The current pair of Footjoys I have are too used up as I walk 90% of the time and didn't last more than a season before looking "old". Because of this, I don't think it is fair to spend $180 plus for low profile golf shoes that don't have the twist off spikes. Men's size 13, preferr black or deep brown. Any suggestions? Thanks for all of your help in advance.

I don't know what you mean by low profile, nor do I know what kind of spikes you are referring to.  For less than $60 you aren't going to find much except the athletic style shoes.  And every cleat or spike I've ever seen is twist or screw type.  The ones on my 2 pairs of Footjoys are the type I prefer.  Last time I checked, the Footjoy Contours were less than $180 (they were still around $100), but that was a few years ago.

I think by low profile he means either the Taylor Made shoes that are designed to keep you lower to the ground, or he means the spikeless shoes. He could also mean spikeless shoes when he says "shoes that don't have the twist off spikes." But no, I don't have any suggestions for cheap shoes.

Yes, I mean the shoes that keep you close to the ground (low profile) and yes I mean Spikeless (shoes that don't have removable spikes, instead they have "knobs" for traction). I tried searching for spikeless shoes and buying them online but when they arrived, they had the standard removable spikes. Sorry that I was not clear enough in my initial description.

These Nikes are kinda close. They do have a few spikes, not not your typical spike pattern. And they are not super pricey. I have a pair and really enjoy them. Nike Air Rate:

Thanks Ben, but those shoes are not low enough to the ground for me. I discovered the true spikeless by accident because I was looking for a waterproof shoe and was amazed at how I started striking the ball better.

No I haven't tried them on yet. I suppose I should try them on before being convinced that they are not as low to the ground as I wish them to be. The second I saw those twist off spikes, I "knew" that they had to be too high off of the ground. In all fairness I will try them on to see how they are.

I wasn't going to say it, but.....  They're talking about maybe a quarter inch at most, aren't they?

I have the Sketcher Bobcat shoes and love the traction.  I wear them every day and they are great for golf in dry conditions (not water proof)

Unfortunately, they are getting more and more difficult to find.

I am currently also looking at the Adidas Kanadia Trail running shoes--they are more widely available and look like they have good traction for golf.   The Kanadia Trail shoes have been around for a while, the older models can easily be found for less than $60.

I will take a look at those too. You are right about wet and dry play. I had forgotten that the shoes I am trying to replace are water-resistent (not waterproof but does a very good job of keeping my feet dry). I heard from someone on this site that shoes can be water-proofed after purchase.

    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
