Homer when you say they are going strong - how much creasing do you have. A little bit of me wonders if I need to look at different style golf shoe... I'm thinking a leather brogue style would crease less due to the stitching across the toe...

They all crease to a degree, especially where the foot bends and historically this has been where my shoes have split. None have gone that in the last five years and all are still going strong. Regular polishing and dubbing seems to keep the leather nice and supple

Kid we were obviously cut from the same cloth on the footy boot front 😂😂😂

I might need to try a pair of Eccos heard lots of good things about them. It's interesting that the vote is showing a preference for leather over synthetic. I wonder if it's the smell. Can't beat the waft of a brand new leather shoe 😉👍



It say so pal. Funnily I think I finished my career playing Nikes.
I definitely had them on when I ruptured the Right Achilles...
Can't blame the boots though.. 😂😂
