Shoe size


Christof

Recommended Posts

Hello

Are golf shoes also taken a 1 size bigger than regular shoes? In regular shoes I have 39-39.5 in my running and cycling shoes I take 1 size bigger. Is this also necessary in golf shoes? Now golfing cannot be compared to running or other intensive sports.

I haven't found that to be the case.  I wear the same size shoe as my street shoes and athletic shoes.

I take a US 9.5 in regular shoes, I feel best with a US 10 in golf shoes.  I have no idea why.

Shoe size may vary depending on the brand and model. Most of my shoes are a size 9 (us), but, my Ecco Biom 3 Hybrids are a size 42 - 8/8.5.  My Footjoy and Adidas golf shoes are a size 9. I don't size up in my golf shoes, unless the shoe model requires it - ie. my regular size is too small.

No dogs, no hunting.  Half size larger usually works.  

Oké Thanks

Yes, in Belgium in sports shoes they always take 1 size bigger, say then the athlete does not meet his toes from the front against his shoes during sports.

Okay clearly explained, then in future I take in Adidas same size, I find now I still have too much space in my shoes, my feet the R-foot is 24cm and L-foot is 24.5cm, my Adidassen are 25cm, left goes though is still room, right there is plenty of room.
I was told that you have to take the soles out of the shoe and then stand on them to see how much room you have, that would be the right size for the shoe. There is something to that, if you buy shoes online, you can't fit them.

I still play with the Adidas spikeles shoe is still reasonably warm here, for winter the one by Inesis. If grass is wet, I do a good golf swing then slide away. I thought maybe and buy spiked golf shoes should not be a new model, for is to feel what the difference is, I don't know that much difference makes either worth buying for spiked golf shoes, where I play most wear spikeless golf shoe.

In general, I prefer spikeless, and, do not have issues with slipping, but, those are my preferences, and, you may not share those same preferences.

For the wet season (fall/winter), I bought a pair of Adidas S2G mid-cuts, which, have spikes. I wanted a more high top type shoe as the golf courses (here) can get quite soggy. The S2G mid-cuts are a wide fit shoe, which, will allow me to wear thicker socks for the colder weather.

As for your shoe size, you need to go with what fits you. For me, a shoe fits, if I can get a finger behind the back of my foot with my feet jammed as far forward in the shoe as possible - this is assuming the last of the shoe is compatible with my foot shape.

Many years ago I took a size 10 1/2 or 11 in all types of shoes. When I retired almost 17 years ago I began to play more golf and walked my rounds. I began to notice discomfort in my toes in a couple of years. And moved up to 11 1/2. Now I am up to a 12.

As we age, our arches break down and our feet actually get bigger. It becomes most apparent in activities where we walk alot. Like golf. Just chalk it up to aging.

I always thought this was like when women's clothes designers created the Size 0 to make women feel like they came down a dress size. Shoe manufacturers have simply added a 1/2 size to make men with small feet feel better about their masculinity. 

 

P.s. - I used to wear a size 9.5 and now wear a 10-10.5. Yeah baby!!

I've only found that in some brands, for example most brands I wear the same size whether it's street, golf or cycling. But Nike is always off for me so I just stick with the brands that I know will work. I do the same with clothing, some companies shirt sizes are way off compared to others so I just stick to certain brands.

Hello Bellken

Slipping, at the golf club say I have very powerful or explosive golf swing. Maybe with that I slip on wet surfaces.

I had the adidas S2G Spikeless summer shoes, I played with them for 1 summer the cushioning or Bounce Foam was completely gone especially at the back at the heels, I sagged all the way through. Was not a success.

Shoe size, putting finger in the back of the shoe, I had as heard of at ski boots, that is done, already heard of it. Might try it next time.

In Belgium it gets colder, I can put on the Inesis shoes then is see what that gives have very different profile than the Adidas.

Hello Everardo

Here in Belgium, sports shoes are always 1 size bigger than regular shoes. If you go to a sports shop they ask what is your shoe size in normal shoe then they go and get shoes, then you try on some and take the one that fits best.
I do the same with clothes, the sizes are not the same everywhere.
If I have to choose between Adidas or Nike it will be Adidas, I have never had Nike on, when I was in athletics Nike were very narrow shoe and Adidas were not. Also part to do with past when I played football and am also supporter of Club Brugge who played then with Adidas and Nike is the big competitor, Adidas has been my brand for a very long time. Either you are Adidas or Nike man.

I prefer all my shoes to fit tight.  The front of my foot is wide while having a narrow heel.  With an 11.5 Adidas my feet feel locked in at the heel, 1/4" or less from toes to front of shoe with sides stretching.  Rarely find another brand that fits properly for me.

Much easier for dress shoes where better companies have multiple lasts available.  Once you find the lasts that fit it is easy to order safely.

Hey ED13

OK, when I was very young and played football and athletics, Adidas was my brand, over the years I have started running on my own and other sports I have had different brands. Golf is quite new, in Belgium golf equipment and clothing is amazingly expensive compared to online and in united kingdom. I have had some reactions in the meantime, most of them take half a size bigger or the same size as in their normal shoes.

I didn't know about dress shoes but that's not my style.
