New Golf Shoes Reviewed & Score Well!
These may well be my favourite golf shoes at the moment. Is the fact that I scored well important? I don’t know but it can’t hurt can it. Are the golf shoes responsible? Partly. But to business…
Remember how the Golf Shoes Blog Review & Rate Scoring goes…
In each of the following seven categories the golf shoes get marks out of 7… 1: Comfort & Fit 2: Dryness & Breathing 3: Grip & Spikes/Cleats 4: Performance & Contribution to swing 5: Style & Design 6: Price & Value For Money and 7: Personal Feel & Happiness. BUT the average (4) would be as you’d expect for a QUALITY golf shoe.
So the XTT Callaways, as pictured here, before I started – brand new out of the box. COMFORT/FIT great right out of the box with only one minor hesitation tht they wore a bit on one of my heels but I think that was an old blister by these shoes’ brothers (the Exotic Chev & that’s another story) and when I took them off and put my regular shoes back on, I fely all heavy footed! ~ 4 pts. DRYNESS/BREATHING great though it was a dry day but a swelteringly sweaty one for May. But the feet were not uncomfortble so good for comfrt in that respect ~ 5 pts. GRIP/CLEATS no problems at all but as expected so ~ 4 pts: PERFORMANCE/SWING great with hardly thinking about them BUT as I said I had one of my best rounds for a year or two (though I was experimenting a bi with the overlocking grip which helped too ~ 5 pts.
STYLE/DESIGN I like them both the top and the bottom. I wasn’t really dressed for them or vice-versa but they held their own and had admiring looks. Plus they still look new after their first round so better than average ~ 5 pts. PRICE & VFM at around $150 (or save a cent for what seems to be the MRRP) they are fair ~ 4 pts. Lastly the little wiggle for personal preference (FEEL & HAPPINESS) is looking good because they did help me win 5 up! So I’m feeling generous ~ 6 pts!
TOTAL SCORE 33 points. Well done to Callaways for a great pair of golf shoes! Coming next… Callaway Hyperbolic X
