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'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.

Focus, connect and follow through!

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
