Do they have a "stiff" feeling?  That's how they look like they would feel to me.  I guess I'll go into Golf Galaxy this weekend and try on a pair first.  The TW shoes may be expensive, but they are about the best golf shoes I've ever worn.  Last year I tried some casual-style golf shoes and I just slipped more than I'd liked so I need something with more stability.

So, I tried a couple pairs of these today and, umm...let's just say it only took about 30 seconds for me to want to take them back off.  They are very stiff feeling and look even worse (at least the all black ones do).

Nowhere NEAR as comfy as Lunar Controls

I tried these on based on your comment and, you are right.  Now I'm considering these over the white TW13s.  Although the ones I tried on were the Lunar Control shoes, but I believe there are some Lunar Control IIs out now that I'd like to try on.  The only problem I had with them is that the heel seemed to slip a bit when walking (meaning the top of the rear of the shoe would slide down my achilles slightly while walking).

I don't want to sound like some spazoid... But if you are going to drop TW13s type of coin on a pair of golf shoes... I highly recommend you consider the TRUE Linkswear Protos.  They are hands down the best golf shoe I've ever had.  Easily.  Awesome shoes.

My wife bought me some AdiZeros back from London, since I can't get size 14s here in South Africa. The white/grey/black looks quite good although the stuff over the toe box has a bit of a patent leather finish that feels kinda cheap. They are very light and seem to fit me well. I'll play in them on Tuesday and see how it goes.

But do they provide a lot of grip?

I actually got the TW13 black shoes last season basically for free.  But guess what?  I never wore them.  Not once.  Why?  I was insecure about my game and didn't want to look like a poser.  Well guess what?  I probably do anyway, so I stopped caring.

Last year I wore some lunar ascends which don't have the plastic/rubber spikes and instead look more like a casual shoe.  Whenever I wasn't standing on perfectly solid and dry ground, there was a possibility of me slipping a bit.  I wore the TW13s for my first and only round of this season and I felt so much better.  The thing is, I hate the color red, so I still don't like wearing those shoes.  But the lunar control shoes look awesome and feel like they'd provide the same level of grip: http://store.nike.com/us/en_us/?l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-666983/pgid-728844

At this point I'm willing to spend the amount of money necessary for a comfortable and good-performing shoe.  It makes a difference when you play a lot of golf.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
