Course ban on Adidas Adizero shoes....

MadAdey said:
Why can't my fellow wearers of these beautiful shoes just accept the fact that at some places these appear to be causing more damage to greens than other leading brands.

Because there are some on here who won't accept anything that is contrary to their opinion or self-interest.

I start a debate if I believe that a reasonable and fair principle is been rubbished or in threat of change. My views are actually pretty liberal and I accept change when the need for the change is demonstrated and the impact is properly understood. I am not solely or even primarily interested in how change will affect me - but how change will affect others - especially those less likely to be able to accommodate the change. I am more interested in the common weal than self.

I think at times people are against change as it will impact them, even though it will not affect others. I am a firm believer in change when it is needed and welcome it if it will have a positive effect on the game.

It just makes me laugh when people want to change things that really do not need to be changed as it is not going to have either a positive or negative impact on the game, but may effect some. Caddies liing up players..who cares. Banning smartphone DMD's.......who cares. There are other debates that are not going to have any kind of positive impact on the game, so who cares.

But all in all this is a forum and people do have a right to an opinion, no matter how pointless they may be...........:p
 
They have banned these as of yesterday at our club. Signs up everywhere with pictures of the damage they have done to a green. Glad i didnt get any in the sale
 
I've worn mine 3 times and sent an email to Adidas stating my concerns and asking how the issue can be resolved. Essentially I bought them specifically for winter golf due to their waterproof properties and I can't wear them due in part to being banned and partly due to the damage I have witnessed them causing.

In my opinion they have produced a product that is not fit for purpose, or if you wanted to be pedantic a product with limited application, (summer use).

This is borne out by the fact that they are no longer produced and the sole on their replacement shoes has a totally different design.

The silence and lack of response from TM/Adidas has been deafening.
 
This is my first comment on this thread, I am one whom loves these shoes I have two pairs and lucky enough our course is fine with these shoes & has not banned them (yet?).
I agree they do make an increased indent into some winter greens , but they are ok in the summer!.

As I am properly one of few ,I now have the Adizero ones which adidas golf sent me free as I made a funny comment on twitter on Monday.

In reading the reviews of the shoe adidas have mentioned I believe they leave less of a dent!,

I Can confirm this is true as I compared both shoes today on our greens , the New adizeros ones will hopefully not suffer the bad press of its predecessor's.

In summary they will leave the same imprint as any other shoes.
 
I don't own a pair, they don't really suit my eye tbh, although I appreciate they have a huge fan base and that only comes with being a decent shoe. The simple answer is bin them until summer and buy some adipure motion.

May have missed it in the 37 pages, but have any owners of said shoes contacted their retailer about a refund?

Haven't needed to as I've had no issue on any of the courses I've played.
Does any one actually know how many courses have ban them?
I guessing not many.
 
I managed to get a reply from Taylormade/Adidas about this issue as my GC has banned the Adizero shoes and if I am honest, the reply is utter cr@p.

Thank you for your email into adidas Golf.

I am surprised and saddened to read of the incident that has occurred with your golf club and their apparent decision to ban the shoe. It is not something we have heard of neither do we endorse.
Unfortunately there is not much I can suggest other than say I have passed on the details to the area sales manager who will investigate further.

But certainly there is no reason why these shoes should experience any sort of ban as they have been used worldwide on all professional tours without any sort of negative feedback and sold in numerous outlets throughout the UK with no such cause for concern.

However as I have said I have passed on the details but on this occasion I am unable currently to take this case further.

Kind regards

What did you expect? Or what did you want them to say?

Hardly likely to say much as there is such a very small occurrence.
