I have a unique problem. I have sz. 17 feet and finding footwear in general is hard, but is especially hard in finding golf shoes. I have a pair of golf shoes right now, a pair of New Balances, but i got them out of necessity because my golf team said that i needed golf shoes in order to play on the team. I usually wear my Nike running shoes when i play because they are more comfortable. The golf shoes that i have now a very uncomfortable and kill my heels when i walk even nine holes in them, and that is with my custom insoles in them that i wear in all my shoes because i am flat-footed.

I want to know if anyone knows anywhere i can get larger sized golf shoes to wear. I've looked at all the major companies: FJ, Nike, Bite, ect. and i cant find many shoes that go up to my size range. Im contemplating calling a company and custom ordering a pair of shoes completely, but i dont want to spend $200+. Can anyone help me out?

Size 17??? Damn son.

How tall are you?!?!?

If them toes was webbed, you could outswim Michael Phelps with them flippers!

EDIT: It looks like Callaway makes a few models in your size:

EDIT #2:

TGW has some Eccos on sale and they are available in size 50 (US 16-16.5), but I wear Eccos and they run large. I wear one size smaller in Ecco than other brands, so Size 50 may work for you:

EDIT #3:

Golfsmith has a couple of Ecco models in size 50 (US 16-16.5)

just wondering, have you tried walking in them with out your insoles? I wear insoles when I regular walk but I do not put them in a shoe unless it's a hightop.. So I do not wear them when golfing.

If you haven't tried it, I suggested you do and see if that makes a difference.

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
