I just made my own pair of TW14's but give up on the last step... Entering my card details for a £190 pair of golf shoes :rofl:

Like the look of them, and the adizero, and the new FJ's too .... if anything the fact that they look nothing like a pair of golf shoes is good.
Can't imagine what rules and tradition these might be breaking though

Perhaps they should design a new pair of football boots with a footjoy classic look about them

That's the bit I never understand Hovis, unless everyone is still running around looking like Tom Morris with the 3 piece suit on then tradition has been broken with every new generation of clothing and/or equipment.

The TW range is based on Nike's Free Run running shoes. Performance wise, no shoe touches the TW's.
Albert was referring to Adizeros...

Performance wise ? In what way is performance measured in a golf shoe ?

I just don't want plastic golf shoes. I just don't. No idea why. I like leather shoes. For work, for leisure, for any thing except running really. When I want goretex.

I Like to differentiate between shoes that I wear for different occasions, for golf, I prefer the more classic look, shoes I'm after next would be something in the style of the Mizuno MP

Not keen on those new Nikes, they remind me of cheap Hi-Tecs from Wynsors.

I like them, but I own a pair of green white & black Nike Dunk golf shoes / trainers... or monstrosities as some have described them

Let's be honest.
They are a trainer.
A trainer with a few Soft Spikes in the sole.
Are they shoes? No IMO.
My view is correct attire for every sport. IMHO golf shoes should be exactly that, shoes. Not training shoes.
Do Basketball players wear Astro-Turf boots? Do Footballers wear Squash trainer? Do Tennis players wear Football boots? No, they wear the correct footwear for their sport, often attire that is covered in the sports dress code.
Golf has a dress code (... Let's not get started on that one
) and that dress code includes trousers and a shirt. Or to put it another way. If you were going anywhere that required you wore trousers and a shirt would you wear trainers with that attire or would you wear shoes?
Just because X, Y or Z wears them on tour doesn't make it right either. They are paid/sponsored to wear such things. If someone came to me and said we'lll pay you £1,000,0000 a season to wear these shoes, am I going to say no
FWIW those Nike pumps look rank and hardly worth the price tag.

Golf doesn't have a dress code. Some clubs insist on a dress code. Very different things.

Not really. I can play golf in whatever I want with no restrictions but some places want me to wear a specific set of clothes (which I have no problem with) but to say that GOLF requires me to wear a certain standard of clothing is wrong IMO.
Anyway I think the shoes are OK maybe not my cup of tea but hey ho.
