golf shoes-what do you wear?

[Simbo]

I'm currently looking for a new pair of shoes, after 2 pairs of adidas 360's im going to try a different brand, the reason being i think the adidas are absolute crap at keeping water out! both pairs iv had have leaked considerably, but they are extremely good when its dry-very comfy. i also have apair of footjoys that are the waterproof kind(made of rubber) whilst these keep the water out they are nowhere near as comfy as the adidas.

so im looking for something in between the 2 extremes, what do you wear and how do you rate them?/

I wear footjoy sport and they are like laying in a pair of slippers. Had no problems with blisters and would recommend them to anybody, bit pricey though they were a birtday present off the wife and kids.

I wear FJ AQL's and they are great. Stylish, comfortable, lots of support and totaly waterproof.

Nike 2010 TW for me... had a pair of Nike Elite from a couple of years ago and they were very comfy and durable.

I was going to try footjoy, but due to problems getting them i ended up going back to Nike. Kind of happy i did.

If you know your size, give these guys a try... best service i've had from any golf retailer.

Another vote for AQL's here.

Just to get the blood circulating amongst the older members, I wear one orange trainer and one tartan carpet slipper

FJ dryjoys for me - as comfy as the tartan carpet slipper.

Any chance of killing & burying this thread before Homer gets in?

I use AQL's and Dryjoys. Both very good , waterproof and comfy , never had a leakage with either.

Dryjoys for me great shoe and a little more trendy IMHO than the AQL

I have just picked up some Adidas Tour 360 3.0 for £60. I've had FJ's and they are ok, the leather on the SYNR-G's is soft, yeah great for your feet but not for them cracking and spliting from the sole and so not lasting a long time. I've had Ecco Ultra's and they had a defect when the sole split which where sent back..

If your feet get wet learn to stay on the fairway

Dryjoys for me. Extremely comfortable.

Adidas Adipure for me. Comfy, waterproof and very stylish what more could you ask for??

I just got a pair of Dryjoy Pods and they are super. The only problem is I got them after having a rant about the blatant FJ advertising on here ... sublimenal thoughts maybe.

Too late matey. I'm an FJ whore although down to my last six pairs at the moment. They are brilliant straight out of the box (especially the dryjoys) and I've never had an issue with splitting or leaking. I've only just retired a pair of dryjoys that lasted nearly ten years but with some TLC have played hundreds of rounds.

Footjoy Myjoys (Dryjoys)....fit like a glove

AQL's. really comfy shoe.

Adidas Innolux for me, very waterproof, very comfy and a damn good price too!:

Footjoys seem to be the bog's dollocks and favoured by the majority of the PGA Tour, if you believe their advertising.

Mine are Etonics, but that's mainly because it's all the pro shop I visited stocked at the time. Nice all black leather with the Q-Fit spike system. Never caused me any problems and largely look after themselves rain, hail or shine. Even when they were collecting dust in the garage for a few years -- jumped straight back into service without any issues.

And the single colour means I don't look like an extra from Staying Alive.

Dryjoys here too. Last ages and incredibly comfortable.

New pair of AQL's seeing their first rounds next week - the other pair goes into retirement. They've worked hard but they're still wearable.
