I had the opportunity to play a round of golf but was without suitable footwear. The resulting purchase was a pair of Adidas AdiZERO 6-Spike shoes. Not something I'd normally consider but they were the best compromise of price and comfort available.
I went for the more conservative black/white version. First impression was the similarity to a football boot. The comparisons do not end there. They are made from a synthetic material and combine a similar lighweight upper with stiff sole. This is no bad thing, my football boots provide great stability, grip and comfort - everything you also want from a golf shoe.
I wore the shoes straight out of the box for a 5 hour round (!), carrying my clubs. It was a longer walk than a typical round due to the ludicrous distances between some of the greens and tees. Despite these being the 'cheaper' version of the AdiZERO range, they perfomed flawlessly. The course provided a full range of surfaces from firm amd dry to standing water and mud. Up and down hills and from all lies the shoes gave great grip.
After such a long round I was gratefull for the lightweight shoes. They had kept my feet comfortable, cool and dry the entire time and were a doddle to clean at the end.
I think these shoes would perform in all except the wettest or coldest of conditions, where I think the lightweight design will work against them.
The design may not be to everyones taste but they are very effective golf shoes.
