I can't pin point specifically what it is but it has something to do with the toe area of the shoes.

Absolutely. Some of them look very much like "clown shoes" because of how wide the toe area can be. Can't fault anybody for not liking that look. (But, GD are they comfortable! ;))

Mine are the full on clown shoe model. Original True Tours. Black and white, extra large toe, total clown shoes look. Never would have even tried them if not for a) the rave reviews from many posters I trust implicitly b) the crazy low price I paid for a previous years model. Glad I took the chance because the comfort is outstanding and they marry exceptionally well with aimpoint green reading.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

They build the forefoot and toe box wider so your feet have room to spread out naturally as if you were barefoot.  They definitely do look different than conventional tennies/golf shoes, but I have a pair of Merrell Barefoot tennies which are made the exact same way and they're very comfortable - so comfortable that I'll gladly accept the slight "clown shoe" look.  The fact that True Linkswear seems to be moving away from their "barefoot"/minimalist style shoes is what's keeping me from buying their newer models.

Speaking of Merrell, my "golf" shoes are Merrell Moab Ventilator hiking shoes.  I get a lot more support on the sole and sides, and I need that.  They are super comfortable and cool in hot weather.  I just got a new pair, size 13EE.  I wear them everywhere in the summer, and I wear the higher waterproof model in the winter.

Merrell makes great shoes.  I have a pair of their hiking boots and 2 pair of their tennies, all very comfortable shoes.  A friend of mine wears those exact same hikers (or a very similar model) as his golf shoes most of the time.

Someone owns 20+ pair of golf shoes? Is Imelda Marcos on this forum? I don't think I've bought 20 pairs of athletic footwear in my lifetime!

    • Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.
    • Day 26: Did full swing practice after work. First 15 balls were working on top of the backswing feel, and then tried to incorporate transition feel into the next 15 balls. A's, although this will be my last season of being a fan as they leave for Las Vegas (by way of Sacramento for a few seasons). Hard to see myself rooting for the Giants, but if that's the only MLB in the Bay Area, I guess I might get on board.
    • My two cents? Don't. As a beginner that's interested in learning about the golf swing, you'll find yourself consuming a lot of information, most of which isn't even relevant to your own swing. You need to learn you can't think your way to a good golf swing. Focus on the one thing that you're working on and doing that on every swing, come what may. And remember, mishits happen.
    • Day 6 (7 May 24) - More work in the backyard focused on tempo in addition to setup.  Worked with 6 and 7 irons hitting hard foam balls - used the old MacGregor irons to mix it up a little.   
    • No! lol. But they have to be in the right sequence to play mid-handicap golf or little better. Mostly. And even in that there is range/margin for error in the motions and positions that most normal humans can handle. It helps if you have a decent idea of how a golf club moves around the body like you would any other equipment sports (baseball and hockey might be the closest) After all, fairways are 40 yards wide. Don't overthink it. Be diligent in getting basics right. I will concede that it is harder than it sounds but it certainly is not exact angle/exact position/exact degree of bend/exact speed/exact facial expression, etc, every.... single.... time or the result is horrible death.
