Does anyone know if you can turn a regular shoe into a golf shoe with spikes? And if possible where? Or at least a Golf shoe company with very classic designs, Thanks

Not within 20 minutes. Allen Edmonds are making golf shoes again if you want classic brogues. Or call John Lobb in London and they'll cobble up whatever you want. Bring many pounds.

Hello!

I don't know if you still need this info, but I came upon your discussion as I was researching this for my father.

I found two companies who make "strap-on" spikes, as you're looking for and one company that makes a shoe"conversion kit".  Dick's Sporting Goods is advertising more a wide variety of shoes with spikes now, including casual & sneakers.

Here are the websites for the three companies I mentioned:

Conversion kit:

Strap-on companies:

I hope this is helpful.

I have the "1-Ups"   and although a bit heavy,  they're REALLY comfortable.   I'm not sure if you're looking for "Wingtips" as 'classic'  style,  but they have some saddle, and also some plain (no medallion or cap-toe,  or saddle etc)  shoes as well.

    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
