Middler Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Just for fun, it seems spikeless continue to gain converts - me for one after decades spikes only. I only wear spikes (FJ DryJoys) if it’s sloppy wet AND I’m in a riding cart. Walking or not sloppy wet, I’m fully converted to spikeless (2 pairs Adidas CodeChaos) It’s amazing how good they’ve become! I get those who’ve never tried spikeless, I wouldn’t consider it until I started walking 18 regularly again. I was wrong about todays spikeless golf shoes, more comfortable and surprising traction IME. I walk in my CodeChaos once or twice a week, there’s no way I could walk 18 in my DryJoys… tdroma98, Bears1 and GregGarner 3 Quote Titleist TSR2 11° HZRDUS Red CB 50 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Titleist TSR2 16.5º HZRDUS Red 60 CB 6.0 & TSR2 21º HZRDUS Black 4G 70 6.0 w Lamkin UTx Midsize Mizuno JPX923 HMP 4-GW, T22 54.12WS, T22 58.04DC w Lamkin ST+2 Hybrid Midsize Evnroll ER5B Fit@TrueSpec w P2 Touch Tour Maxfli Tour & ProV1 Ping Pioneer - MGI Zip Navigator AT Payntr X 002 LE, Ecco Biom C4, FJ DryJoys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnosil Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Always had spiked shoes and have never tried spikeless. Just keep buying what I know and am familiar with. Spikeless could be fine but it will probably be another 5 years before I need another pair of golf shoes.

CarlH Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Most of my golf shoes are spike-less...two pair of Ecco Biom hybrid, a pair of True knit. One pair of FJ Freestyle with spikes. I recently ordered a pair of Squairz with spikes but returned them because of fit. Considering adding a pair of FJ Hyperflex with spikes, instead of the Squairz. In general, I'm okay with spike-less golf shoes (as long as they're actually for golf) but recently thinking that I want to go back with spikes again -- without a real definite reason to do so.

ParFore74x Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I’ve never used spikeless but I am in need of shoes for this year so I am looking at trying them out. It seems that more and more people keep talking about how great they are and I am definitely intrigued.

It doesn't have to be wet or sloppy to slip. I slipped, fell, and broke my arm walking down a steep slope in very dry conditions as the Bermuda grass was dormant. It was much like stepping on ice and I was even wearing spikes at the time.

Rchang Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I’m still spikes. But curious for the spikeless converters, what made you switch and stay switched?

russtopherb Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I'm mostly spikes, I walk a number of courses that have some, shall we say, spotty drainage at points. I find the spikes to give me a much more reliable footing. dobrycki 1 Quote In my carry bag: Mavrik Max 10.5* R Flex Evenflow RipTide Hy-Wood Launcher 5h D7 6i-GW CBX 54* & 58* Huntington Beach #10 e12 Contact CURRENTLY TESTING - Mizuno Long Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyMatt89 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I’ve tried spineless in the past but my foot had a tendency to slip every now and then. I don’t have have slipping issues with spikes. Also the hyperflex boas are as comfortable as any spineless I’ve ever worn. My course is pretty wet at my 2nd tee time off in the morning so I choose spikes 100% and rotate different pairs if I play consecutive days.

DiscipleofPenick Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I've gradually purchased more spikeless shoes, but I still have 2 pairs of spikes. Basically I buy a color/style I'm looking for that affordable, regardless of spike type. I play a lot of morning and it's wet, I've never had traction issues, and I am a bit of an aggressive swinger. If anything I've had an occasional issue in August/September when a course can get burnt out or hardpan. But doesn't happen enough for me to worry about it. bobr3 1 Quote Take Dead Aim Driver: PXG 0211 10.5* Fairway: Titleist 917 F3 15* Hybrid: Adams Idea Pro Boxer Gold 18* Irons: Titleist 714CB 4-PW Wedges: Vokey SM5 & SM6 50/54/58 Putter: SeeMore X2 Costa del Mar Ball: Srixon Z-Star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka44 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Have never tried spikeless. I'm just curious about the wear on the spikeless, "spikes". I tend to keep my shoes for 5-7 years as long as they continue to be in average to good shape. I find it necessary to change spikes almost every (1-1.5) years because of wear. Would spikeless, "spikes" not wear down during that length of time. I'm just not a buy a new pair of golf shoes every other year sort of guy, so I am concerned that spikeless would not last 5-7 or more years I wear my shoes.

They'll last far longer than several sets of spikes under the same walking conditions. As with spikes, cement surfaces will increase the wear and tear on them, but at a far lesser rate of wear. As far as traction, a good pair of golf spike-less shoes will provide good traction....non golf specific shoes, not so much.

Kenny B Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I've moved on from spikes 7 years ago when I changed courses. Spikeless are generally a little lighter in weight and much easier on my feet when I walk. I still have a couple of spiked shoes that I would only wear when riding in a cart, but honestly I haven't worked them in years. I very rarely have an issue with slipping, and more importantly... it's easier to get goose poop off the soles of spikeless shoes. sirchunksalot 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisag Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 16 hours ago, CarlH said: my golf shoes are spike-less...two pair of Ecco Biom hybrid ... Once I saw Freddie Couples playing Ecco Street spike-less shoes (he makes his living playing golf of course so traction is paramount) I switched and never went back. I have 5 pair of Ecco Boom's, 4 I rotate depending on my clothes in black, gray, brown, white and another new white pair in reserve. I never play in the mornings so dew isn't an issue and I wish it would rain here in the desert because it only happens a few times a year so wet ground isn't a problem either.

GolfSpy BOS Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I play all of my rounds in my Adidas spiked shoes, but I do still use my old Foot Joy SLs at the range.

ejgaudette Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I also switched when ECCO started making there entry into spikeless and never went back. I found no loss in stability and way more comfortable. They have lasted a while too. I had my ECCOs for too many years (though I did play much). Then got some NB ones three years ago, and only changed because I was looking for something new and the upper was a bit rough, and I tend to play in the morning. So going with some new FJ this year and looking forward to it.

I posted a picture before but my original white Ecco Bioms would not wear out! They were looking a little ratty but still just as comfortable and with conditioner they were holding up. I had 2 new white pair I picked up on sale but just couldn't get rid of perfectly good shoes, even though they looked past their prime. My save my cart accident back in January had me bleeding on those shoes and I could not get the blood off of them so I finally retired 'em but it took an unnatural act to do so. cnosil, ejgaudette, GaDawg and 1 other 3 1 Quote Cobra 50th Anniversary Member Special Challenge/Testing Bag (Link Here) Driver: Stealth2 HD 10.5* ...

bens197 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I wish the Nike zoom infinity tour had a spikeless option...they're so comfy but the spikes are super aggressive.

ChuckZ Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Just depends on how I feel when I get up in the morning. I am a FJ guy and the only brand I will wear. This is based on over thirty five years of experience with great performance, fit, wear and customer service. Still have a good collection of MyJoy DryJoy tours, MyJoy Icon, which are spiked shoes. The new Premiere and Tradition shoes I have in my rotation are spiked are some of the best FJ has made in years. Do play a lot of rounds in my many Pro/SLs. Waiting on the new Fields in white/red to be released which are spikeless. Find all these styles grip well in all kinds of weather. I have two pair of the Flex XP and five pair of the Flex but do not wear them to play golf in. Some golfers do, but I wear them to work in, for casual wear and on the range. They do have enough grip to play in on a dry sunny day, unless you are trying to swing out of your shoes.
