Golf Boots - anyone wear them for support rather than weather concerns?

[fundy]

Am not far from being able to play again having had torn ankle ligaments. Having had this in the past I know the ankle is likely to be quite weak for a while and a little wary of how it will hold up on the golf course. Obviously I have the usual supports but did wonder whether I would be better off getting a pair of ankle high boots to use for the next few months? Anyone else do this and if so any you would recommend (the Stuburt seem the most readily available). Do they actually restrict you when swinging?

I have the Adidas climawarm and don't wear them for the support, but they do provide good support. No restrictions of movement for me.

The same for me with Footjoy boots.

Thanks guys, seems no where has any of the Climawarm anymore and only stock up to size 11 in the FJs

I'm not sure boots are going to give you what you want. If they are tight enough to support your dodgy ankles, they must restrict your move ment, possibly even more than strapping. Would the support/restriction be in a medically correct position?

You may be right, its probably mental as much as anything and more for walking than when hitting shots (that tend to be when the ankle gives if it twists), id rather no restriction when hitting. Be good to try some but thats clearly not gonna happen in my size

Have seen good words about the Nike boots, styling is a bit marmite though

marmites being nice lol, they look hideous, especially at double the price of the other brands

If you're struggling, why not go direct to Adidas and say you're having issues and see if they can source some. Nothing ventured and all that
