Hey everyone I'm looking to do a shoe upgrade because I'm not overly happy with what I have now. So I've pretty much narrowed it down to either the Adidas Tour 360 LTD or the Nike Air Tour TW 8.5.

The Adidas I have a great deal on and the Nike's can be had pretty cheap these days so is anyone have any input? Or better yet has anyone actually played a round in both?

And to everyone who is bound to yell "Try Ecco!" well I have and they flat out don't fit my oddly shaped foot =)

Try Ecco....Just kidding. Go with whatever feels the best. I am a golf shoe *****, but I only have FJ and 1 pair of adidas. 8 pairs total, but I just love the feel of FJ. Everyone is different. Go with the most for comfort.

What pair of Adidas do you have? And what are you thoughts on them?

I have the Tour 360s and like them, but I also have a pair of Nike SP-5s and they're fine. Just put them on and see which are more comfortable. That'll answer your question, right? ;)

FWIW I currently have a pair of the Nike Air Zoom Elite and I love them. TGW has the Nike TW SP8s for 99 bucks but I think the colors are limited.

I have 360's and 360 2's - very nice shoe, comfort and class look. Only wore Nike's once, don't like the look of them to be honest. I only buy fooyjoy and adidas really, Ecco's ruined my feet (in normal shoes)

I love my Nike SP-5s. The first couple of rounds they are a bit harsh but once broken in, they're extremely comfortable. A bonus is that they can be had for around $50.00.

Take a look at the Hi-Tec Super Power Pro shoes. I have two pair and they are the most comfortable shoes that I own.

I love my Nike Air Tour TW 8.5's, they feel so comfortable on, and I just love playing with them, and I love how they look too, just my preference though , but don't forget to always get what feels and looks best...

Go for Adidas 360 LTD. They look elegant like dress shoes, but only golf course is the dance floor. I currently have Tour 360 II and they're comfortable throughout 18 holes. I expect no less in 360 LTD (Black color with 3 white stripes coming in this July).

Footjoys are great, Titleist makes a hell-of-a-shoe

I wear Nikes. They're affordable and pretty comfortable, however my first pair fell apart (the sole literally came off in the middle of a round) but I had walked in them for almost two seasons. I think it's the SP-3 model. Only like $50 so you can get mutliple pairs. Good luck!

I have the Tour 360 LTDs and absolutely love them. They are by far the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I also have last years Nike TW shoes which are basically the same sole as this years and they are NOT comfortable.

I've given Nike numerous chances on shoes and they have done nothing but dissappoint.

ADIDAS by far. Nike just doesn't seem to do it when it comes to Golf Shoes...and I own 4 pairs...but the 2 pairs of tour 360 II and the tour 360 ltd that I have are the most comfortable golf shoes that I've ever put on..hands down.

I got the Adidas Powerbands and will have to agree that they are very comfortable and I feel very stable in them.

Id have to go with Nike if those are my only 2 choices. Im not a fan of Addidas. Personally, Id go with Footjoy over either Nike or Addidas...
