i have a pair of Adidas Powerband 3.0's that are by far my favorite golf shoes i've ever worn. I've worn Nike, Footjoy, Ecco, etc but I really can't complain about these Adidas...other than the relatively high price tag.

I have 2 pairs of shoes. 1 is Adidas which I like but they are narrow. 2 is Footjoy Contours that are very comfortable and stay dry regardless of how much it rains. You can get the Contours cheap at a number of retailers right now.

Its important to be able to keep your feet stable through a swing. If your feet are slipping around left and right, then it can potentially mess up your swing. I'm talking even the slightest movement in your foot positioning.

Golf shoes have plastic spikes on the bottom (or some other kind of way to increase traction) that keeps your feet from slipping, thus you can really plant your feet down through the swing. I personally can't golf without proper golf shoes on. I hate going to the range without golf shoes on, I need that added assurance to keep my feet from moving even an inch. If you live int he Pacific NW or anywhere where you get rain (You're in WA) then you know how wet and slippery the grass is throughout the day.

Golf shoes are also considerably more comfortable.

Footjoy Greenjoys would be a good option because they are a/good shoes b/very cheap. They'd be a big step up over 10 year old shoes.

Makes me wonder then how much my feet move when I swing in my regular shoes... I guess the good thing is I was planing on getting some over the 4th.

Thanks for answering my question and I too will keep those shoes in mind for my purchase.

Another vote for the Adidas Powerband 3.0/Tour 360 shoes. I've had several pairs of Nikes and Foot Joys; I like the footbed, traction and support of the Adidas best so far.

You'll pay quite a bit for the latest Adidas Powerband 3.0, but you might be able to find their earlier model for far less, say around $80-100. I've had a pair for almost 2 years (50 rounds or so) and they still fit nice. Footjoys are also good, they just don't fit me as well.

yea I saw the price of them, wow, they better be nice,lol. Most of the name brand golf shoes like addidas, nike and puma throw huge prices on their golf shoes which sucks. Most are about 150-200

In my experience, Adidas tour 360s are super comfortable but poorly made. The positive is that you wear them for a year and then get them replaced because the sole has fallen off. The Powerbands are quite comfortable, but again, they are pooorly made.
Callaway are garbage.
Eccos are incredibly comfortale and sturdy. I own five pairs of Eccos and they are fantastic.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 4zim ·

      Day 54. Was in a good place last week. Yesterday’s round killed my confidence.  Full swing practice trying to get back to where I was but struggled with being tired and tense. Back to basics tomorrow.

      Welcome back! Evolvr.com? I don't use the full extreme end of it, and that's probably dipped to 75% or so nowadays. But I use the sole more than I don't, yeah. Also… it's good to learn this shot: Middle up. Not generally outside your feet in either direction. I generally have it slightly forward of center, yeah. Short version: tip your upper body in the direction of the slope. Look at the GC3. You can find them for really good prices sometimes.

      Day 3:  I tried to hit a bucket at the range but an 80 year old man (he told me his age, showed me his knee replacement scars, told me all about his chronic low back pain, etc) couldn’t pass up the opportunity to mansplain to me every little thing I’m doing wrong.  Dude, it’s my third frickin day.  I know I need to twist my hips more, I know I need to keep my head/chest down and not pop up, I know I need to hit through the ball and follow through further, yada yada yada.  I know.  That’s exactly what I’m trying to work on.  How about you tell me or show me how to do those things instead of telling me to watch Iron Byron videos?  Rough day.
