How waterproof are they, and how easy to keep clean?
Spikeless Shoes in Winter

Very easy to keep clean as there’s very little to them. And waterproof yes, sure there are pricier shoes that are better but they’re so comfy. I might have odd feet as always struggle with blisters or whatever but played about 50 rounds in these and they’re spot on

I wear white all year round. It is just they are much whiter in October when new than they are the following September.
i used to think spikeless were not for winter, but after finding them much better in frosty conditions (they don't ice up like spikes) i havn't worn any of my shoes with spikes in since.
I took this picture this morning. These are mine after playing in them all year, including yesterday

I’ve lost two cleats out mine, any more and it might count as spikeless, I think I have some spares somewhere...

May as well have taken a hammer to every mirror in the house
I've never heard that one before. Thankfully I'm not superstitious, although that might explain the quality of my golf ??Shoes on the table!!??

I’ve worn footjoy pro SLs through all seasons the last 2 years. I got them having got plantar faciatis through penetrating spikes on soft soles. I’m wearing stubbed boots as I’ve sprained my ankle twice in 5 weeks so need the extra support. Have to say I love them but definitely was happy with my FJs
Ecco S-Three, best shoes I’ve ever worn, in the dry, cold & wet.

Has anyone ever slipped while wearing spikeless and then had a pretty strong belief they wouldn't have made that same slip in soft spikes?

Ridiculous. I can't see how metal spikes provide more grip than plastic "stinger" type spikes.

I took the plunge last year and wore spikeless all through the winter. No issues. I think it depends on the type of spikeless shoes. Adidas Tour 360 or FJ pro SL have quite prominent moulded tread patterns which give good grip. The Puma treads are essentially like trainers so good for the summer but not sure I would trust them in winter.
To be honest, where it's wet and muddy and people slip on a downslope, I tend to think that is going to happen whatever the footwear.

i'd agree, the worste fall ive ever had was with metals in, made all the worse, by one shoe sticking in the ground as my feet hit the ground again

These are what I tend to use in the winter. The metal part is handy if the ground is hard and icy.

Several times. Particularly on slopes walking off tees. That's why I wear spikes when the ground is wet and not just in winter.

I wear the Inesis shoes, they're fully waterproof and spikeless in the sense that they don't have the large cleats, but the rubber spikes they use are a little longer and pointier than summer shoes, so they don't really feel like spikeless. Grip is good and I often find I've inadvertently picked up a few leaves on the bottom of them. So grippier than you might think. I don't miss not having the circular spoke thingies, and it means they're more comfortable when it's damp but still not that soft underfoot.
