Golf Random Irritations

[sjw]

Might just be a sizing issue with that design. Sometimes with trainers I really want I have to either get them wide enough but slightly too long, or the right length but slightly too narrow - guess my feet are quite wide. Right length but too narrow is usually the mistake and they can be a bit sore after a lot of walking.

I think that's probably what it is. It's very stiff leather, and I have quite wide feet, so I'm thinking there's a balance I can't quite get right, like my foot can't get far enough into the shoe due to the width so I'm pressed up against the back or something odd like that. They're not obviously too small, they feel fine at first but after about 10, 20 minutes I'm like nope, here we go again. They'd probably be fine in a hot country using a buggy, but as you know I walk and carry so when my foot is agony after 4 holes it ain't fun.


I realise I said heel in my earlier post - the blister is on the back of my achilles, it's the top of the back that rubs

Yeah I have a pair of brown shoes where I made a mistake with the size and they rubbed the top of my heel. I got two plasters but stuck them inside the shoes rather than sticking them to myself each time I wear them. This has worked ok as I wear them very infrequently anyway.

I did think while writing it that they wouldn't end up selling on the forum!

It's not particularly about the money or anything and I have another pair I can wear, it's just a shame to have them sitting around and I do like the look of them. It's also unusual as I've had other Adidas shoes of similar variety (Sambas, Gazelles etc, albeit not golf shoes) and they are some of the most comfortable I've ever owned.

Yeah too often I found myself inbetween sizes on adidas and they're kinda narrow.
Switched to under armour about 10yrs back and happy as a pig in poo since then
