So, i have a pair of Ecco golfstreet premiers and i love them to death, but with my SS (116) i find that i slip quite a bit more frequently with them than a traditional golf shoe.  So, what shoe would you recommend? FYI, i have a wide foot so adidas dont fit very well.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Do you play metal spikes?  Soft spikes are not recommended for high swing and/or active feet.  Footjoy Sport are good for wide feet.

I have 13W feet and have two pairs of FJ Contours in different styles.  I love them.  However, I discovered that I don't fit all FJ series in a 13W and sometimes have to go XW.  Forget Adidas, their only widths are narrow, narrower, and ridiculously narrow.

Ecco Bioms seem very stable for me. They have an interesting footbed with three sets of spikes at the heal and I find them rock solid on hills and wet grass. Also super comfortable.

If you have somewhat narrow feet, try some of the running shoe companies.

The M width for some of the Nike and Adidas golf shoes fit me justs fine - no need for narrow-width custom order.

If who has somewhat narrow feet?

The OP should check out the Contours or something else from Foot Joy. Or maybe just get some Keens.

I have relatively wide feet so I've found foot joy and puma seem to be the fitting for me.

Just noticed this bit. I'm not sure what my swing speed is. I can generally get the ball out there pretty good, but it must be less than 116 though, because I can hit the ball just as hard while wearing flip flops.

Hahah i sense some doubt here? .
Its because im fairly short (5'10 on the dot) and i have a really active lower body. My right foot will slide out on the backswing if im not careful

I just bought Some Adidas Tour 360 4.0 Sports (project 50/50)  breathable, very comfortable and feel very stable.  But Since you have Wider feet FJ might do the trick.  Though Adidas should make a wide size.

Good luck in your search.

I used to have active feet. Practicing barefoot and in flip flops cured it.

I just returned a pair of FJ Sports.  I like the look but the 13W wasn't wide enough...unlike the Contours.  The FJ Sports were completely different from the Contours and I was quite surprised.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
