Golf Shoes - Meandering Thoughts and Questions

[jefkve]

I've had a set of sketchers that I've been using for a couple of years and absolutely loved them. Just picked up a new set from Costco, and not entirely sold on them yet....Newer spiked sole is leading me to believe that they wont be as comfortable for walking, but to early to say just yet. I've worn FJ in the past, but the sketchers were SO comfortable that I haven't looked back...

I've been sporting New Balance shoes for several years now.
I play many rounds each year and rotate shoes pending on course conditions.
When it's wet, I'll wear the spiked shoes and wear the spikeless ones on days when the course is not sloppy.
I'll buy a couple new pairsduring the winter when they are on sale and rotate the older ones for winter play
Then I'll wear the older ones around the house when doing odd jobs before they hit the trash can.
Most new golf shoes can be worn as casual wear when out and about.

Believe it or not, I think I have more golf shoes than my wife 🙂
For years she would buy shoes and only wear them a couple of times because they hurt her feet.
I would just roll my eyes and would say "thoses look nice with your new outfit" 🙂

I currently have 6 pairs that I rotate thru.   That probably seems excessive but I do a lot of running/walking and my feet hurt so I try and mitigate that.   Two are only for dry conditions.  One because it’s mesh and the other because they are 7 years old but really comfortable (FJ M series).  Two are largely winter only for SC.  Linkswear and FJ pro tours which have really good water proofing.  And the last two are a pair of FJ sandals and a pair of Pumas.  The pumas are really old but we’re in a box I didn’t open for years after I moved so still in good shape.
