mikeanthony Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Not really committed to any one specific shoe brand ... I’ll say I’ve owned more pairs of Adidas golf shoes over the last 15-20 years, but I’ve owned all the big brands at some time or another. On a whim, ordered these sweet looking kicks today ... it’ll be my first foray into Skechers golf. Got the white/aqua Does anyone have a pair? How are they? 2 Quote Driver: G410 SFT 10.5* 3W: Speedzone 14.5* Hybrid: TS2 19* & 21* Irons: 659 CB (5i-6i) 659 TC (7i-PW) Wedges: Glide 3.0 50* T22 55* & 59* Putter: 002 Mid-Mallet Ball: Pro V1 & MTB-Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenGolfer Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I used to have a pair of Sketchers golf shoes and they were fine. They were ugly but they were fairly comfortable and were durable. IMO, Sketchers makes fine golf shoes but theyre just fine. It seems like everything they make is ugly but if you like the style, Im sure they will be fine. 2 Quote "I suppose its better to be a master of 7 than to be vaguely familiar with 14." - Chick Evans Whats in my Sun Mountain 2.5+ stand bag?

I’m an early morning golfer here in SC and it’s always humid and wet, especially if it’s cart path only on a few holes and having to traverse through wet roughs ... hope these hold up like the reviews have said. Also like that they’re extremely light shoes as well.

jbsdaddy Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I am notoriously hard to fit for shoes. I've tried all of the Adidas and Footjoy offerings, as well as some Puma and Under Armor, and nothing fits. I bought two pairs of Skechers and they are great. One pair of fabric and one waterproof leather and the fit is great and they are comfortable, with no break-in. Not saying everyone will be as happy with them as I am, but they fit my freaky gunboats just fine. 1 Quote ksted driver: Ping G410 plus 3 wood: Ping G400 5 wood: Ping G400 hybrid: Cobra F8 irons: Ping G400 4-gw wedges: Ping G400 U 50, Cleveland RTX4 56, Zipcore 60 putter: Evnroll ER2 balls: Srixon Q Star Tour/Titleist Tour Soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt great as far as light and comfort. I just preferred a little more stability type feel during my swing. Guess that is kinda subjective as everyone has his/her preferences but I went back to FJ and/or Adidas models. Today I have Adidas spikeless and they doing well for me. But I will say the Sketchers were probably all things equal the best for walking an entire round. Again my discriminator was during my golf swing that I wanted the "feel" a certain way (feel torgue from ground up as I begin my backswing/downswing-transition). Probably has to do with the fact I learned to play in era with real steel spikes and I am use to "feeling" the ground resistance in my shoes/swing. Glad you like them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscipleofPenick Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I have a pair and it's the most comfortable golf shoe I have. I have Adidas, FJ, Nike, Puma, and TruLinks on the rack with them.

mikeanthony Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 This is all really good stuff, guys. I appreciate it. Started this thread back on July 12th, the same day I ordered my shoes ... and I STILL haven’t rcvd them as of yet. Current expected delivery date is this Tuesday. I did try a different pair of Skechers while at Dicks earlier in the week. While they weren’t the specific pair I ordered, it was one of their similar GOGOLF premium styles and they def felt really nice, light and snug. I’m a 12.5 and stores rarely, if at all, carry 12.5s in stock. 1 Quote Driver: G410 SFT 10.5* 3W: Speedzone 14.5* Hybrid: TS2 19* & 21* Irons: 659 CB (5i-6i) 659 TC (7i-PW) Wedges: Glide 3.0 50* T22 55* & 59* Putter: 002 Mid-Mallet Ball: Pro V1 & MTB-Black Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlaidJacket Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I've been wearing Sketchers shoes for about 2 years now. The ones I wear are not Sketchers Golf shoes. More of an athletic - walking type of shoe I guess they are. I buy them at the Sketchers Outlet store. They are a flat sole. No cleats, spikes, lugs, etc. I used to think that only a "golf" specific shoe would work for me. Ha! But one day I decided to wear my Sketchers and loved them on the course. I buy these Sketchers for about $40/pair. Now... the course and courses where I normally play are dry and fairly flat. These shoes I wear wouldn't be good in a wet climate. But they work for me. A bonus is they are green friendly. Modern golf shoes with cleats/spikes are horrible on the greens. Worse IMO than even old metal spikes ever were. 2 Quote My Sun Mountain bag currently includes: 771CSI 5i - PW and PFC Micro Tour-c 52°, 56°, 60 wedges EXS 10.5*, 929-HS FW4 16.5* Willimette w/GolfPride Contour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cleats I have in them now leave marks all over the greens. It's embarrassing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawgDaddy Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 These are the Skechers I am playing golf in these days. They are light weight, comfortable and spikeless. I will probably buy the same when these wear out. Of course I have at least 12 pair of shoes and really should swap them out more than I do, it's just when I find some I like I pretty well wear them out instead of rotating. lol 2 Quote Driver - Epic Speed Woods - Mavrik 3 Wood & Epic Flash Heavenwood Hybrid - Epic Flash 4H Irons - Rogue X 5 - AW Wedges - CBX2 54* & 58* Putter - ER2 Rangefinder - NX9 Slope Ball - Vice Pro Soft Drip Bag - Xtreme Cart 7.0 Bag Heather/Red/White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true ... and it’s interesting you brought that up because I don’t think a lot of golfers notice that. A good buddy of mine has a bit of a ‘shuffle his feet gait’ ... and he wears the Adidas flat soled golf shoes so that he doesn’t tear up the greens. And I don’t think it’s so much as the soft spikes, as it is more of the little nubs that are causing that.

RoverRick Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 I’m on my third pair of Skechers.
