Last year I was looking for a new golf shoe and the Puma Neo Classic ProType caught my eye. Unfortunately the soles split on both shoes after just four/five rounds. Luckily Puma offered to cover them and I received enough to buy the Puma AMP Sport model. I have had them for under a year, I play 40-50 times a year, and the sole has once again failed and water has been soaking the shoe from underneath. With two issues in a row I'll never buy Puma again I am jumping back on the FootJoy train. I will most likely be looking at the new DNA's.

With that said, I walk the majority of my rounds and I was wondering if anyone has any strong recommendations for someone who likes to walk a lot. Also, has anyone ever played with inserts in their golf shoes? I'm exploring that option to add some comfort with how much I walk.

Thanks!

Double ditto on Trues. They're cheap too, both my pairs of Truelinks were under $100. They're golf slippers. Everything you want in a golf shoe, but in a slipper. :-$

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Question re: your DNA's..I noticed they have fairly thick plastic type soles, and I'm wondering, if they are pliable enough that they will bend, unlike walking with a 2X4 strapped to the bottom of your foot. I'm also looking at the Dryjoy Pro BOA.

They absolutely do!!! You barely notice them on your feet. The real thick part is under your heel it gets thin toward your toe . I walk 150 rounds a year and this is my new shoe forever. You get the comfort of a spikeless shoe with the traction of a spike. And they look good while doing it (spikeless just look sloppy if you ask me)

Good to know that they are comfortable! Maybe it's me being stubborn but I am not a fan of a spike less shoe. I'll be heading down to Myrtle Beach next weekend and I am hoping to pick up a new pair soon! Thanks for the feedback!

My last pair of Ecco's were spikeless and very comfortable. Noticed slipping on wet condition. But I think the look is a little sloppy. Bit DNA's are the best of both worlds

I personally have never worn spikeless shoes. I have a friend that recently converted to a Footjoy spikeless and he likes them. I do notice that every now and then he does slip a little if it's wet or if he has an uneven lie.

I wear Truelinkswear and never had one issue with slipping. I've worn spiked golf shoes and slipped in those before. Sometimes I think slipping has more to do with an unbalanced golf swing than it does with what type of shoes.

I would agree that some slipping can be caused by an unbalanced swing but I've always been a little more comfortable with spiked shoes. I have had my DNA's for a little over two weeks and I absolutely love them. I have the all white shoe and I might even add another color (red) or the all black option.

I'll add another vote for FJ Contours. I can get some bad plantar fascia pain in my left foot arch when on my feet for long periods of time, but never once in my Contours. I almost always walk, and never had one issue. Plus they last. I have 100+ rounds in one of my pairs (I rotate two) and they are still holding up fine.

I tried the Contour Casual and did not find them anywhere near as comfortable.

My dad has worn his contours for over 18 months and he LOVES them. He has never had a bad thing to say about them.

I've always worn FootJoy DryJoys because I like that they are waterproof.  However I'm not always crazy about the style.  I'm looking to get a new pair of shoes and I'm wondering why it seems no other brands produce a waterproof shoe.  It seems to me that it would be a good selling point especially when trying to get Dryjoy wearers to switch brands.  Does anyone know of waterproof golf shoes made by anyone other than FootJoy?

      Favorite Las Vegas Course

      By Maroon88 ·

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By DeadMan ·

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
