I've gone through pairs of Footjoys and Nikes and a pair of Etonics but i can't find a comfortable pair of shoes....

They all hurt the shit out of my feet......there some less-known brands i can turn to??? it seems like all the major brands are all the same

there aren't any

4/4/2007 12:28:16 AM

Eccos

FTW.

They are really comfortable.

4/4/2007 12:31:04 AM

EDIT: holy shit, i checked out the prices on ECCO's.......

ive always like addidas golf shoes, although my last pairs were those old school ones, the ones that stewart appleby still wears....bad thing is i think they quit making that style, but i thought those were always comfortable

4/4/2007 12:37:00 AM

^^Yeah Ecco's are pricey. They are water-proof and guaranteed for 1 or 2 years.

They are the only pair I have had in the last 4 years or so. They are worth it if you are an avid golfer.

try adidas

4/4/2007 1:16:15 AM

golf shoes are one of the things that it pays to use a more expensive shoe

they really are more comfortable

4/4/2007 5:34:03 AM

^agreed.

4/4/2007 7:51:11 AM

i have some nike shoes. they arent your slick looking ones. they are the tennis shoe looking golf shoes.

im talkin real comfy here.

4/4/2007 8:17:57 AM

yeah the tennis shoe style golf shoe are very comfy

4/4/2007 11:11:50 AM

i don't even own a pair. i just wear my cross trainers out on the course. how much of a difference does it make?

4/4/2007 1:11:58 PM

golf shoes are meant to help you keep your grip on sometimes wet or steep landscapes

thats why you don't wear your cross trainers

4/4/2007 1:23:45 PM

I think it makes a big difference...especially is sand, or on the teebox - keeping your feet stable is priority numero uno

4/4/2007 1:33:10 PM

The more money you spend the more comfortable they will be...trust me on this one. They last a long time. I spend about 100 bucks on golf shoes every 2.5-3 years but I get killer deals and they are probably more expensive than that. Its worth every penny to me though...but I also play over 65 times a year...maybe more.

4/4/2007 1:58:22 PM

the biggest thing spikes help in my opinion is in rain..in the pinestraw... and from fairway bunkers

4/4/2007 2:57:20 PM

i have a pair of nike golf shoes that look and feel like regular tennis shoes........if u r looking for comfort these kinds are it...........if ur looking to have the appearance of a golf pro........these are not it

4/4/2007 3:05:53 PM

btw DRYJOYS are great if you can get a pair for a decent price.

4/4/2007 3:06:08 PM

FJ e-comfort or contour series.

they offer the contour in the MyJoys so you can customize them. http://www.footjoy.com/myjoys/Default.asp?bhcp=1

4/4/2007 4:19:33 PM

ok, recommend a good place to buy/look at shoes then

i'd obviously really prefer to try them on, so no internet

i've always bought my shoes from golf shops in the past.......

4/4/2007 4:46:59 PM

Footjoy Contours are the best I've come across. They made a sneaker version of them that were ungodly comfortable (an real leather with a 2 year warranty).

4/4/2007 4:56:58 PM

it seems like the more expensive the golf shoes are that i buy, the more comfortable they are.

the footjoy softjoys have been the best i have ever had (and i've been playing golf for 15 years)

4/4/2007 5:10:53 PM

Mine were pretty cheap, but I've got a pair of Foot Joy Green Joys and they are comfortable to me

go to golf galaxy or anywhere else, try on the contours. if they are comfortable, which i and most others think they are, go home and customize your own pair of myjoys because the stock styles arent that great.

4/4/2007 6:18:07 PM

i wear my new balances at knightsplay a lot. and i also wear my golf shoes. the NBs are soft side walls and you move around more. (well, i dont tie the laces, maybe that explains it)

but the nike golf shoes are pretty stable

4/4/2007 7:38:41 PM

One of my goals this summer is to get out and play golf. I do the range, but I think I can no longer get any better without playing...
