Most comfortable golf shoes on the market. 

Thanks for the info on the True shoes. I just ordered a couple of pairs.

I have a big toe box. They advertise a 'big toe box' so I'm hoping these fit.

Does anyone remember Bite Golf? Those are the best shoes I have ever owned. Thankfully, I still have a couple of pairs.

I'm really hoping the True shoes fit my big feet. I ordered sizes 13 and 14.

You won't be disappointed with the True's.  As some have said, the fit and styles were hit-or-miss from one year to the next for a while but I think they've found a nice balance. I love mine and am about to pick up another pair or two for this season.  The wide toe-box makes a world of difference in my opinion - find that i have much better balance and stability because my toes can spread out.  You'll also pay more attention to Ryan Moore on tour as he's a co-founder of True Linkswear and they've offered some crazy sales (like buy one get one free) when he wins.

I have very bad feet, multiple surgeries, bunions, etc.  The only shoes I can wear reliably are Ecco.  I can wear FJ occasionally.  I've tried Trues but they were the worst.  Nike second worst.  Totally depends on your feet.

Ecco

Have many others and I always grab the Eccos.

I bought Ecco shoes for years, and agree that they're the most comfortable (I always walk). However, I beat up my shoes (play early when grass is wet, play in rain, cold, etc.) and the waterproof material always failed after 6-9 months, even in the GTX (gor-tex) version of the shoe.

I now wear the Nike Lunar Control 3, and while not quite as comfortable, they're still fine for walking 36 holes and are still waterproof after 1.5 years.

In all honesty, I've never had a pair of golf shoes that weren't comfortable walking in. I've never even spent much, always grabbed shoes on sale for around $60.

I love my pair of Puma Ignite spikeless shoes. I've tried Footjoys, Ecco, Nike.... These Pumas are by far the most comfortable. I couldn't make it 9 holes with the Footjoys or the Ecco. The Footjoys were spiked and the spikes under the big toe joint were a problem on my right foot. With the Ecco spikeless shoes, it was where the tongue of the shoe was attached - right over the big toe joint, and this caused severe pain. See, I had to wear heels for several years and they destroyed my feet. 

Puma Ignite spikeless are perfect over that joint. I'd recommend a better insert for arch support, however. I just slip my custom supports in the shoes.

True Linkswear.

I gave them a try a month or so ago based on the talk on this forum.  Now I have two pair and I bought a pair for my wife.  Most comfortable golf shoes I've ever worn.  (Btw, they run small, buy 1/2 size larger than what you normally wear.)

...I've since gone to spikeless in Ecco Biom Hybrid 2 and the Hybrid 2 in GTX (goretex). They also have a spike design that is comfortable that is the Biom Lace - very comfortable/supportive and on sale now (not $240, but found at $135). The last and design of the Biom Lines are based on analysis of over 2500 athletes. It is a minimalist shoe in the vein of True and I find Ecco more comfortable and supportive...

I have myself changed to Ecco Biom Hybrid three years ago after wearing FJ's for years - Ecco was one of the first (if not the very first) who brought out a spikeless shoe a few years ago (remember Fred Couples sporting them for the first time in his most casual of ways?)

I struggle with spike pressure when playing more than two rounds a week, as I carry a rather heavy bag - the Ecco's really made a difference in terms of support and overall comfort.

I have always liked the FJ Contours - really comfortable IMO and a traditional looking golf shoe. I also have a couple of pairs of the Ecco BIOM Hybrid shoes, which I started wearing this year. I also find them to be really comfortable.

I remember having cheap golf shoes as a kid that were made of some hard man-made material, and they just annihilated you - uncomfortable, blisters, just horrible. Hand me downs from my Dad if I remember. We've come a long way - lots of choice in style, price points, quality and comfort for all!
