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.

    • Day 11: Worked on putting with the metronome
    • I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2! 
    • Sounds good. Text me if you have any questions. You have a good setup, too, and so long as you can get good camera angles… you should be good. https://skillest.com/@iacas
    • Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.
    • I'm in the same boat.  I think the last team event I got really excited for was the 2019 Presidents' Cup.  When I first got into golf, the Ryder Cup was an event (one among many) I used to plan my schedule around to make sure I'm able to watch it.   I'm not sure I realized how close it was until I saw this thread pop up.
