Anyone here using Mizuno MP leather shoes?

[DelB]

Afternoon all.

Have just taken delivery of a very smart pair of Mizuno MP black leather shoes, which I got to replace the second pair of FJ Sports I've had to return in the space of two months, due to the leather and the sole parting company.

They feel a lot 'stiffer' than the sports style golf shoes that I've worn in the past, so I guess they'll need to be broken in before they become comfortable to wear.

I was just wondering what they were like for longevity? Am just paranoid now after my poor FJ experience.

Thanks.

I also have had very poor FJ's-my last 3 pairs all bought this year, all with issues.

Dont know about Mizuno shoes, best post on the mizzy fanboy site, they'll probably be drooling and want you to post pictures of you wearing them from all angles :rofl: and of course they'll probably state they are the best shoes ever

Which is exactly why I've posted on here and not on there.

If it's of any interest to anyone, Clubhouse Golf are doing them for £76.99, rather than the eye-watering £160 they initially hit the market at. :thup:

Always had FJ, with no issues.

I think, from a previous thread, there are build quality issues with these. I'll see if I can find the thread.

Del, unsurprisingly I got me a pair of MP's in white from Clubhouse. Look classy but sadly not been playing so haven't tried them.
My first impressions were as yours that they felt stiff, quick soak in warm water soon sorted that.
They feel comfy and they feel stable (not so sure about the heel section though) and the spikes look mean :thup:

As in completely submersed?

Cheers Greig.

Del,

what do you think of the sizing ? Supposed to be a bit on the narrow side by all accounts.

They do feel a bit 'cosy' David, but I imagine they'll stretch a wee bit with use. My feel are fairly narrow anyway.
Am playing on Sunday, so will post pics of my blisters on Sunday evening!!! :lol:

I think Mark Crossfield, much beloved of this forum, wears them.

I think that he wears something closer to these.

I actually like the look of the Mizuno Shoe Range quite a lot. And now that I hear that the MP Titainium Leathers are on sale, they may well be added to the Christmas list

Not completely. It was the high backs on the heels that I found stiff so just turned them upside down and put the heels in water. Worked a treat.

Never had an issue with any FJ's. I didn't know Mizzy did shoes

Are you tempted Homer??

They're quite pretty

 

[richart]

They always looked very stiff to me, and I hate breaking in shoes.

My Ecco Bioms were so comfortable from day one. My Footjoy Dryjoys and AQL's have always been comfortable straight out of the box as well. The Mizuno shoes do look quite natty though, touch of the roaring twenties.

There's a bit of the Great Gatsby about some of them you're right

Well, the guy at AG did say that it was the first pair they'd had back and kind of implied that it must be something about the way I 'used' them. :mmm:
