Adidas golf shoes

[Oddsocks]

I know nothing about the 360. If, like the Adidas shoes I had, it uses PINS cleats, then I think you're hosed.

PINS is just a downright stupid cleat attachment system. It's almost as if the design was deliberately chosen to make cleats break and fall out in order to sell lots of replacements. Skechers uses PINS too so I'll never buy another pair of those.

It’s why I’ve refused to buy another pair of Adidas shoes, my old course you crossed a gravel lane between the front and back 9. Lost count how times I broke or lost PINS cleats, became a faff replacing them, annoying buying more so in the end I binned the shoes that uppers were in perfectly good order due to frustration. I’ll never buy them again no matter what the offer or shoe.

Seen some other brands online like champ and stinger, I’m tempted to try as the genuine adidas cleats are jank. Can’t imagine wearing another brand however I can’t replace cleats on a weekly basis.

Reminds me I’ve got one to change for the weekend which has snapped in the shoe…. Oh joys!

Has anyone tried the champ helix instead of the OEM adidas thintec cleats. Hoping they may be better than the genuine adidas items

When I had a pair of Adidas shoes (and the Skechers), I replaced lost cleats with Champ ones. They broke and fell out just the same.

It's the PINS design that's at fault. I don't think anyone could make cleats that don't break. (Unless they made the "wings" from steel. But that would just destroy the cleat mounting instead, which would be worse).

Looks like I need another brand if im staying at my course… BALL-AXE!!!

i had adidas 360's years ago (ryder cup edition with the europe logo) but the heel was a nightmare on them, first it hurt and then they disintegrated, so i gave up and stuck with nike and footjoy which are both pretty comfy
then my lad outgrew his adidas code chaos so i borrowed them and will be buying more, they really are ace and im down with the kids in the funky colours!
