The only features I really look for in a golf shoe is that they’re extremely comfortable and they have to be waterproof. 
 

I’ve been looking at the ASICS Kayano Ace since that’s the running shoe I wear and I absolutely love them but I’m also intrigued with True Linkswear. Their website lists the following models as waterproof: 

  • Lux Hybrid
  • Original 1.2
  • FS-Tour
  • Lux G
  • Lux Tour 
  • OG Tour

I like the look of the Lux Hybrid and Originals the best but would be interested in everyone’s input and recommendations.

The Original is great. The OG Tour is almost the same. The FS Tour is a narrower shoe if you want that, but it's good too.

Some of the Luxes are good if you don't mind the heel drop.

What is the benefit of the zero drop shoes? 

If you have to ask, it may not matter to you in the least.

You've probably just always bought whatever, and so you may just be fine to keep doing so.

But if you had to pick just one you’d go with the originals?

I would.

I 100% love the zero drop. It puts my feet in a more natural position. To my feeling it makes me "feel" like I'm in a more athletic position. I'm not sure you'll get the same benefit, but I also love the large toe-box offered in the OG styles. Like a lot of the older guys on this forum, I've had my share of foot issues. (Plantar Fasciitis, Morton's Neuroma, etc...) The OG's seem to help all of these issues. 

I have been playing golf since we wore metal spikes. I've tried lots of shoes. I can tell you without hesitation that the True Linkswear OG's are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I now only wear the True Linkswear OG styles. 

One of the very few golf products I rave about to the point where somebody may assume I'm biased and/or being paid a commission or something. But I like them that much. I'm a raving fan.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Yea I’m the same way. All their shoes are pretty good but I just like the OG and their derivatives so much more. I’m probably just going to stick with them from now on.

I wear minimalist zero drop shoes daily. Really helped my ankle strength and balance. I hardly ever sprain my ankles anymore (been years). Truelinks are my go to golf shoe. I like their Knits as a daily shoe.

      Washing my hands in a sink that was a little bit too low for me and my back seized up. Weeks of PT and muscle relaxers later I could get out of bed in less than 10 minutes again.

      This is what I thought.  This came off as someone making up phrases or words to sound impressive than actually speaking correctly about how the body works. Any search for Spiral Lines just seems to come from alternative medicine and not actual good science websites. Like, if I search spiral lines at Cleveland clinic, I get stuff about bone fractures.  When he started going on spiral lines, I was checking out of the video.  I do not think any sort of motion can 100% get rid of the chance of back injury. We are bending over slightly and torquing the body at a high rate of speed. Over and over again. It is common for golfers to have degenerative discs. Then you are just asking for the moment where a nerve to get pinched and there goes the back. I take it as an acceptable risk to play this sport. This past year has been the best year in terms of back issues for me (zero). I attribute a lot of that with doing more with my arms (shallowing), than using my body.  Opening the lower freezer door of my fridge. Leaning over to tie a show. Sneezing. And a few other ways.  God getting old sucks 😛
