Waterproof golf shoes?

[supah]

I bought a pair of Adidas Tour 360 golf shoes about a month ago. Already they have twice shown not to be as waterproof as promised, however they got a 2 year warrenty so im not too worried. It's a bit annoying to be shoeless for a week or so tho.

Im wondering if i'v done anything wrong regarding taking care of my golf shoes. Do you polish them often? Or should I not polish them and just wipe them off? I have cleaned them each time I have used them, and polished them twice so far. Not sure if the Tour 360 got 100% genuine leather or if it's partly or fully synthetic. Dunno if polishing synthetic leather harms it?

Anyone else had problems regarding waterproof golf shoes?

friend of mine sent his 360's back too, because in light drizzle he got all wet... I had mine out in a rain and they were fine. I guess it has to be defective to let water through

. I also play in Nike's sp6, which I find very comfortable, yet they're far from being 'waterproof' as advertised. Since I bought them on sale for $30 a pair - I won't complain too much

Hehe, $30 is a steal!

Hope the new pair I get is better and actually waterproof. Can't wait to walk them in again!

I have worn my Tour 360s for about fifteen rounds. I just played an entire round in the rain last week at Mayacama (unreal course in California) and never once did my feet get wet.

After every round, I clean my shoes with a spray of the garden hose on the soles, a wet towel on the uppers, dry them with a towel, and shoe tree them. That's it.

try dryjoys, if they still make them. have three pairs all at least ten years old, feet still dry.

I have played about 20 rounds - many of those in wet grass/rain, and two of those rounds I really did feel cold and wet. One time on my toes and another time underneath my foot, just where the '360 wrap-around' is. Guess my pair must'v been defect since it wasnt just on one spot.

My dryjoys are great. Not much to look at, but they do the trick. I have abused them for two years - they stay in my trunk (extreme heat and cold) and I might knock them together to get the grass off the spikes and dirt off the uppers.
