What kind of golf shoes do you wear and why?

[Wisconsin Golfer]

I just bought a pair of the new ADDIDAS 360 TOUR 3.0 POWERBANDS and I like them alot. They are very comfortable and I can feel the support of the powerband.

Can I select multiple choices?

I have 4 pairs of Adidas, 2-3 pairs of Nike, a pair of Callaway, and like 8-9 pairs of FootJoy.

I have a pretty standard size/shaped foot, so I'm fortunate that I can wear pretty much any brand/style without an issue. So I basically get shoes that I like the look of, rather than trying to get ones that feel good.

Footjoys, because they fit me well. Looking at Nike for next season.

I got these footjoy e-comforts and I love them. I have never felt a more comfortable golf shoe

I used to wear Adidas but got the new Dryjoy Pods for XMAS last year and love them. They fir great and are very stable. I still wear my Adidas but they aren't quite as comfortable as the Dryjoys.

I had been wearing CALLAWAYS and FOOTJOYS. The one pair of CALLAWAYS are like fancy dress shoes, they look great, however they kill me feet only wore them twice. I have another pair of CALLAWAYS that are more like a sporting style shoe, they are OK. Lastly, I have a pair of saddle shoe style FOOTJOYS, I like those, but I love the ADDIDAS POWERBANDS alot better.

I think we have the same pair of Callaways. I have a brown pair that are great looking shoes, but like you I've only worn them twice because they're so uncomfortable. If anything I wear them to hit balls in and nothing else.

adidas 360 3.0s and powerbands. i only use the 3.0s in tournaments but both are extremely comfortable and good for walking (i.e. 36-54 hole tournaments)

I don't care about brand when it comes to shoes, I try them all on(if I like the look) and see which is most comfortable. Currently it's Adidas, last time it was Nike, before that Callaway.

Multiple choice button would be nice -- I've got 2 addidas, 2 nike, 2 footjoy, and 2 etonic right now, and am always looking for new shoes. I have the powerbands and like them, but I pick my shoes primarily on what I'm going to wear them with, since I don't really think there are recognizable, performance enhancing characteristics between which type of soft-spike you use. Thus, my Nike shoes look like running shoes, and I wear them with shorts; my callaways are a little dressier, and go with khaki, or almost white pants; my etonics are two different kinds of white, and I don't really wear them that much since the white shoe thing is a bit much for me (I don't really like the whole white shoes, white pants, white belt look) -- they look good with real light dressy khakis or blue; and my addidas are black, and pretty much go with black, blue, or gray pants.

There you have it. I'm basically a golf shoe *****, though not of Imelda Marcos (or even some of the guys here) proportions. I'd rather buy golf shoes than business shoes -- shows you where my head's at.

As a few others have said multiple choice would have been nice. But...

I have a pair of adidas, 1 pair of Nike's, 1 pair of Callaway's and one pair of FootJoy's. My favorites are the adidas and FootJoy's. The adidas are Tour 360 II's and they are extremely comfortable and are great for walking. The FootJoy's are the DryJoy's and those, like the adidas, are comfortable for walking and waterproof.

Ecco.

They're European & in my view Footjoys' main competitor. Very comfortable, excellent quality, waterproof (lined with goretex). Pros such as Baddeley, Appleby, Montgomerie are wearing them & a few others also.

Well worth a look. (no, I don't have any connection with the company)

I usually sport Nikes. I currently wear some TW version and they seem to fit me well. Nice comfortable arches in them. However, when I buy, I give all the brands a shot. I think shoes is probably one of the items that will keep you the most comfy on the course.
I did find some Etonics G-Sok shoe on sale a while back and bought them just to cut back wear and tear on my Nikes and I have been really impressed with them.

[shredfit]

Wow! some of you have lots of shoes... My wife has been looking at me funny because I have 3 pair Nike, Footjoy, and Etonic... oh yeah, and some Bite golf sandals.

[GaijinGolfer]

I wear Footjoys because I find them to be really, really comfortable.

[ClairefromClare]

I have tough feet--mutiiple surgeries and enough metal that I have to carry a card to get through airport security. The only two brands I can wear are Ecco and Footjoy. Footjoys cost $100 less than Eccos, so it's an easy choice.

I've seen Sandbaggers and they look adorable, but never in a store where they had my size to try on. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can wear them.

[Harry Longshanks]

Ecco. Flexor line.

Best shoes ever.

I usually get custom dryjoys, but right now I am loving my powerbands I got on sale last week.
