When the UPS guy finally dropped them by on Friday, I headed straight for the course.<\/p>\n<p>The shoes are sexy, and I&#8217;m not one to throw that word around lightly. They&#8217;re stylish, they&#8217;re modern, and they&#8217;re dressy all at the same time. The rich mahogany tone (also available in black or white) coordinates well with darker browns.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;m going to give the shoes a little more time before passing judgment, but a bit more padding and bigger laces wouldn&#8217;t have hurt. Instead, the blisters did.<\/p>\n<p>Expect a full review in the next two weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Adidas Tour Metal &#8211; a sexy shoe that causes some rather un-sexy side effects?
