Adidas Tour 360 4.0 or Powerband 3.0???

[JoshuaVnyrd1817]

I have decided to go with Adidas this year and was looking at the Tour 360, and the Powerband 3.0 as my primary choices. I have tried on the Tour 360's and they fit perfectly. The feel is great around my foot, this is something I am really looking for, as I want to start walking more. I also want a shoe that can hold up to my use, about 5 rounds a week.

I have heard 90% positive reviews from these shoes and wanted to see if anyone had some more first hand experience with them. I know that they feel good in the pro shop. However, I said the same thing about my last set of Nike's that simply "hurt" after 9 holes on a cart.

Right now I wear 2010 Nike TW for riding, and FJ Ultralites for walking.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have the Power Band 3 shoes and they are very comfortable.

How do they hold up to the rain and water on the course?

Something isn't right if your Nike's are hurting your feet after 9 holes of riding. I'm guessing they aren't the right fit for your feet or something else. If you are set on getting new shoes go with the Adidas Tour 360 4.0, I own them and they are great in wet weather and have held up fairly well. Good luck.

Both great choices.  It's close, but the 360's are the best shoe.  For me, the deciding factor is the thinness of the sole.  I found this actually helped with balance quite a bit.  Can't really go wrong with either.  Check Ebay, you can find "blemished" 360 4.0's for $70 shipped.  Great deal...

I think you meant True Linkswear. http://www.truelinkswear.com/

Thanks for the input. I know the Nike's I have right now are a little too big, and in turn let my feet slide, which isn't comfortable.

I am going to buy the Powerband 3.0 Sports when they're available on GPP. $88 can't complain. Planning on getting the Tour's later in the season for riding.

Kind of doubtful that they can keep you on the ground without spikes... If one of the golf stores here ever gets them I'll have to try them out.

I have used them in the rain,on sidehills in the rain ,dry grass and have never run into any problems so far.

I've had 4 pairs of Tour 360 shoes. They were great BUT on all 4 of them the outside heal area wore out in a month. I play daily so minimum 25 times per month which is hard on shoes.  Adidas was great about it as they replaced each pair until I said enough. I want a pair of shoes that would were out in a month. They replace my Tour 360 with there Adipure shoe. I can tell you this is the finest shoe Ive ever worn for golf. I walk half the time and this shoe is worth the money. Your feet are on of the biggest investment you'll make.  Just my two cents

I have had my Tour 360˚ since last spring and I really like them. Very comfortable and they have held up well.

[tim31x]

i've had every pair of powerbands since they have came out....a little heavy but by far the best support and very very comfortable for walking. i highly suggest them.

Added benefits of Nike and Adidas golf shoes: If you have a narrow foot, the M width in some models of each likely will fit you. I have two pair of Nike Air Tour, and one pair of Adidas (can't remember model).

Also, the lacing on the Nike ATs allows you to vary the pressure at different points along the top of your foot - delivering a solid but not tight fit.

I second this. I've owned a pair of Tour 360 4.0s since around October last year. I play once or twice a week and have recently noticed the outer part of the heel completely worn away.

They're amazingly comfortable however, so much so I'm considering buying a second pair and alternating between them.

I am in the market to buy a pair of Adidas shoes to alternate with my Nikes.  I came across these in the Golf Galaxy by me and I was wondering if any of you guys have worn/tried/own them and can give me a little insight about them.

[SlapShotGolfer]

I've been wearing powerbands for a while and have found them to be very comfortable, but have always liked the looks of the tours.

[toddmlazarchick]

Anyone ever gamed these before?  I really like the look of them over the previous ones I posted two posts ago but they are a bit more expensive.  Opinions?
