I'm looking for a pair of spikeless shoes for this upcoming golf season.  I really like the looks of the True Tours and like the reviews I've been reading.  That said, I'd hate to spend $150 for a pair of shoes that may not last a few seasons.  I probably won't wear them off the course, except for the days I'm going to play or when I go to the range.  If these shoes would last 2-3 years, then I just don't see a problem putting out the dough.

I also looked at some Skechers, Urbantrack I think, that look like the soles would provide some traction without the spikes.  I doubt they'd be waterproof, and I wonder how the comfort is while walking 18 holes, but they are about 1/3 the cost of the Trues.  Hopefully some here will have experience with both type shoes and be able to chime in.  Thank you for any info that may help me.

I tried the Skechers on the other day and they were very comfortable.  I did notice the same as you said, however.  Not really sure how the feet will hold up after 18 in them.  Sooooo, I found the Trues at a bit of a discount and took the plunge.  After getting them, I sure would pay the full retail price of them, and will likely order another in a different color when my size is back in stock.  Very comfortable, the rubber on the sole is pretty substantial (not in size, but in a way that seems it will be very durable, if that makes sense).  I honestly didn't want to take them off, but the ugly stuff outside made me not want to dirty them up at this time.  Can't wait for this snow/ice to melt and let me get back out to the course.  Thanks for the replys fellas.

    • I think part of it is there hasn't been enough conclusive studies specific to golf regarding block studies. Maybe the full swing, you can't study it because it is too complicated and to some degree it will fall into variable or random.  
    • Going one step stiffer in the golf shaft, of the same make and model will have minor impact on the launch conditions. It can matter, it is a way to dial in some launch conditions if you are a few hundred RPM off or the angle isn't there. Same with moving weights around. A clubhead weights 200-220 grams. You are shifting a fraction of that to move the CG slightly. It can matter, again its more about fine tuning. As for grip size, this is more personal preference. Grip size doesn't have any impact on the swing out of personal preference.  You are going to spend hundreds of dollars for fine tuning. Which if you want, go for it. I am not sure what your level of play is, or what your goals in golf are.  In the end, the golf swing matters more than the equipment. If you want to go to that level of detail, go find a good golf club fitter. ChatGPT is going to surface scan reddit, golfwrx, and other popular websites for the answers. Basically, it is all opinionated gibberish at this point.

    • Well the first advice I would give is to look at your swing. If you are swing out to in, it may be difficult to fix your misses with club adjustments. They would only be a bandaid. I use midsize grips because I have long fingers and I feel I have more control with them. I also have tinkered with shaft length and swing weight. But I know when I miss it’s because my swing was off.
