Golf2Much Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Interesting survey. I typically rotate my golf shoes between three brands which include spiked and spikeless as well as classical tied and BOA. I used my favorite (Adidas ZG23 BOA) for the survey.

Barry56 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 For those of us with wide (4E) feet, width is a must. No other attribute matters if the shoe doesn’t fit comfortably. Golf2Much, Dan1993, GolfSpy_SHARK and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack B. Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 This survey was a little restrictive in its parameters. I currently wear 2 brands, FootJoy and adidas, depending upon conditions. Comfort is the major criteria for my choice of footwear, but waterproof, width and cleat pattern, along with color are options I look for. I have also worn Skechers and they have performed well for me. GolfSpy_SHARK, Steve F, brogies and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJ Hall Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Had to select “other” for a couple items since I don’t stick to one brand. For me, it’s a spiked shoe all the way.

daniel__tg Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I've got a few different pairs from different brands and type (spiked vs spikeless), but I often find myself always going to my spiked Footjoys first. I've slipped in a swing with spikeless shoes more times than I'd like to admit, where I've only had that happen maybe once in spiked shoes. Aside from absolutely losing my swing form when I slip, I'd also prefer not to tear my ACL or something of that nature because I slipped on a golf swing lol. Still, you can't beat the convenience and comfort of spikeless shoes if you're going anywhere besides the course and don't want to bring a second pair of normal shoes.

arodrig29 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 For me, if it isn’t comfortable, I am simply not wearing it. Regardless of the promise of better traction or longer distance. The transition from back swing to follow through in my swing isn’t very aggressive. Meaning I don’t need a ton of traction, but comfort is a must. I wear these Ecco Biom now and I probably will not change anytime soon.

Huse343 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 For me, spiked shoes are the only option. I have a relatively fast swing speed/transition, so traction and stability is paramount. As others have mentioned, when I used to wear spikeless shoes I would slip on nearly every swing. Wearing a shoe that has tough and hard spikes, not metal, has been a huge help in my consistency. If the courses I played allowed metal spikes, I would wear them.

MaxEntropy Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) I feel like some of the answers should have allowed for multiple choices. I primarily wear Adidas spiked, but also have Puma spikeless when I don't have to worry about whether my shoes are waterproof. I have become a bit of an Adidas homer. Between golf, pickleball, and "daily use", I have 5 pairs of Adidas I currently wear - they just fit my feet very well. I am also very skeptical of a golf shoe promising extra distance. All major brands seem to have good traction and are reasonably stable - I would think ability to generate ground force would be driven by those things and I don't see a ton of room for improvement. Prove me wrong!

MIGregB Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 It does seem as though the survey skews toward a certain brand as @russtopherb suggests. But if I'm correct, that brand isn't the one I gravitate toward because of the purported gains, it's because I have funky toes and they provide excellent room & comfort while being a highly stable shoe.

JAFERD Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) I walk a hilly golf course 90+% of my rounds. Comfort is super important with stability being a distant second. For frequent riders out there, how important is comfort to you? Seems it wouldn’t be a priority and I’m curious if my preconceived notion is correct.

jayyarr Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I wish there was the ability to select multiple options haha. I have 3 pairs that I rotate based off conditions. I have a spike pair of pumas that are waterproof for wet rounds. a pair of spikeless from Travis Matthew for dry walking rounds and a pair of spikeless Jordan's when I take a cart.

sman3115 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Definitely agree we could've offered more detailed responses. I also use mulitple pairs and try to keep my most waterproof shoes for when its really wet. So I have different criteria based on what my intended use is for just the one question about a shoe promising more distance seems kind of loaded... foreshadowing of a testing opportunit perhaps?

Dragon3 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 The landscape is evolving with innovative concepts. So will be interesting how it unfolds. I completed the survey. There were additional shoes, however multiple responses were not allowed therefore, I selected one that was. Hope you get a good sampling from those completed to date. GolfSpy_SHARK 1 Quote a.
