I am looking to replace my golf shoes. They are only a year old, but they are just too stiff and not comfy. I walk every round, so is there any cheap comfy shoes you guys can recommend.

Nike makes several shoes with their Air (or max air, or whatever) system with the rubber air bubble thing in the sole. They are very comfy and very inexpensive.

That's a good lookin' shoe, I don't care for Nike anything, but if I did I would consider those for sure, I'm a footjoy guy, and dryjoys do the job for me, the dryjoys are around $140 or so and 100% waterproof

I've got a pair of Nike shoes that look more or less like those, minus the waterproofing. I find them very comfortable, and I hated the fit/feel of most golf shoes I've tried on.

I have some Nikes and some Reebox. I never wear either. My Footjoy Contours feel way too good.

You can lay up when your dead.

I've had good success with Footjoys over the years. I've recently retired my previous Dryjoys and picked up a pair of the Contours on clearance of last years model. They should work and feel just fine.

Adidas IMO are the best. I currently have dry joys, adidas 3.0 high end ones can't remember the name, and adidas gym looking ones. The 3.0s crush the dry joys in terms of comfort. I'd get last years model on ebay if I was looking for shoes.

I walk anywhere from 7 to 10 18-hole rounds a week, so my shoes are important. I like Adidas because I have skinny feet and their shoes seem to run a little more narrow. In my current shoe rotation I'm wearing a pair of Tech Response 2.0, FitRX, and Golflite Tour.

I usually go to a local mega golf store like Golf Galaxy or Golfsmith and try on shoes there and then go home and find them for one-quarter to a third the price they're asking. Budgetgolf.com has some screamin' deals on golf shoes.

I replace the paper thin insoles that comes with the shoe with a quality Superfeet Insole. Also, weight is important. People that do a lot of hiking/backpacking have a saying that "a pound on the feet is like ten on the back". Meaning you have to pick those things up a thousand times over the course of a day so a lighter shoe will decrease energy expenditure.

Whoever came up with the saying, "A bad day of golf is better than a good day at work", is a moron.

I just picked up a pair of Nike Rejuvenate golf shoes and could not be happier! LINK
At $89 they might not be considered a cheap golf shoe to some, but you can find them for $79 at GolfSmith and some other shops (didn't have my size though). I've used them twice so far and still cannot believe how comfy they are. I actually kept them on after the round during the car ride home. This was kinda weird to me since the first thing I typically do after a round is whip off my golf shoes and put on my regular kicks.

Some Adidas and Nike models are especially good if you have narrow feet like I do. The M width in these lines fit me well; most other shoes the Ms are way too wide. Foot Joy would be a $200 custom order per pair if I wanted proper width.

What kind of foot do you have. If it's even remotely wide, you've probably ruled out Adidas and Nike.

I picked up a pair of Callaways last year that were probably their worst shoe - really quite awful. The Foot Joy contours I have are great, but the leather can scuff easy, so I got a pair of Green Joys (yeah, apparently they still make those too) for the range and when the conditions are sloppy. The Green Joys were dirt cheap (by comparison) and pretty comfortable too.

I had a pair of Adidas that were just too stiff. I bought a pair of Nike Air vapors and since most of you guys said they run on the skinny side, I went with wide. Thanks

    • It sucks to carry around a lot of water, but ideally it should be way more than we think.  I buy those gallon jugs of water and hang them from my pushcart when I walk. I agree with the electrolytes as well. You don't just sweat out water, but you lose electrolytes as well. 
    • A 2010 study from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research compares the effects of different pre-round stretch routines for competitive golfers. Active Dynamic Warm-up: Swing Medicus driver, hit 3 shots each with selected clubs. Passive Static Stretches: Various athletic stretches such as hamstrings, chest stretch and reverse trunk twist. The subjects were collegiate golfers with a HDCP index of 5 or less who engaged regularly in strength and fitness routines. All golfers had two test days: one with active dynamic (AD) warmup, a second with AD followed by static stretches (SS). The results were then compared, within golfers and across golfers. For performance testing after the warmups, golfers hit three driver shots at time 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the warmup. The study shows that static stretch formats produced poorer performance outcomes in the four measures shown in Table 5, which shows Time Zero results. The performance deficits under the PSS protocol decreased over time. Some suggestions on why the passive protocol was tied to lower performance than the active protocol: The passive stretches routine induced excessive range of motion,  basically producing wobbles in the golf swing. Other research indicates that the stretching produced slack in the tendons, lessening the amount of muscle force that could be transferred into the shot. One caveat: The study had good scientific controls and balancing of treatments (test routines). This was, however, an exploratory study and raises as many questions as it answers. Also, although the study was done back in 2010, it is still cited as a primary work in recent reviews. A quick online search did not reveal any follow-ups on the study. For those interested, the study PDF is below. PassiveStretchGOLF.pdf  
    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
