That is a cool concept. I'll be curious how it works out, but I'd probably give them a shot

I pledged $20 for a pair, if the concept actually works it's a brilliant idea, my only concern is for sneakers that have a thinner sole, will the screw in spike go through?

Great idea but I just don't see it working. Most sneakers don't have the sole rigidity to support a spike screwing into them and then staying in during the movements of a golf swing. And I can imagine it would feel too great for one of the spikes to accidentally press through the sole and into your foot.

 

Again, great idea in theory - but I just don't think the execution is going to work

I tend to agree with you specially if I want to do it with my converse, I find out in November, not a big investment to try them out. Will let you know.

I saw the article on WRX and thought the exact same thing about the rigidity supporting the threads especially for a big guy like me. Most sneakers have soft soles too and I think that would add to the rigidity thread support issue too. May work though for a lighter guy

To add to your point, even if the soles were​ thick and durable enough, many would be equipping shoes that aren't designed to provide the stability needed to properly support your ankles and legs through a full swing.  The idea is awesome and the price was almost enough to tempt me into trying it.  But all I see are unnecessary injuries and blown out shoes. 

 

Yo but I got dope kicks though.

This is quite a reach IMO. As a couple other members have mentioned, the sole rigidity of a pair of trainers appears to be the biggest challenge.

If one is that desperate to turn your every days into golf shoes, why not just strap on a pair of yaks?

Boy, I'm not a fan of this at all.  If you want to use "regular shoes" as golf shoes, just buy a set of trail running shoes.  I suspect they will do much better than these.

Up here we do a lot of things on ice over the winter- by choice sometimes, sometimes not- so ice cleats that strap on to your shoes are readily available. If I was going to try to wear sneaks on the course I'd try this first, although I doubt the greenskeepers would be too keen on the idea.

"Make any shoe a golf shoe"

 

My take: Make any foot a pin cushion...

 

The interesting concept here for me is trying to guess how long before the early backers kickstart a class action lawsuit.
