Have been arm twisted into buying a shoe for Father's Day (it did not take much effort). I need to replace my Adidas which have started leaking. I have the £20 voucher Direct-golf from last month, but am wondering if people have seen anything cheaper than £110 online?
 
The cheapest option is to buy a different shoe - better out there than the DNA's. If you like adidas then look at the ATV
 
Cheapest DNA price I've seen is £130 or £110 with the Direct Golf discount. £130 seems to be the going rate. As Phil says there are other shoes out there which are similar and cheaper. I got a pair of |Nike Lunar II's and have been very pleasantly surprised.
 
The one thing that I liked about the FJ is the 'wide' fit. I have always worn regular till I checked it out at a FJ fitting. Was surprised to see the difference. But I cant find a Wide one in stock anywhere (at a decent price)

My pro shop had a FJ Sport sale and found a 8W size.. So imagine my frustration that they could only find the Left shoe and a 6.5W for the Right foot. There is someone out there who is wearing a mismatched shoe...

Better shoes than the DNA and you should be able to pick up Dryjoys cheaper. Not a fan of Adidas after having various issues and problems with sizing so FJ all the way for me

Haven't looked at the DryJoys yet... I liked the FJ Sport one - seems like I like the sneaker style rather than old traditional leather-esque shoe. BTW, where have all the XPS-1s disappeared, they were supposed to be the bees knees.

Adidas have being doing the "wide" fit for ages

My first pair of tour 360's about 4 years ago were a wide fit.

You will find every online shop will get Adidas in a wide fit

My Tour 360's were wide fit, Sport Direct have them in, or any of the Adidas outlet stores will do them as well.

Had a look on Sports Direct and similar to most stores, none of the give you the option of buying a wide fit online!! (Including the Adidas website)

According various pros I've spoken to the DNA has taken the qualities of the XPS-1 in terms of stability and they aren't being pushed anymore. They are available as a myjoy option still but I don't think many pro shops are still stocking them. Certainly none in Silvermere when I went recently (their pro confirmed the same thing). Maybe available online still. As mine were free I can't complain but they were never my favourite model

How did you get it free... was it part of the 'Buy 18 get 1 free' deal? :rofl: :rofl:

XPS-1 are £70 on Sports Direct website at the moment, got a pair a couple of weeks ago. Very impressed
 
I don't think I'll ever buy a pair of FJ ever again. Bought my xps end of January and didn't wear them until march when the better weather arrived. They've since been swapped twice as they keep leaking, the sole comes away slightly from the upper on the balls of both feet. Stability wise and everything else I love them, just not the wet feet. Only needs a bit of dew not even a downpour.

With SportsDirect, the challenge continues to be finding a 'Wide' fit. Had a look at the XPS-1 pics on Sports Direct, the space between the cleats seem to be fairly wide... is that your experience too?
