It's been two years since i last had a pair of Nike golf shoes, but I'm hesitant to get another pair because the air bubble in heel on a pair I had and a pair my brother had both had leaks. I don't think they contributed to a decline in performance, but I will say they started to not be as comfortable.

I've always been a big fan of Nike shoes, they're out of the box comfortable, however I can't ever recall having a pair of running shoes sport leaks in the air bubble, so why would a pair of golf shoes, something I wear 3-4 times a month, if that.

I've since switched to Aididas Powerband shoes and they're quite comfy as well, but I wanted to ask the masses and see if they encountered leaky Nike Air golf shoes as well. Thanks!

Never one issue w/ my Nike's.... and I own three pair.....

they are easily the sharpest looking golf shoe you can get and are very comfortable......

ditch those ugly adidas and get back w/ the Nike's.....

I had a Nike running shoe that got a flat Air unit but that was after 4 years. Never had one in a golf shoe and I've had a lot of Nike golf shoes.

I also had Nikes that became squeeky. Eventually the squeek turned into an unwearable shoe. I think shoes with air bubbles in general are prone to this as they can be punctured in many different ways especially on a golf course.

I am a huge Nike fan. I wear them for basketball and football and just everyday. I have 7 or more pairs of Nikes. I havent came across any air bubbles on my Nike golf shoes yet. I am looking to try the Powerbands soon though.

Hmm, I do like the new TW line, those are sharp. I do think Nike makes a really good golf shoe, but I'm afraid my clumsy nature causes damage to those air sacs. Handsdown, Nike's are the most comfortable, in my opinion. Perhaps I'll give them a try when the new TW shoes go on sale. Thanks!

I'm not a big Nike fan, but I bought a pair because they were the best fit. I checked reviews on them first and one guy said that he had a problem with the bubble rupturing, so looks like you're not alone.

I've owned 2 pairs of nike shoes and although they've fit the best of all my shoes with the exception of my current eccos, they were all prone to leak from the air bubble. They also started to leak in water about a week after the waterproof warranty was out :(

people bring Nike shoes back to the shop I work at all the time. They're not as comfortable when they leak, and most times end up making an annoying squeaking noise.

We very rarely ever get Footjoys back though. Tons of Adidas come back, especially the Tour 360 models.

If you don't mind me asking, what's the chief complaint for those that bring in Adidas shoes? Those are my new favorites. Thanks!

I saw a friend's pair of Nike basketball shoes burst after dunking. The Nike rep said it happens from time to time but we never had any problems after that one. I'm loyal to Nike for giving me free shoes over the years for basketball, and now love the golf shoes they make and never had a problem. I have a narrow foot and Nike's seem to fit better for my narrow feet.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
