inexpensive waterproof shoes recommendations

[drawboy]

I played Sunday in my Nike Heritage shoes and I ended up with trench foot. I have some footjoy aql's and I know this is going to sound daft but I dont want to wear them in muddy wet conditions, I'd rather save them for best. So can anyone recommend some cheap-ish shoes for our winter conditions,I dont want to spend a fortune on something for ploughing through mud in. Anyone seen owt decent on sale?

Are they soft spikes or regular?

 

[chrisd]

Depends - soft spikes in the slingbacks!

You aren't going to get anything much cheaper than AQL's if you want your feet to stay dry.
Shopping around on the 'net should bag you a pair for £40.00 or thereabouts.
Cheaper than that?
A couple of Tesco carrier bags you tightwad.

I'd rather use my best now and have dry feet than save them for summer and have trench foot, my fj sports were 75 quid but Sunday my feet were super warm and dry. It's in sh@t conditions you appreciate the money you have spent

cheap + waterproof = dream on

FJ Greenjoy if you want plastic shoes, probably swetter on the inside though

Stuburt golf boot, but would you dare to wear them

Instead of buying cheap use the AQL then get a new pair for next season

As already mentioned. Footjoy Greenjoys. I didn't find them any sweatier than most shoes and they hardly need any care at all. Ideal for winter use.

Put each foot in a plastic bag before puting your shoes on.

Realise my Footjoy AQL's are no longer waterproof after playing yesterday . Had them three years so not so bad i suppose. Had a look in the Pro shop today for some new shoes, but of course they have nothing in wide fittings.

AQL's are a good bet and will see you through the winter and let you keep the decent shoes for drier conditions next year

 

[USER1999]

Er, his decent shoes are the AQLs?

 

[drawboy]

You've talked me into it, I'll wear my AQL's for winter and treat myself to a new pair of FJ Icons for the summer months, suppose you have to open the purse once in a while eh!

 

[Basher]

You carry a purse DB???

 

[USER1999]

Do your self a favour, if you are buying shoes, give the icons a miss and go for dry joys. The best shoes, no matter the budget. I know, I've tried them all.

Hope you are right, as i have just bought a pair for £70 on ebay. Actually had them in a wide fitting . I will test them at Saunton next week, and report back.

DB, i have a pair of a/ql s that are 2 years old,as long as you clean and dry them,then give them a good polish they should still be ok come summer...

 

[EaseNgrace]

I paid £32.50 for my AQL's, if you could find some for that kind of price then at least you know it's quality rather than sweaty plastic ones.

stubert helium pro II £50 from onlinegolf, or £49.99 from affordable golf with a free t-shirt and free delivery

keep my feet dry and once on they are comfortable for me.

I've got the FJ Greenjoys and they are brilliant in the wet and the mud. Easy to look after as well.
