Well some conditions it doesn't really matter much. I played yesterday, and a lot of the left over grass trimmings, wet, got stuck between the grooves on my spikeless shoe. It wouldn't matter if i had spikes on anyways, the grass would have stuck, in that situation, no way your keeping your balance. I've seen Phil use a tee to clean his cleats he wears before, so its not just a plastic spike, or spikeless shoe problem. The next hole, i forgot to check, and my back foot almost flew out from under neat me. It was a bad swing, but i almost wiffed the ball with the loss of balance. Over swang, poor weight distribution, and clogged up golf shoes.
As for falling, i've slipped on wet grass, and concrete in golf spikes before, so there not all that much safer in certain conditions. I just like spikeless because my feat don't hurt.
