Limited addition Adidas Samabs

So who will be the first to try these out?

There is a trend happening in the golf world right now that I hope stays around for a while. Golf companies are coming out with limited edition items for each major championship. They used to do this back in the day for professionals only, but now us regular folks can get our hands on stuff that helps pros prepare for each major (granted, we won't be at Augusta National or Olympic Club, but we sure can look like we are).

The adidas brand has done a great job with this, especially with shoes, and the latest limited edition Sambas are a great touch for each of the big four tournaments.

They are quite colorful!

I tried on some white/tan ones two days ago... No thanks. They have 0 arch support. I play soccer through college and have plenty of flats. The last thing I want is another set to walk 3-5 miles in.

Now the new 360 power band Adidas shoes have massive archs in them, probably buying a pair tonight. Just not into the clear sole look on the ones I've seen online, hoping to find some more normal ones.

These are in my future I think:

Arch support isn't all it's cracked up to be. Just sayin' .

Read your thread and tried some different shoes to walk my nine hole course.

Since the thread started about Sambas, I broke mine out last week and walked my 9. Feet killed me the next AM

Took next night off but walked 9 again the following night this time in just regular Adidas tennis shoes similar to the ones I normally golf in, no achy feet the next am.

Again I walked 9, made 7 holes barefoot. Had gravel and other objects to walk in so I just left shoes on for last two. No pain the next day.

I played 36 this weekend, which is normal, with my nice and comfy arch support shoes. No morning foot pain.

Now I've broke bones in my feet several times over the years, all from playing soccer. This is probably an issue I have that others may not. As far as the Samba shoes, I would never golf in them again. That I walked most of nine barefoot and had no issues, I'd go with Sambas as the pain causing culprits.

It may not be the arch support I am enjoying so much as it is the better quality shoe overall.

I did not buy the new Adidas shoes I showed above fyi. I plan on checking out some True shoes and the TW13.

Thanks for the link to the foot thread, got me looking in a new direction a little.
