If it is indeed slushy, definitely wear the black shoes! I wore all white shoes the other day in slushy conditions... wow, big mistake..

OT, but I use saddle soap.

I hope it's OK, I just bought Tiger's new black shoes that he wore during The Masters.

And, I only wear black ankle socks with them.

Oddly enough...one of the guys in my group today was wearing the same...black shoes and socks.....so were a few others.

I can't begin to describe how slushy the course was playing....thankful for getting plenty of carry with the driver....loving the 10.5 degrees of luck...I mean loft.


Beautiful day...other than the casual water.

My wife, the fashion queen isn't yet awake to ask.....I'm heading out for the course in an hour or two.....wondering if it is "acceptable" to wear black golf shoes with shorts.

Nice move asking everybody here. Too many guys depend on women for advice about their clothing. The problem is most women only know how to dress women.

Definitely wear the all blacks, but as said earlier wear black ankle socks.

Eh, some people shouldn't answer this question. I am one of them - here are my golf shoes:

those are pretty sweet! My brother-in-law laughs at my plaid shorts... but that's about as far as I go. I don't do the whole European Ian Poulter thing.

HAHA I wear all black shoes and white socks. I dare someone to make fun of me on the course. Ive yet to play with someone who could last 3 rounds.

I voted "Who cares?", but honestly I think it looks very strange. Mine are brown on white saddle shoes when I wear shoes, but mostly this summer I'll be wearing my golf sandals.... without socks...

I go with the athletic style shoes. They are plain so they go ok with everything from dress pants to kahki shorts to jeans. Yes, I wear jeans to play golf and nobody has ever had a problem with it.

My home course is really casual....especially in the winter rounds. I wore jeans a couple of times this past year and really enjoyed wearing them while playing.

I alway were black shoes and black low sock. I am very much into the look and always look better than the friends I play with and they give me a hard time about it. I actually tone it down a little because my handicap to to high to were the stuff I want to. I don't want to draw to much attention to myself and look like a poser. Its ok though I have only been playing a year and can hang with my friends that have been playing for years. If I ever could hit the 30 to 60 yard pitch shot I could be betting them. I hate that shot.

I dress well without trying to be too flashy. Dressing flashy can put added pressure to your game since it draws extra attention. You can dress well and also be subtle about it. I definitely like to match my outfits for sure.

Get some low cut black socks and your good to go.

Never even thought of this for a second to be honest.

Black golf shoes aren't that flashy. It's not like you're rocking Rickie Fowler Orange Pumas out there.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

    • Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.
    • Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.  
    • Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.
    • Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
