Always golf shoes.  My feet slip a bit in tennis shoes and Crocs are an insult.  They went out of style about 5 years ago.

I played the first couple years just wearing sneakers. When I finally got a pair of golf shoes my scoring average went down a bunch. It makes a difference. It's not that you're going to fall down with

Running shoes are fairly common for me during casual rounds. People think its funny, but I've never really been convinced that golf shoes help all that much.  (Wet days might be an exception)

Were they ever in style?  They rank right up there with velcro runners. I won't even let my kids wear them.

This is me too.  Which I choose depends on the course and the weather.

I think at one point in time they were.  Like I said though, they went out of style 5 years ago, yet some people apparently never got that memo.  Some of the people I work with wear Crocs all the time and think they are the coolest thing ever.

My girlfriend is a clothing designer, so shes pretty up to date on whats in style.  One time I joking said to her that I was going to buy a pair of Crocs golf shoes and I almost thought she was going to kill me. LOL

I've always played in golf shoes but I use to occasionally practice in running shoes if I forgot my golf shoes at home or whatever... however, my golf shoes stay in my car now so I really don't ever go without them anymore.

I definitely, on the course, wear golf shoes whenever I play. However, when I practice at a range with mats, I find that wearing golf shoes makes me feel a little higher up than normal, and I found that my sneakers are nearly the same hight in the sole part of the shoe, so I use those when I hit ranges with mats.  But, whenever I'm on grass practicing or playing, I wear golf shoes.

I could probably rock those for a day, but after that it would be a hassle to play in.

I have been told by my golf mentor, "Practice the same way you play, always hit to a target, make every ball count on the driving range". So it's golf shoes for me.

hehe......these look like Pikachu golf shoes. ;)

I'm not into the traditional golf clothes or golf shoes.

Athletic shoes is part of Golf. We are athletes.

I think most golf shoes are terrible because of the stiffness, weight and rigidity, but they look nice.  I just ordered a pair of True Shoes and I am pretty excited to try them out.  Anybody else have a pair?

I was so glad to see the Sensei offering this year and immediately ordered two pair of them.  I because before that I would wear the white/navy PHX Trues to the airport when I traveled because they were just that comfortable.  Since these are more tennis shoe looking I likely won't even wear the Sensei's on the course because I like the PHX for on course play but off the course the Sensei's will get all the action.  I immediately noticed how much better my hamstrings, low back, and knees felt after a long practice session and that is the reason why I am hooked on those shoes.  If they were hot pink I would still wear them !!

I will hit in Crocs, which are pretty close to Trues, when I'm taking some swings in my garage but I'd never wear them to the course!
