@iacas thoughts on the Knit II?

Very comfortable shoe but, I am not a favor of the high back. It will take my lower ankle time to adjust. I am not sure I would wear them golfing or at least not 18. 

Overall super comfortable and good looking. I just don’t like the higher back as it can irritate the back of my ankles if wearing low socks.

The Original still is the Champ in my eyes.

The Original is a very good shoe. Not the best in hot weather, as it can get a little sweaty (that's just logical - if you want a waterproof leather shoe).

And of the Knits, the original is a very good shoe, too.

I see what you mean about the higher back, but it's pretty soft IMO. Do you wear a sock that goes up that high, or is it rubbing skin? I don't like a high back, either, but if I'm being specific I don't like a high back that's more solid or firmer. These are like socks, very "huggy" without digging in or rubbing much.

The Knits are some of my favorite shoes. I wear them everywhere. Teaching. Playing, when it's at least half dry. Errands. Going out to do anything. They're the first shoe I grab, and the only shoes that I generally have inside the house. The old Knit "I" models will likely be relegated strictly to errand shoes, though, or teaching maybe, as I've worn the tread away.

These are the replacements, in spirit, for the original Sensei shoes, which I also loved. Perhaps even more than the Tours.

For golf, the Originals win. For everything, the Knits and the Knit Its win, for me, hands down.

Funny you say that, I wore them during a summer round, thought the waterproofing was crap, it wasn’t. My feet were sweating that much.

As for the Knit II, i wear a real low cut sock. Very comfortable shoe. I wear to the office and errands. Got them during Christmas so no golf in them.

The small stitching in the back pull rubs my lower ankle.

I get a little of the rubbing from the LUX Knits, but there's an actual "bump" in those shoes.

A friendly email from the good people at True.  The side profile of the shoe in the email looks like a new knit. Of course they didn’t say so. 53EA8A32-F550-44CE-A27A-4F6DC159C230.thumb.png.de0324b9b1ac362d34ce19527e089205.png

No. Just the teaser banner. Any feedback on these yet? Looks like they addresses the heel rub from prior ii’s. New treads also.

    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
