Fair enough

Stay away from the Puma Ignites. I generally like pumas for general casual wear, so I got a pair for golf and the fabric on the heel inside wore out after about 6 months. They're pretty snug, probably doesn't help (comfortably so, I never had an issue walking in them, but definitely a little work involved in getting them on).

 

I saw a review for them when I got them that said this happens, but hey, it's just an online review, that won't happen to me! whoops. Definitely going to stick to the FJs or adidas this season.

 

Side note, anyone have thoughts on if the BOA systems are worth the extra cost? I walk 90% of the time.

I have worn Footjoy for years but the Skechers Arch Fit are what I wear now.  Very comfortable and seems like they will hold up.

Had my 1st round in my new FJ Tour-X and they were very comfortable with plenty of grip too. A bit 'techy' looking but, in black which I have, quite subtle looking.

If you walk, I highly recommend the ASICS Gel Course Duo. Most comfortable golf shoe I have ever worn. 

I tried on a pair of Asics the other day and they were VERY comfortable, but the issue is they were cloth/nylon and reviews say they get dirty very quickly. Ugh. Aggravating because I want those so badly!!!

I’m right there with you! Also, 8 more yards… Whatever.

I have wide feet and walk everytime and I find FJ ProSl the most comfortable shoe I have ever worn and they provide unbelievable grip in wet/muddy conditions. In fact I just bought a new pair.

It was very hard for me to find good shoes for playing golf, but I was able to do it.

I learned a long time ago to stick with Footjoy DryJoys. They always fit correctly, never leak, hold up good to the elements and are very comfortable. I'm old school and would still wear metal spikes if allowed. I've got three pair of DryJoys Tour that I rotate depending upon what I'm wearing on a particular day. I usually buy the previous year's model at a discount. The Tour-S DryJoys are quite stylish also.

Just got the Puma PROADAPT ALPHACAT Disc Golf Shoes.  They are super comfortable (I walk 95% of the time) and I love the disc closure system.

When I started playing golf in 98, I bought a pair of FJ DryJoy athletics. Nice shoe, reasonably priced, lasted about 5-6 years, and my feet stared getting wet from dew on fairways, seams started to give. Bought the FJ Contours. That shoe was like putting on a pair of slippers the first time, but gave great support. Wore them until 2 seasons ago, when the insert for one of the cleats let loose when trying to change the cleats. Well, not good. Ended up Super Glueing the insert, along with cleat in that shoe. Wore them for a couple of rounds, bought a new pair of FJ Originals. Wanted another pair of Contours, but they were discontinued. So, the Original is a dress type shoe, as I don't like the athletic type shoes they now have, with the mesh tops and all. Want my feet to be dry on wet fairways, and my feet to stay clean. That mesh lets in dust, right through my socks, not to mention getting wet. Very comfortable shoe. No real break-in to mention. Going to buy another pair soon, before they discontinue this model. I should have shoes enough well into retirement...

I prefer to wear fj classics, but if I’m walking 18 I wear the fj premier shoe. I also have an older pair of dryjoys for when it’s really bad weather out and I know my shoes are getting soaked. 
 

The premiers are as stable of a shoe as you can get from any of the big shoes brands, and they are definitely lighter than the old style classics. I also like the dryjoy shoe if they still make them. Both solid choices if you are looking for a more traditional style shoe vs the athletic sneaker style.

I have a pair of the Adidas CODECHAOS sport spikeless and Callaway Coronado v2 spikeless. I'd recommend both

[WaffleHouseTour]

I’ve tried everything over Thea years and for a long time the spineless Ecco’s were my favorite. 
 

but I’ve been hooked on Decathalon/Inesis Waterproof Grip. Actually have three pairs.
 

I walk early in the morning so has to be waterproof. I’m an over pronation in my step so I need real stability. And these things are velcroed to the turf at a price that can’t be beat.

I wanted to be comfortable and stylish so I found these and added them to my Jordan 3's. So far its been fantastic played a couple rounds and hit the range once. So far no issues.

Great grip - I played with them the other day. Don't know how waterproof they are - at least initially I'll play with them in  late morning and  afternoon games.

Adidas have been the best for me over the years.  I like the boost technology, makes for a very comfortable walk for 18 holes.  Have been wearing spiked and spikeless Tour 360's for the last few years.  Good shoes as long as they have leather in the heel.

Ordered a pair of this seasons CodeChaos in all black but had to return, first time I have found an Adidas shoe too tight for me to wear.  Still wanted an extra spikeless shoe and picked up a pair of Rebelcross.  Using them for indoor practice, so far very happy with them.

Picked up a pair of Duca Del Cosmo and will see how I like them this season.  Tried Ecco spikeless and Ok for comfort but I rarely wear them.  Have a pair of Footjoy Icon hardly worn as I found them a bit too tight.

Apparently this is what I am getting for Christmas although i don't know what as of yet. Either way I am excited to see! I have Footjoy right now, but may look at sketchers next if I had the choice.
