How Many Pair of TRUE Linkswear Shoes do You Own?

[iacas]

I voted above, but the number an hour ago was 37. Now it's 34. Maybe I should make it closer to 16-18 by the end of tonight… I think my wife (and the Salvation Army) would like that.

I've got three currently.  I donate used pair of shoes in good condition.  I may get another Motion for this summer.

None yet - but as soon as they get the new Lyt Breathe shoes out on the market, I'll have at least one pair for sure.  Been waiting for weeks for them to be released!

I'm not sure I understand.

Those are the 2015 models. More may come in the fall, but that's what they have.

Actually, I guess I read the year wrong (duh!), they were released 5/1/14 (not 5/1/15 - again, duh!).  I like very light, minimalist golf shoes and the Lyt // Breathe looked like it fit the bill perfectly.  They were billed as the "perfect summer golf shoe", and since it's summer about 9 months out of the year here in the desert, it looked like a real winner.  Guess I'll recalibrate my calendar and check out the 2015 line.

[ETA:] After reading the other True thread and looking at the 2015 models, it looks like they're moving away from the minimalist/zero drop shoes (the one exception seeming to be the Motion).  Now I wish I had bought a pair of Senseis or Lyts over the last couple years, because I really prefer the minimalist shoes and I'm not totally digging the Motion models they're offering this year.

4 pairs here. A Sensei, 2 Protos, and gent wingtips.

[tristanhilton85]

Hmm...

2 pairs of the Phx

2 pair of tours

1 pair of gents

1 pair of sensei

1 pair of stealths (original)

1 pair of rebels

1 pair of protos

That's 9; I used to have another pair of the original tours and another pair of the sensei.

4

1 pair of tours, which are my first choice and favorite golf shoe

2 pair of sensei, which I like so much as regular wearing around shoes, I haven't wore them for golf yet

1 pair of phoenix

I got one pair bought on sale, $100, at PGA store in Naples, FL last December. They're good but rubber along sole edge won't last forever, that i can see.  Comfy enough but had to go to size 14 to get into the shoe.  The heel flap with Velcro is weird. I'll try for wider next time but now i alternate with old FootJoys normal leather shoes. Both pairs serve.

Name this person: best known for her collection of some three thousand pairs of shoes (but not one TRUE).

11 and when those are done I am moving on. Then only 2015 shoe I would consider is the Oxford. Unless I am wrong it's the only one in the new line with lugs that don't extend beyond the outer sole. What I liked about TRUE was the street shoe look and feel. My Gent's are my dress shoes. I don't see anything in the 2015's that could do double duty.

[Abu3baid]

I don't own any, but I love my ecco's and will get another pair.. TBH I'm not even sure where to even try True's at, truth be told I looked for them before buying my ecco's last year. Oh well, as long as I'm comfortable right?

[Ernest Jones]

Wow! You guys have a lot of shoes! :bugout: I have one pair of True Tours, but they're my second pair.

[Dave2512]

I lied not done and now I have 12. Something made me look at eBay to see what is left out there NOS and I scored a pair of all black Tours for $60.

[tmac20]

None. Any shoe that is not Adidas feels uncomfortable on my feet. Can I ask why you have so many pairs? What is the point of having all those shoes? I can see having two pairs, but that's about it.

[David in FL]

Zero. Luv me my FootJoys! :-)

[Dave2512]

Not sure if @tmac20 is talking to me but the cool thing about the older TRUE's was they could be anything not just golf shoes. I do the same thing with pants and shirts, buy stuff that can be used every day that isn't obviously golf clothes. If I have to go to a meeting with a banker or attend a funeral I will be wearing TRUE Gent's and Slazenger pants that look like dress slacks and a non-logo performance polo. Just about everything in my closet can be worn on and off the course. There is a convenience factor and I don't buy clothes with limited uses. I wear golf clothes most every day, the exception would be if I am painting or doing yard work and of course the shoes are comfortable.

Agree with this. I have 4 pairs of "golf" slack that do double duty as business casual. I also have to performance polos that are black with some horizontal pin striping, also very much in place for business casual. The obvious advantage is that when I have a late morning meeting I can sometimes sneak in a quick nine before the meeting and walk right off the course and into the meeting with no one the wiser. Gotta change shoes though, my True Tours would give me away instantly. :-P

My answer was zero and since you asked...I really do not like the shoes.  To you, they may be the "best golf shoes on the market" but to me they are uncomfortable and I simply do not like the style.  To each his own.
