We’ve Seen These Golf Shoes before – Are There Any Other “Luxury” Golf Shoes?
Look back in time and you can see a piece on (£5000) hand made John Lobb golf shoes and there’s a lot ofpeople out there marvelling at them just now. Their angle (the folk who marvel) is what’s the best and most expensive of anything – so they love these!
But who else that we can find makes so called “luxury” golf shoes. Well some places call Callaway luxury. Now I have a new pair of Callaway Tour Authentic Exotic Chev golf shoes (kindly sent by the nice people at Callaway for me to review) that I’m about to put a post onto Golf Shoes Blog. I will tell all soon but I’m not sure that I’d call them luxury(don’t get me wrong they are fantastic and beautifully made of beatiful materials and I did make everybody I met, when I was wearing them, feel the leather inside which did feel like luxury). (The trouble was that being like a well made pair of welted leather shoes built to last they gave me blisters on my heels – just like proper shoes used to do before “wear-them-from-the-box” arrived.) Enough side-tracking…
Actually there has to be more side-tracking because apart from the golf shoes we’ve seen before (see them under other golf shoes brands) or the top of the range classic end golf shoes from all the top makes such as FootJoy, Ecco, Stuburt, Callaway (…wait for another to complain that I didn’t mention them) there aren’t any new ones that I can think of or find.
Oh no! Don’t tell me my jobs done and I still know so little. No it’s not, I just have to work harder!
And never forget Michael Toschi golf shoes! Seen on th right another version of the GI golf shoe, here in green with croc saddle with Italian calf upper, kidskin lining and ”CONTAC” outsole. Made in Italy (Does a shoe made in the “West” make it a luxury item?!) Cost… $550.
