Were they a lot cheaper in the US even including import taxes etc? If so where did you get them??

I buy a lot of Vokey and Cameron stuff from the US, have it all shipped to a buddy of mine and then sent over in one big box. The DNA's he picked up for me were $189, approx. £115 IIRC. He then ships the whole lot over for around $60, marked with a low value to keep import costs to a minimum.
My local range had them in stock from yesterday in both the black and white versions (and a free shoe bag thrown in)

Tried them on today and they are lovely. The foam round the ankle really does mould to your foot.
Now to convince the missus that I need a new pair of shoes for the summer!

What prices are people seeing these at over here? First few I heard were £140-150, but others are as low as £120-125.

£139 inc. shoe bag at our pro. Had a look last night. Look pretty chavvy but comfortable. Might give them a try as my shoes are in a shocking state and I could do with a new pair for the year.

Seen them at both 169 and 129
Tried a pair on and must say I'm a bit disappointed
Very rigid , heavy and seem a bit big compared to the Adizeros I have been wearing - certainly don't feel like slippers from the box
Pro getting a smaller size and in a wide for me to try but after all the hype they aren't living up to it so far.

First bad review I have seen, not going to appeal to everyone I guess. Need to get along to a shop to try a pair on but don't really fancy going to my local AG as they always seem to give you what they have and I'd rather get a pair that fits properly. Hoping the FJ fitting truck comes my way soon so I can get measured up properly. I have the girliest feet in the world, I get blisters and aching feet in almost everything, this is probably because I get off the shelf size 9/10's. with no thought to width at all.

Well the size lower with a wider fit seem to fit a lot better so they have been purchased and will be in use tomorrow
Will see what all the fuss is about

Was reading golfwrx last night, and saw a few disgruntled buyers .... spikes being lost, and some comments about similar "adizero damage" too.

Well I have worn them for two rounds now so thought I would post an initial feeling about them
Comfort - they are ok , nice soft cushion under your feet with the foam layer and comfy around your ankle . Very stable when swinging
Style - best thing about them , they look very nice
Fit - they don't fit like slippers and so far I have a very nice blister on my left toe
Weight - not the lightest but don't feel heavy on the feet
Overall I would give them a 7/10
They are a decent shoe and happy with the look but nowhere near as comfortable as my Adizero's or as light. They styling is far better though. If they released Adizeros in a plain white I would easily take them over the DNA's.
I wouldn't say I was disappointed with them but I'm not massively impressed with them.
On soft greens they made the same ident on the green as my mates Adizeros.

Cheers for the write up, I'll try a pair when I get the chance as I'm looking for a lite summer shoe and it was a toss up between the DNA's or the new Puma offerings.

Well yesterday i wore them again and it was the first time that they didnt rip my feet apart. No new blisters on either foot so far.
I think the problem with the shoe is the toe cap - the leather is very soft around the shoe but they seem to have made the toe cap solid ( re-inforced ) and thats where my toes are rubbing against currently

Went for a Footjoy shoe fitting the other day and was told that the DNA's are a half size smaller than all the other Footjoy shoes. This is because the DNA's are made wider towards the front and as the fitter said, Footjoy want a golfers foot and toes to be allowed to spread a little when swinging to help promote stability.
You are right about the toe of the DNA's as well, the fitter told me there is a fibreglass cap over the toe area.
I got fitted 9.5 wide for all Footjoy shoes, but 9 wide for DNA's.

My adipures were absolute agony when I got them, they causes massive blisters on the back of my heel. However bought some blister plasters and put cream all over my feet before wearing them, this did the trick but it took ages to wear them in. Shame cause then they eventually leaked but got another pair of adipures, slightly different model and these were comfort straight out the box.
