ve been able to fight the temptation! I do want a pair of the Red and white Nike Air Max! This look SWEET!

Those are great looking steppers too! Obviously you love them, but I'm dying to see pics of them. Did you get multi-colored ones" All different? Please share!

Quite firm when hitting, Very comfortable. They are the wide type.

Of course, to be a true "shoe ho", you're going to have to step up your game and get at least 3 or 4 more pairs...!

[tony@CIC]

Good looking shoes. I haven't seem them at GG but then FJ seems to own all the shelf space there.

Have been thinking about these too! The design is fantastic. I've been wearing Adidas Tour 360 Boost and really like them but these have me intrigued.

One by one i´ll get there. I´m also kind of hard to please when it comes to shoes and sneakers. And when it comes to golf shoes i´m also trying to find the kind i like. This is my 3rd pair in 1 year of golfing. The first ones were kind of soccer shoes with rubbers indentations, the 2nd was a spike less brown casual shoe and these are my first with spikes.

 

1st

2nd

4th will be between this...

 

or these

 

It´s also kind of hard to get good golf shoes at an affordable price. We have Portuguese brands with good looking shoes but expensive, and not so many golf shops around. The pro-shops at the clubs don´t have that much of variety.

Just got these for $18. Wear tons of color in everything else, figured it was time for shoes too

When I first got out of college I worked retail in sporting goods, and my dream was to become a shoe rep!!! Nike, Converse, Reebok, Avia, and Adidas reps would all come-by to show us the new models for the season, and go through the various technologies. They would run promotions, and I’d try to win EVERY one of them because we always won something cool!
The absolute best days were when they’d bring by the order sheets. We could order up to four pairs of shoes BELOW cost at a time! I had SO many shoes, and I was as happy as a lark!
Reebok had an opening in Birmingham, AL, and I pulled every string I could to be the rep! Had to see 60 accounts each month. The manager called me, and the job was mine.... Until......... Reebok decided not to fill the spot, but instead split the territory among the other reps. Ugh. Heartbroken!!!

Your both of your 4th options are pretty sweet looking. Is that a fairly new company?

It´s what we call a white Brand... like Kirkland @ costco... a brand that manufacturers for a specific company anything they want. We have a Sports supplies chain called Decathlon ( it´s a French company ) and Inesis is their low cost brand. The models you see are this year golf shoes models. Last year they had #2 at different colors.

To all in the Shoe Ho Anonymous meeting, My name is Tony and I have a problem!

Today on my way into Cleveland, my car unexpectedly careened across the turning lane straight in Golf Galaxy. How it knew to do this I'll never tell. But since I'm here and I coincidentally  or conveniently (which ever works for you), just happen to have some reward coupons with me.. To quench my addiction, I just had to check out the sales. 

Low and behold, last year's Pro SL's were on the deep discount table and miraculously there was one pair left in my size!  I, as many of you would quickly snatched them up and appropriately disposed of my reward certificates . Hopefully you won't think any less of me. I promise not to buy any other golf stuff  (at least for a little while).

Sweet pick-up there! Those look comfy!

BTW, you may want to let the car rental company about that little fault with your car...sounds "troublesome"...

Does 3 pair classify me as a "shoe ho"? No pictures right now, but I currently own a pair of Puma Grip Sport spikeless, FJ Freestyles, and recently purchased Adidas Tour 360 Boost 2.0s.

Of course! Welcome to the group! Tell us more about your "affliction".

You're in but only on super secret probation.

Here's my latest sitting at the bottom of my FJ shoe rack

This is merely the current rotation roster. And five of this group have identical NIB backups.

Assumed it wasn’t really a problem because I hadn’t attended any anonymous meetings. But since I’m already here, my name is DLK and I’m the worst kind of shoe ho.

The NIB back-ups puts you into a whole new realm of "HO"-ness!!! THAT is true sickness and I love it! Nice pic too BTW... 

[Shankster]

I’ve officially been missing out on grip. Just a few swings inside and I feel like I am glued to the floor. Maybe help with my spinning left foot.... comfy too!!



Time to retire the adidas European Ryder Cup colors shoes. they had a great run, but the soles are starting to separate.

Might be getting a pair of Nike running shoes.
