gavinski91 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Do you do it, and are you successful? Used to golf in your standard Nike running shoes, and my feet would be all over the place off every tee. Still don't own golf shoes, but I wear my Salomon Speedcross 4 GTX trail runners and they are great - the lugs are spaced far enough apart and are long enough apart that I don't have any issues. Plus they're way more comfortable than the Adidas spikeless shoes I tried for a round and a half. What non-golf shoes do you golf in?

2puttbogey Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 For comfort ( i walk) I wear running shoes and don’t seem to have any problems with traction. I would be interested in trying out some of the spikeless options that are coming out now as they seem to be more comfortable.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy gavinski91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middler Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I tried playing in my running shoes a couple times as a test before buying spikeless golf shoes, but I wouldn’t do it otherwise. Might get away with it when it’s dry if you don’t swing very hard. Decent golf shoes provide better traction and stability than running shoes. There are comfortable spikeless and even spiked golf shoes. I wear spikeless golf shoes if the ground is completely dry, spikes if it’s wet or raining.

GolfSpy_BNG Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I played this last weekends round in a pair of adidas icon 4 trainer turn shoes. It was an early morning round with lots of dew on the ground and I had no issues with slipping. They were extremely more comfortable than my Nike golf shoes. It is the route I will be going from now on.

sixcat Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I found out the hard way, running shoes don't offer enough lateral stability. Walking a hilly layout and/or the motion of the golf swing, running shoes allow too much lateral movement. In my case, a sort of rolling of the left foot that over time resulted in a knee injury. I'm all better now but the process was a painful one and painful lesson to learn. downlowkey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russtopherb Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I've tried, and it's a no-go for me. I walked an early morning round, forgetting that I had pulled my Nikes out of the trunk to clean them off. I was sliding everywhere, between tee boxes and trying to walk up hills I made sure to never forget my shoes again.

dlow206 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 It was wet out the other day and I slipped when I was hitting an iron off the tee on a par 3 while wearing spikeless golf shoes. I can't imagine what would have happened if I was wearing non-golf shoes, would have probably fell over.

Korann Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) To be honest, I don’t understand at all why you need to sort your shoes according to different sports. Many athletes train in the most comfortable shoes for them and do not try to comply with the norms. Likewise, in everyday life, each person should wear such shoes in which he is really comfortable. For example, I use tennis shoes to play golf because they are comfortable for long walks and go well with my tracksuit. I also wear tennis shoes for evening walks and use them in the gym because they are comfortable. Tennis shoes are versatile and great for everyday use and don't bother me at all that I'm not wearing the right shoes.

Cbfodalo Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I am sort of function over fashion, but still I like to look good on course. I have 3 pairs of golf shoes all new balance all waterproof and all super comfortable. Spikeless grey Spikeless white I wear these on nice clean days where its not too soft or muddy. Spiked black shoes I wear these in wet or soft days. Better traction in wet or lose soil. I play often so I try to alternate shoes so i do not wear same shoe two days in row. Call me old school, but the trend these days to ignore dress codes bothers me. Ever sit in restaurant and see a man wearing a hat at dinner table? I was raised that men take off there hats inside and especially at dinner table or when meeting a woman. No offense to anyone's preference, but for me wearing sneakers to a golf course is like wearing a t-shirt or cut off jeans. There is a dress code for golf and its embarrassing to see people dress like they are doing yard work.

Middler Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Update since June: I've converted from spikeless dry/spikes wet to spikeless all the time over the past 6 months. With the comfort, stability and traction of my CodeChaos I don't see any reason to use non-golf shoes.

Have you tried other Salomons? Any drawbacks, sizing issues, etc? I find that they tend to run a bit long (they advertise their size 10 as an EU44, while most other brands IME say it's an EU43) and the width doesn't work for everyone. The stock insoles in mine eventually collapsed as well, but by that point the lugs were worn down to almost nothing and they had a few hundred miles on harsh trails on them. Since I started this thread I've replaced them with a pair of Hoka One One Speedgoats, which have a similar stack height and lug design but cushier foam in the midsole and a bit less stiff (and fit the shape of my feet a bit better). I've also always found that GoreTex does a better job keeping my feet dry than any other alternatives. One downside though is that the lugs are actually quite soft - they have no problem gripping in wet or muddy conditions, but will wear down very fast if you do a lot of walking on pavement. If the course you play has paved cart paths and you walk them often, you could very easily go through a pair in a single season - not something you want to do with $150 shoes! 17 hours ago, fixyurdivot said: Other than at the range (an even then not too often) I'll wear my everyday tennis shoe.

Golf shoes seem to have a larger density of smaller spikes while my trail runners have a smaller density of big spikes.

EZV Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Though not my current setup, I've used Salomon trail runners for both trail running and hiking, and love them to death as they are super comfortable and light. But they would never do it for me on the golf course from looks, feel or grip. Just my personal preference and I need way more support and grip on average surfaces than those provide on the golf course. I found them most helpful in super muddy terrain and dirt/rock, which thankfully isn't mostly what I am playing from on the course. And so many golf shoes bridge the line anyways between sports but with spikes or a spikeless tread I feel like I can get what I want and not sacrifice the comfort. fozcycle 1 Quote Titleist Ts3 9.5° Even Flow T1100 6.5 3W/5W: Srixon Z F85 HZRDUS Red 6.0 4-PW: Titleist 720 CB NS PRO 1050 GH Wedges: Vokey SM7 (50°-54°-58°) NS PRO 1050 GH Putter: Scotty Cameron Newport 2 Ball: Titleist ProV1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excourse Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I wear any good sneaker that doesn't have a slick sole, some Skecher models are particularly good.

StrokerAce Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I was out in OR/ID for a funeral and my buddy wanted to meet up and play a round but I didn't bring anything with me. Popped in to a local store and picked up a cheap pair of LA Gear low top hiking shoes. They actually worked really well. The tread on the bottom was excellent.
