Just do it, as they say.  I have worn Ecco cross trainers (not golf shoes) all summer long on the course.  They already have decent traction being made for trails.  Combined with full arch support, cushioned and breathable uppers, and being able to drive to the course in them, I haven't wanted to get my FJs out of the trunk.  The FJs are there JIC I get invited to a swanky club or someplace where I feel too uncomfortable with the sneaker look.  FWIW I haven't noticed any grip difference without the soft spikes.

But my feet have not been sore once this year and that is a first.  It used to be a big deal to kick off the shoes after golf and now I hardly think about it.

I enjoyed Footjoys, then tried on and played the True LInkswear -- don't think I can go back to FJ now. I like the minimalist, close to the ground feeling. I think Adidas is trying to go semi-minimalist - as in closer to the ground - but it's tough to beat the feeling and comfort of the True

I have two pairs of golf shoes.  Adadis Powerbands that I got free with my driver and FJ Contour Series Model 54108.  I wore out the FJ Contour Series and was getting some pain in the arches from multiple rounds a day with the Adidas shoes.  When I went to go purchase replacements for FJ's I fully intended to purchase the Trues or some of the Ecco street.  When I tried the Trues on my feet felt like they were swiming and I didn't like the wide toe box looking down.  I had the opposite experience with the Ecco street shoes.  I felt like my foot was being squished.

I ended up going with the another pair of FJ Contour Series Model 54108 (I don't like the other models of the Contour Series).  Not sure I'll be able to get them next time I need a new pair as they are apparently discontinued.

I would love to play in my tennis shoes to save money for a bit until I can buy a pair of golf shoes, but even though tennis shoes are less likely to leave marks than metal spikes, they aren't allowed.

I could care less if I get the best shoe or not, I'm just beginning right now. All I need is a pair that I will be allowed to play on the course in.

Upgraded my golf shoes four months ago to the Addidas Tour 360.  I was a little hesitant of the price tag (got them before the price drop to $150), but I needed a good shoe.  Went with the wide model.  Can honestly say it's the most comfortable golf shoe I've ever worn.

The big sporting goods stores like Big 5 usually have something discounted well below $60.  As to what - that depends on the store.

I can't recommend anything. My duck feet insist on expensive Pure's.

I don't know of any course that won't allow tennis/running shoes.  I say go for it.......  The only negative your you is if it's wet.....they'll get wet, muddy and nasty.  The only street course a course wont allow are dress shoes........or Stilettos...you won't be wearing those, are ya?  haha..

Well the club I just joined has a "no street or tennis shoes on greens" rule. So I ended up buying some adidas adiCOMFORTs.

No tennies?  WOW.....and you are in Topeka?  What course?  Tennies are easier on the greens than normal golf shoes, so that sounds crazy to me.

Yeah I don't see any reason for banning tennis shoes... on greens.  No sense in that.

I'm frugal as a rule but have found that I need to spend money for decent shoes.  Anyone buying golf shoes should consider "Would I go for a four hour hike in these?" before ringing the register.  Even if you play in a cart you have lots of steps to take.

If memory serves me correctly, I don't think it's about tennis shoes per se.  Rather, it's about reducing the risk of having their greens infected with some disease.  Golf courses do a lot of work to make sure their greens stay relatively healthy.  So, since most player are only wearing their golf shoes on the golf course, there's less risk of picking up a disease.  In contrast, if players wear their everyday shoes, they could walk through some infected grass/vegetation somewhere outside the course and transfer that disease to the greens when they play on them.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change.

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By RWold ·

      There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down.
