Any recommendations on a good comfortable pair of golf shoes I could use when walking 18 holes?

Gentleman working at Golfsmith told me I should stay away from the newer high priced models. His theory was that in an effort to get your feet as close to the ground (while in shoe) as possible, golf shoe manufactures have minimized the cushioning within the shoe.

Your thoughts?

He might be right. I have an old pair of nikes that are the most comfortable golf shoe I have ever worn. I have many new pair of shoes, all different brands, and I always go back to that pair. I would definitely make sure you try on the shoes before you buy, and if you are the least bit uncomfortable, scrap them.

I wear Puma PG GTXs when walking, these are the only shoes that are still comfortable to me at the end of walking 18 holes. They are hard to find and I believe these are no longer current, it looks like the PG Symetry has replaced them, but if they fit you feet they are awesome. I have some Puma Concordes also, they are fine if I ride but after nine holes of walking my feet are sore and I'm switching shoes.

I have some Ecco flextors I love, I really like my Addida tour 360 - they are bit heavy for summer wear as they are built like trucks, but great for winter as they are very water proof.

You won't get much info about comfort over the net, as each foot is different. We can let you know about quality though - find a few contenders and then post about them

My Adidas ADComfort shoes are great. Even after walking 18 my feet are tired just from the walking, but not sore at all.

I have a pair of FJ Contours and they are like butter on my feet. They are so comfortable I looked for a pair of shoes that would have more support. So I got a pair of FJ ReelFit and they are very nice but have a little too much arch for my feet. I could not walk a course in them. I do like the sole and firm platform of the ReelFits.

The Nike and Adidas shoes that look like running shoes are real comfortable, and look good with shorts (although it is almost winter now, I realize). The don't offer quite as much support, but I don't find that my game really needs a whole lot of extra stability around my feet.

Most performance shoes like the Adidas Tour 360 and the Nike TW series and the Footjoy SYNRG have hard-ish TPU plastic bottoms that offer good stability during the swing but aren't very squishy or comfortable. However they do look good :)

I like my Footjoys. They are nothing fancy, just Greenjoys but they are the most comfortable pair of shoes Ive ever owned.

I replace the inside lining of my golf shoe and replace them with Superfeet. My next purchase will be New Balance golf shoes.

+1 for the FJ Contours. I have a pair that is quite a few years old (Didn't play much golf the past few years) and they are extremely comfortable. Good support too. Just about time to get another pair, now that I think about it.

Definitely FootJoy Dryjoys - a lot depends though on the shape of your foot. Don't buy shoes you haven't tried on at the store...happy shopping.

Nike has some good shoes in the Air Tour Sport model. On sale some places for about $85.

If you have somewhat narrow feet , the M width will still give you a good fit. Also, the lacing allows you to work each eyelet so you get a decent fit on the foot.

Shoes are fairly lightweight but NOT flimsy. They are leather with a running shoe look and have good support.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I have some Nikes that I paid like $65 for. Not good if you need waterproof, but here in Southern California that's rarely a problem. I tried about a dozen pairs on while shopping for these and found these to be the most comfortable for me, even compared with more expensive options. The fit is like a tennis or running shoe rather than like a dress shoe; I could not stand the dress/saddle shoe type at all.

Most comfortable shoes I've owned: Dexter Golf Mocs--can't find them anywhere these days.

Almost as comfortable--Oakley Overdrive laceless golf shoe--can still find these on the internet.

Unfortunately, Dexter got out of the golf shoe business. The Nikes I mentioned earlier replace a pair of Dexter oxford golf shoes. The Dexters have about 2.5 more rounds in them before they fall apart.

Like Nike, the Dexter medium would fit a person of narrow foot like me.

    • 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.

    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • 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.
