As readers may have noticed, I’ve got a bit behind at Golf Shoes Blog recently. I saved this picture of the range of Footjoy Sports golf shoes and made no notes…
Meantime, they look what we used to call “snazzy”. Obviously styled for the younger more “sporty” golfer, though I’m sure thatwhen I check the spec, they’ve got all the bells and whistles. (full grain leather, athletic mesh, 2 yr warranty, Stinger champ spikes.
By the way the FJ site describes these as “crossover” golf shoes.
These rather wittily named PRO PGP05v0912R CUSTOM golf shoes are in fact called Pro Vader – after Darth? To be honest I don’t know what’s going on here… I had a pleasant comment from Joan from Pescador Tailored Shoes, telling me about their golf shoes. They make dress and golf shoes – like those shown here. The shoes that Joan chose to illustrate her point (that spikes give the traction) actually have 16 spikes! According to their website (where you can order your shoes after a self-measuring exercise) you can order the spikes like these or only on the perimeter – if you’re a slower, more controlled swinger. (That must be the 12.)
Buy them now and they’re on sale at just €135. With calf skin uppers and pig skin linings, with rubber soles, all the designs are crazy (good crazy) like these. The company seems to be Spanish, which would explain style(and the language oddnesses), though they have outlets in Hong Kong and Bangkok too. It sounds like a fun company to work for!
To see the golf shoes seen, in 360 degrees, look at the video.
And the sister (brother) shoes have 16 spikes to each sole too. And the best are in a white snake/crocodile effect calf skin. Fantastico! Next time…
Following my mention of Tip Tee Toe golf shoes (boy that’s hard to remember and type – though I bet they think it’s easy because they’re used to it!) I’ve had several comments and mails about these wedge-heeled golf shoes for ladies.
They now have their own website – not surprisingly called TipTeeToe (though the large “Patent pending” is not the usual greeting you get on a home page. Here they tell us the advantages of the wedge – let alone the colourfulness.
They say the wedge “creates proper knee flex throughout the swing and promotes an easier weight transfer to the back heel in the backswing and front toes in the downswing to impact. The back knee remains flexed, thus avoiding any lock and retaining a powerful position and having the back heel elevated at impact helps to square the hips and clubface, thus making more solid contact.”
One of the any comments that we had endorses the claims – though you never know how a cynic can sometimes think these come from PR hacks! She said: Saw these TIP TEE TOE golf shoes at the 2010 PGA Show. Every color imaginable. Incredible fit and comfort and available in 90 days. At Demo Day some girl was having a great time wearing them and hitting the ball a ton. Seemed to have solid footing and looked good, too.
Another comment gives an email address for more details (see original post) but I don’t know why that’s not the one on the website (unless it was only meant for me!).
These “New Age” shoes on Amazon (see our US Amazon store) are from $50 – or funnily enough they’re £50 upwards at their UK store. At that exchange rate you’d better buy them in the US.
Available in B&W as shown, brown & white as well as all black. I prefer the brown & white out of the three.
The main point of difference seems to be the oversized Big Bertha spike (right) said to deliver the ultimate in traction (along with the oversize they are asymmetrical to provides more power and performance.) They are positional – but I don’t know if that means you have to screw them in on the exact turn?
More Golf-Shoe-Tech&spec: Moisture wicking linings/breathable waterproof systems they are engineered to keep your feet dry and comfortable in all conditions/waterproof leather and “Rainsport” membrane for dryness.
What the “new age” bit is I’m not sure. They look good but only a variation on a theme, surely, apart from the spikes? Good value depending on the exchange!
We received a comment recently on the Ben Hogan extra spike piece on Golf Shoes Blog stating ” I just found the article about the 12 spikes very interesting as I am the only golf shoe manufacturer making a fine leather welted golf shoe with the 12th spike right here in the US. There is a great deal to learn from the Great Ben Hogan.” This was from a Warren.
So I tried to find these golf shoes and I did but the website gave no indication of where, how much or how to buy. Odd! Warren get in touch!
Want A Fashion & Brand Conscious Pair of Golf Shoes?
I have to apologise to anyone making the effort to read Golf Shoes Blog because recently I’ve been very quiet and almost invisible. Xmas, winter, New Year, getting fat, starting to diet, the snow and the sledging – (a ten year event fo us), a couple of other bits of business to attend to plus a little January sloth… and suuddenly you’re out of the habit!
So slightly lazily, I’ll just show you these shoes. They look good but I have not done the research. Sorry.
You can find them in our Amazon Golf Shoe shop (click that or use the tab at the top right hand corner. The cost is $85 ish depending on size.
And I promise that soon I’ll raise my game and get golf shoe blogging properly!
Firstly belated season’s greetings form Golf Shoes Blog. I’ve had a bit of a rest from golf shoes and blogging for the season and I’m as rusty at this now as I was in my two rounds of golf that I played over the season.
I gave my eldest son my Callaway XTT golf shoes as he had none and he and I played round in our respective Callaways – me in my Hyperbolics.
Our shoes were muddy – unlike the picture here when they were new – but inside dry and comfortable. He loves them.
After Xmas we had a bigger family game – Grandpa, two sons and my son. Me and grandpa lost! Talking of lost, he has, since I posted about them on Golf Shoes Blog, lost his Stuburts with mismatched laces.
So now that I’m back in the seat I have to think of wht to do with Golf Shoes Blog. How can it be better in 2010? Less waffle and more golf shoe reviews or maybe mor waffle? Who knows… I know that I have a lot of news-releases in my inbox to digest and post about.
And what about you? Fancy some new golf shoes or do you have some golf shoes that you want to tell us about? Go on – make my new year…
You Can’t Read The Word “Golf” Today Without A Tiger Context
Well my idea of Tiger re-grouping away from the spotlight seems to have been taken on board… and I didn’t know that he read Golf Shoes Blog!
All the talk is about sponsorships as they start to fall away, though his golf shoe sponsor Nike is supporting him. Quite right too. Some of the media is saying that as blokes play golf he’ll be alright but you should read some of the comments from the US “moral majority” (minority one hopes) – it’s very “moral”.
I saw a great quote which I’ve slipped in an extra word (golf) to make it more salient… “Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their (golf) shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their (golf) shoes”. Thanks Mr Anonymous, for that one. I’m not sure 100% which way the sentiment of that goes but it made me smile.
Apparently Ben Hogan had extra spikes put in his golf shoes for extra grip. Famous for his big and accurate 1 irons, he would have needed the extra purchase on the tee. That make sense except in finding that out, I didn’t find out how many spikes the shoes came with. Or how many extra spikes he had.
The ad on the left is from 1959 and I can only assume that by this time when he had his name on these “Power Driving Golf Shoes” that they too had more spikes than any others as part of their appeal.
