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.

    • The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.
    • I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
