I really like these shoes and they feel comfortable as hell.  I wouldn't lose too much sleep over dropping $140 on a pair of golf shoes when I'm replacing the soft spikes once or twice per year.  But with this shoe, you can't.  Once the hard rubber is gone, it's gone.

Anyone have experience playing these shoes?  Any idea how many rounds you really get out of them?

I just bought a pair of them this weekend and with the weather in the midwest looks like I won't be able to try them out for several more weeks.  I do have a pair of Foot Joy spikeless shoes that are at least 10 years old and I still were them from time to time.  They show wear but not so much as to not still wear them, I'm hoping for the same kind of longevity from the ECCO.

From my research on these shoes and various others, these are by far the most comfortable pair of shoes Ive ever worn.  In response to the first post, I spoke to a store clerk and learned something interesting.  apparently, you can call ecco's customer service and have the bottom rubber replaced. For how much I dont really recall.  Supposedly, you send the shoes to Ecco and they replace the bottom rubber.  I hope this help a little.

I didn't like that they don't come in a wide size. There in wierd sizing, and i have a wider foot, so i would have to go up a size and lace them tight, but they still slip on my feet.

A few days back, I talked to a friend of mine who is a pro.  Ironically, he has a couple pair of these and said they last very, VERY well.  So I pulled the trigger and bought some.  They may look a little goofy, but feel pretty damn good.

As for the "wide foot" issue, I've got flat feet and look for wide-soled or high arch shoes in size 11.  In this case, I bought what Ecco equates to 11-11.5 US and they seem fine.

I thought they were a little tight at first, but after one round, they seemed to stretch out just right.  Now they feel perfect.  I'm planning on buying a second pair just because the first has worked out so well!

Having played a couple rounds with them now, I can say they are the most comfortable shoes I've ever played in.

This type of shoe is really catching on. I saw where Ashworth is coming out with a whole line of shoes to compete with the Street Premier this summer. Some other company is coming out with a line also, but I can’t remember who it was.

I have had them for a long time and love them.  i have been trying a new shoe from a new company.  great for wide feet.  they are just as comfortable as the eccos.  from a company called true links wear.  check out the site.

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
