Initial Impressions of Adidas Tour Metal

The Adidas Tour Metal – a sexy shoe that causes some rather un-sexy side effects? Our first look…

Adidas Tour MetalI’ve been waiting for some time for the Adidas Tour Metals to arrive. When the UPS guy finally dropped them by on Friday, I headed straight for the course.

The shoes are sexy, and I’m not one to throw that word around lightly. They’re stylish, they’re modern, and they’re dressy all at the same time. The rich mahogany tone (also available in black or white) coordinates well with darker browns.

The shoe, unfortunately, is a bit more style over substance than I care for in a golf shoe. The Tour Metal no padding on the tongue, typical short and thin laces, and blistered my heel by about the tenth hole. The leather is supple, flexible, and waterproof, so I’m going to give the shoes a little more time before passing judgment, but a bit more padding and bigger laces wouldn’t have hurt. Instead, the blisters did.

Expect a full review in the next two weeks.

  1. Yeah, they definitely look awesome, but I’m glad I didn’t go with them a month ago when I was getting shoes. It sounds like they look better than they feel.

    I’ll be looking forward to the full review.

  2. of course you got blisters…you never broke the shoes in before you wore them on the course. as a retail golf shoe salesman, i recommend to each and every customer that they remove the spikes and wear their new shoes around the house for at least a day before they take them to the course. even so, perhaps these shoes just aren’t cut well for your feet.

    i’ve worn them for 3 months now, and they are very good shoes on my feet. for the price, these are solid shoes.

  3. I just wore these shoes for the first time today. I played in a snow/rain mix and they kept my feet dry as can be. As for blisters, no pain in my heel at all. (maybe wearing crew socks helped, I don’t know). I barely felt the shoe underneath me while I was walking down the last fairway, just a super comfortable shoe. They also look awesome, so I’m not complaining at all in that area. I would definitely recommend this shoe to anyone out there looking for a comfortable shoe at a reasonable price.
