Playing in Wellies

[Beedee]

I need a new pair of waterproof shoes and winter is closing in. I've been thinking about the "boot" style shoes that a few of the manufacturers make, but I've wondered how confortable they are and particularly how much they affect ankle movement in the swing. Anyone have any experience of them?

Have been using Footjoy winter boots for at least 4 winters. Can't say I've felt any difference in comfort from the Ecco shoes I wear in Spring and Summer.

Decent choice https://www.clubhousegolf.co.uk/acatalog/Golf_Boots.html (although some seem eye watering expensive) and good to see they appear to have cleats on the bottom. Last time I searched some were still sold with spikes. I have no problem but sadly it seems in winter so many, especially wearing spikes seem unable to lift their feet on greens and leave marks

In Germany, I saw golf wellies for sale. Green ones, with spikes.

great for a few holes.

What colour socks would you wear

The Footjoy Winter boots are great. Bought some last winter and they're super comfortable and more importantly keep your feet dry and warm.

I have the Nike Vapor Storm boots. They look stupid, a bit like wellies, but are warm, and waterproof. I also use them as walking boots.

I was putting them on in the foyer of a hotel in Cornwall, and a rather well spoken lady referred to them as novelty footwear, which is true.

Yeah, they look ridiculous, they're the least cool golf shoes you can buy, but boy do they work in winter, makes playing through winter so much more bearable.

I have no qualms about them, although taste wise they don't do a lot for me. I would rather use my winter FJ's and a pair of waterproof socks over my normal golf socks. Looking at some of the prices I showed some come with a hefty tag which would also put me off
