They look like old school fitba boots and a bit bland in my humble opinion.
Nobody buys? ?

You must be a player wearing them ?

Turning up at my club at 8am for a seniors interclub match, only to find out that I was the reserve … despite the iG system saying that I had been selected.

I wear these. Easily the best boots ever made. Although mine have yellow accents.

Wow. You must either be obsessive about cleaning them, or haven't managed to get a game ?

Realising that three of the spikes on your five month old pair of Skechers are broken.

Probably said before but it really annoys me when people I'm playing with comment on my shots "Simmer!" "That's got to sit" "That's a reload"
Yep I can see all of these things thanks and would rather you concentrate on your own triple bogey putt

Coming to the conclusion ..again that multiple memberships are not worth it for me, Kings worked out a £40 per round , would have been cheaper to pay the green fee the number of times I played..

That's because Sketchers use the PINS spike mounting system, which is absolutely not fit for purpose. The spikes are held in by two tiny little plastic "wings" that break off far too easily. I can't fathom how its designers ever thought it made sense.Realising that three of the spikes on your five month old pair of Skechers are broken.

Reached 14th today before it started going wrong. Was 3 under gross then from 14th dropped 5 shots

When your playing partners automatically say "good shot", "nice strike", or "good pick up" (by the way, WTF does that mean?) as soon as you hit the ball on every shot, when actually it was a terrible strike and then you watch it slice into the trees.
Know what you mean. I struck it poorly at the weekend but if it went forward and hit the fairway off the tee or hit the green on an approach the PP's would say "good shot". Not it wasn't. I got lucky and I know it wasn't right. I think a lot of players are ingrained to a degree to make a polite comment on their PP's shots

Being free to play again this weekend for the first time since Christmas but the forecast is for rain and 35 to 60 mph winds. ?

Thing is, most often it is you alone who knows what you were looking to achieve and the sort of strike you looking to do to make the ball achieve that objective.
I can hit what looks like an excellent shot, but if it was not what I meant to do or if it came off the 'wrong' part of the clubhead then I should not be happy with the shot. I can accept the outcome and still not be happy with how I achieved it. And that is a very different mindset from how I used to think. But no onlooker is going to know any of that...they just see the outcome.

I'm not sure, but it's the ends of the little spikes that are breaking. I think the material just isn't strong enough. (Photo attached.) Just annoying - I've tried to contact Skechers to see what they say about it. Worst of all, I just found out my missus bought them through Sports Direct who can be a bit of a pain to deal with.

To be honest, that's not going to cause you any problems with grip..I wouldnt worry about it and if you are then just get some replacements
Not worth the time or effort trying to get some softspikes out of SD.

I just think it's shoddy that they've only lasted 5 months and three of them have broken like that? Wasn't going to bin them or anything if I don't get a decent response.

Do you change your shoes in the car park or use them at the Driving Range? Unfortunately those spikes do not do well on tarmac etc, I found they didn’t last too long if subjected to too much concrete etc.
