Golf shoes for people with flat feet

I am in the market for some golf shoes. (My first pair of golf shoes ever) I have flat feet, so I prefer shoes that are more for comfort than for performance. Anyone else out there have flat feet find a pair of shoes that they like? Also, I have a inclination towards Nike apparel if that makes a difference.

I haven't even tried on any golf shoes for the same reason, I have wide flat feet. The golf shoes I've seen look too narrow where the arch is on a normal foot just like running shoes.

Hmmm... I have the TRUE Linkswear shoes and they are very comfortable... however I wouldn't say that I have very flat feet but for some reason I think I've heard that they are comfortable for people who do.  I know they are comfy for people with wider feet but I think I remember hearing flat feet too...

Anyways at least give them a look and if they sell them locally try a pair on.  I know they have removable insoles, so that might help.

Just food for thought, but I'd check out Asics golf line. I recommend Asics running shoes to 80% of the customers who walk through my door just due to quality over Adidas/Nike/New Balance (not that the suck...well most Nike's are garbage, you just have to know what to buy). But their Gel-Ace might be something to look into. I personally wear some Adidas Tour 360 LTD's (nowadays it's called the Adipure) and I don't have any support issues, I've got mid to low arches. If you TRULY have absolutely flat feet, I would recommend really just getting a pair of Asics Gel-Evolution ($120) or Gel-Foundation ($100) shoes and just play in them regardless of traction :/ I don't really know of any golf specific shoe that is specifically designed for us. Even the tour pro's put insoles in theirs.

I posted this in another thread, reposting here:

jswang, I also have somewhat flat feet and they are pretty wide as well.  I usually feel a little too tight on the sides of my feet.  I have been looking for some good golf shoes for some time and found some good Nikes for about $80 at Sport Chalet.  I would say, for your flat feet, perhaps try out a couple of pairs of Adidas and Nike that sacm3bill suggests.

I've seen those Nike Air Range shoes before in store and have tried them out before. They feel VERY Comfortable! I was about to buy them, until I realized that the spikes on the bottom were permanent and that they could not be changed. In your guy's experience, how often do spikes need to be changed? Does that mean that I would need new shoes everytime I need new spikes?

I had that concern with the Air Ranges, but the cleats don't seem to be wearing out as fast as traditional cleats (I've seen others say that too). I do tend to be more careful to only use them on grass than I am with traditional cleats. In the end the comfort outweighs the cost concerns for me.

Thanks! I think I'm going to get a pair of those soon!

Sweet - let us know how they work out. I'm loving mine!
