Even with having a decent amount of places to buy golf shoes around here, none of them have anything in a 12 or 13, so I am turning to online stores. My question is, is there any brand that runs quite a bit smaller than what they advertise. For example, I wear a 13 in Nike, but I would hate to order a Foot Joy 13 or Adidas 13 and have it be way tight on me when it shows up. Thanks for any help you can offer.

the Adidas Tour 360 II shoes are a bit smaller than their size. Mine are a 10 which I normally take and they are a bit small.

You are correct in assuming that shoe shopping online often leads to incorrect sizing. Here's what we do with our two NFL sized boys who wear sizes 15 and 17 respectively.

Buy several pairs, keep the two pair that fit and they like and send the rest back. A bit of a hassle, but we don't lose a nickel (free returns every time) on the transaction and only pay for what we keep.

We usually buy from Eastbay.com or Zappos (?? I think that's the store).

Just an idea ....

      Yikes! Colin Morikawa withdraws on 11th tee after the practice swing made his lower back twinge.

      Short Game Chef (Parker McLachlin) Short Game Videos

      My flop shots are 6-7° down (AoA). Does that answer it? 😄  The longer answer is… You have to be able to do both shots.

      I hope you don't mind me raising this one from the dead. I got shortgamechef's video access thing for a few months in 2024. I watched his yip fix videos (the general gist is similar to the first video above, but with a lot more detail) and it made a lot of sense. I was working on it in my backyard off a mat for a while and my yippy thing was mostly gone. Aside from anything else, the flop shot using that technique is so easy and controllable. But I got onto a golf course for the first time of the year and found myself by the green on a downslope with the ball sitting down a little in the rough and I was, not to put too fine a point on it, f***ed. Shallow is all well and good from a good flat lie and I understand it, but you can't make that your be all and end all. I still don't know if it's a good idea to use steep all the time or just when you need to. I have a hard enough time with one technique, let alone too.  Just got a pitching skillest lesson with Erik and unless I misunderstood things some, he wants me a bit steeper. @iacas - where do you fall on the steep vs shallow argument and how do you vary it according to need?
