I've been looking for a pair of gym shoes for a while now. My pair of Sensei shoes have like no tread left on them. I want on a whim and ordered a pair of these shoes,

Your new favorite lightweight minimalist shoe for everything you do -- run, work out, stroll, Crossfit... you name it... Check it out here >

So far, I am very impressed with the shoe. They have a lot of the what made the Sensei shoe great as a non-golf shoe. Very flexible, zero drop, wide in the toe of the shoe, and lightweight. 

Right out of the box I went to the gym, ran on the treadmill and had no issues. 

the only thing now is to wait and see how long they last.

Nice! I’ve always been a fan of Brooks when it came to shoes for hiking and running ( I do much less of both of late). But I like the wide toe area you mentioned in these which is what I always liked with Brooks.

Are there any zero drop shoes with a narrow toe box? My feet slide around in wide boxes.

Try Lems. Primals are great.

P.S. Other than that,  main diff between men's and women's shoes is toe box width..ahem.. cough..hint..cough..sniff. 😋

      I think you're saying it's preposterous to think that the areas on this club are anything like what's shown here: 30mm toward the toe or heel loses only 5% distance? Highly, highly doubtful. So a guy who hits the ball there and normally hits the ball about 250… will hit it instead about 238. By missing the sweet spot by about 1.2 inches? Highly, highly doubtful. Heck, the high heel barely gets into the red, and orange is only "up to" 10%! @M2R, I've never heard of "Ask Golf Nut" but I'm dubious of his claims in the video and really, really dubious of what's on his site: "Why AskGolfNut Is the Most Trusted Data-Driven Golf Resource". Hmmmmmm.

      So the question was posed today by some of my friends.  Is a pitch mark the same as a divot?  I thought NO, but they argued if your ball lands in another player's divot (made by club during a swing) this was the same as a pitch mark, i.e. the ball mark made when the ball lands

      Original definition use to or still is how far offline you hit it. It might be better to think of it as consistency in retaining favorable launch conditions to optimize distance.   That heat map showed a gigantic 0-3% loss in ball speed. That is absurd. The true 100% sweet spot is tiny for all clubs. Good luck telling the difference if the sweet spot is under 3% in a sizable area. Especially considering variation in launch angle, spin, and outdoor weather.
