ChiefMikeOfficer Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 It's going to vary based on your actual foot size/shape, but my go to shoes for walking are New Balance (minimus is my top choice but I have another that is also very comfortable). G/Fore MG4+ come in close second for me, and I bet their new cross trainers are great too, but they are pricey. 1 Quote Driver: Stealth Plus 8* (adjusted to 8.75*), Mitsubishi Diamana ZF 70 X Flex Fairway: SIM, 15* (adjusted to 14.25*) w/ Paderson Kinetixx Ballistic TP 85 X Flex Irons: U505 1 Iron (16*), T200 "Utility Build" 3 and 4 irons, all with Graphite Design Tour AD-IZ 95 X Flex, T100S 5-PW with Nippon Pro Modus 120 X Flex (2021 MGS Test).

Godawgs Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Try sketcher GoGolf . I’ve had mine for 2 full seasons and they’re still in good shape. I where a 4e shoe and the wide shoes work great.

Carnousty Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I have bought top of the line Footjoys three and two years ago and alternate. Both pairs are still waterproof ( I golf in the British Colombia) and I have never worn more comfortable shoes. You get what you pay for.

RollingGreens Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I’m currently using the Adidas tour 360. It should really be a spineless shoe and after that build in what’s comfortable.

fixyurdivot Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I would have suggested DSG's (Golf Galaxy) Walter Hagen... until I just received and immediately returned their latest version of what has been a great shoe at a fantastic price point . Prior to this year, they had leather uppers but, despite what their website description states, that is not the case ... even the label on the tongue states otherwise. I contacted GG and advised them of this. They still have the "Ortholite" soles which I have found to be quite comfortable and kept any recurrence of my PF at bay. But, their color scheme, new lace eyelet design, combined with the who knows what material upper has me looking elsewhere. There was another thread earlier this year about golf shoe inventory shortages and I kind of think there is. Anyone else been shopping recently and noted this (at least for popular sizes like 12M)?

pineneedlespro Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 On 2/16/2019 at 12:24 PM, TR1PTIK said: I'll try to keep this short and simple. Looking for recommendations on a new golf shoe. I currently own a pair of FJ Freestyles and a pair of cheap Pumas. Neither are comfortable for me to walk in. The Pumas don't have enough cushion to be comfortable for 18 holes and they aren't waterproof (water-resistant for you special people). The FJ's no longer keep water out and something about them causes pain in my big toe on my right foot. Anyway, I'm looking for something that will be comfortable for 18 or even 36 holes and does a good job keeping water out. Spiked or spikeless doesn't really matter. Just looking for a good comfortable shoe. The best shoe I had previously was the FJ GreenJoys from a couple years ago. Anything like that would be great! I have seriously been eyeing the TRUE Original, but I'm worried about the wide toe box - their description says up to EEE for that section of the shoe. I'm worried that would allow too much movement for my foot. For reference, I'm perfectly suited to a US Men's 10.5 D... Thanks!

Beakbryce Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Skechers, but not the golf shoe. Something like this: Skechers® Selmen Enago Men's Waterproof Hiking Shoes. Super comfortable and way cheaper than golf shoes. Look at Kohl's for the best deal right now. Walked the course in various Skechers for the past 10 years.

Donn lost in San Diego Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Realize that the golf swing puts a big demand on a shoe. I bot a Squairz, Nick Faldo promotes them and he does almot no endorsements. I have been injured so have not used them much but the concept of better firm wrap of the foot in the swing appeals.

I don’t think it is a good comparison If you're ever looking at equipment look at the guys (and girls) who don't get paid to wear this stuff or play with the clubs they have. Guys like Brooks or Horschel who don't have club deals. Better to look at the LPGA and the senior tours as well as mini tours and qualifiers to see what people are wearing out there.

higherplane Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Walk and even started carrying clubs at times. Recently found ASICS golf shoes, marketed in US through Srizon. Similar to the running shoes pull out base inner and put in an orthotic. Keeps heel slightly higher that is much better for walking and running. Like a running shoe for golf. This year's model is more waterproof then last years, although still not as dry as my old FJ's, will be only so so in downpour. Have also heard great things about Sketchers.

Manny Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I am a golf shoe snob, I have 10 pairs all brands.

Michael J Lee Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I am very particular about shoes in general and especially golf shoes. I golf everyday, practicing for 2-3 hours or 9-18 holes, 3 times a week, walking always. I have tried Nike, FJ and Adidas. The Adidas CodeChaos is best by far although FJ was a respectable option! 1 Quote New Avid Golfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzan Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 I can't recommend True Linkswear enough. I've had 5-6 pair, I only walk, and I will only ever buy these shoes for golf. Your foot pain is most likely due to the shoes being too narrow. Look at how the toebox is shaped like a triangle. Most FJ, Nike, Puma, etc. shoes are built like that for fashion. It's ridiculous. I've had my current True OG shoes for two years. They are still waterproof and the tread is holding up nicely. Slightly more wear in the left foot (RH golfer), probably due to wearing them on a practice matt twice a week. I have another pair that I bought on sale in April from Global Golf waiting for my OG's to be retired. I'm certain they will last the rest of the year. I also have a knit pair that I wear to work. 1 Quote TZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdroma98 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 As with many previous comments, I've narrowed my shoes to New Balance (fresh Foam PaceSL - water resistant) and Sketchers Go Golf (waterproof). Both very comfortable as well. Will never buy Nike's! You can almost predict the shoe lasting 6 months or less, and heel/sole starts separating. Even the waterproof Nike's are not durable. Love Ecco's but don't hold up under wet conditions such as playing in mornings with morning dew. Just got done walking 18 holes wearing Sketchers Go Golf pair and feet dry after round. Tomorrow I'll wear New Balance.
