So I was in need of a new pair of golf shoes and I found a pair of Puma Harpias on sale, 40% off so I grabbed them.

Cleaning the soles after the first round and I noticed that the left and right soles are different. Not massively so, but different enough.

The salesman was raving on about some feature that was supposed to make you swing better but I honestly tuned out.

So the question is are they meant only for right handed golfers? Or did I somehow end up with two different shoes (that look exactly alike)....

From what i remeber the sales man saying as the feet have different stresses on them in a golf swing the shoes are designed to encourage grip where needed and slip where needed....

Thoughts?

That didn't mention it. A few online reviews and stores mentioned the "directional" nature of the "Quill" cleats and the little added tractional spikes on the sole.

I've seen "directional" shoes before but they're typically for righties or lefties. They're more about the way the feet rotate, or they're both directionally oriented "inward" so that they're symmetrical (to each other).

    • I generally like par-3 courses and find it a darn shame that the last of them closed in my area during the pandemic. Part of it may have to do with the fact that I never have been very good with the longer clubs, so the short holes are a bit more my speed.  Being able to get in 18 holes in two hours was pretty convenient and, ironically, the lack of crowds made them peaceful places to be. Naturally, that's the same reason they no longer exist around here.  The second option sounds like a whole lot of no fun.
