Most people wouldn't wear chinos or trousers down the shops, normally it's jeans which can look smart with a pair of high tops... Nothing beats a pair of yeezys with a shellsuit though 😂

I prob play in average about 200 rounds a year - mainly use soft spikes and they last me - Pro SL and the Skechers. There is a reason why most were soft moulded spikes these days - comfort. I have had a pair of Dryjoys and Icons - found them very uncomfortable, gave the Dryjoys away after a couple of months and sent the Icons back when they started to leak after 5 months ( replaced with Pro SL )

High tops are horrendous, if you wouldn't wear chinos with the trainers because they look bad why would you wear the golf ones with them

The pro/Sl are terrible . Lasted me 3 months, also not much lateral foot support after they are broken in. Good if you are sponsored to wear them though

I had some skechers summer shoes. Used them 6 days a week for 2 years. Lasted really well.
Only replaced them because we got some footjoy SL to use.

I'd more question why you'd wear chinos when not playing golf unless it's for work or a dressed up night out...
Good old fashion pair of Converse or Vans high tops could be worn easily with chinos or jeans alike.
You could wear the golf ones with them purely for comfort, ankle support or might just like them. It's no different to someone asking you why you choose to wear the golf shoes you do. Because you like them and find them comfortable, which is exactly why everyone else chooses the shoes they do.

Saw some nice Skecher shoes in your place not long ago when I came up to use the range, I was sorely tempted but then realised Mrs Wolf had invested in a nice new pair for me for Christmas so I may have a jaunt back to your shop for a nice summer pair
I don't think i've ever owned a pair of shoes or trainers for general use of golf that have been discarded due to being unfit for purpose. Probably own 8 pairs of golf shoes which will make there way to my dad when i fancy a new shiny pair.
If someone is worried about what provides best value when playing over 100 rounds in em they are worrying over nothing imo. You'll probably spend more on ball, mars bars and bottle of pop in that amount of time!

Lol wearing those with trousers is a fashion crime, I'm not even fashion conscious but wouldn't wear them on the course for that reason
I wear chinos far more often than jeans now. I'm happy wearing a £10 pair of chinos from primark for a few months then throwing em away, £10 jeans from primark. No thanks!

£10 pair of of jeans from primark would probably only last a couple weeks, my dad made that mistake when he went away last year he forgot to take his jeans so bought a pair of cheap primark ones for his trip they didn't make the end of the Fortnight so I'd definetly agree there 😂

Out of interest, how do you put more wear on a shoe than the average guy? More rounds or special shoe busting move?

Play at least twice a week, also spend at least an hour practicing at least 6 days a week

Matalan is your friend. I’ve got 7 pairs of skinny legs chinos from there (down with the kids or whatðŸ‘) they aren’t the most robust especially when carrying, hence the 7 pairs but they’re 12 quid a pair

Twice a week is not the 200 rounds in 7 weeks you said earlier....?

200 rounds in 7 weeks... Without consulting a calculator wouldn't that be 28 rounds a week.... That would have to be some going 😂

Thought similar to be fair 😂 said nothing though
I said 40 times per year for 5 years
Now I’m not a mathematician but I’m sure that’s around the 200 mark...
7 weeks...
Hmmm
Edit- just re read.
He said in a year.
Still 2 rounds per week for 7 weeks is still only 14 rounds.
Not the 40 as claimed

Your clearly not very sharp, 2 or 3 times a week for 7 weeks let's call it 18 rounds over 7 weeks. Lots of practice, playing 4/5 holes. I put shoes through what you put them in a YEAR in 7ish weeks. Pretty sure I did say a year.
