Lite Golf Shoes vs. “Heavy” Golf Shoes vs. Shoes!
Call me old fashioned (as some have been known to do) but I cannot get past these “lite” golf shoes looking like trainers with spikes! Trainers are really comfortable – that’s what they were made to be – but so were “heavy” golf shoes (just read all the blurb). Some of the reviews that we have posted here say that they have put on heavier golf shoes out of the box and have worn them for 18 holes with no problems.
So maybe I’m behind the times in two ways! (i) I think real shoes hurt when you first wear them - like the clssic leather welt shoes that fit like a glove but only after you have worn them in. The last pair of regular shoes which were comfotable from the mail order box were soft but rubbish in the long run. So should I conclude that golf shoes are just made better than ordinary shoes (they certainly think about them more) and so should I buy golf shoes for ordinary wear and just take out the spikes?! (ii) I think golf shoes shoud be “heavy” especially for Autumn/Winter/Spring. Am I wrong? Am I just uncomfortable with the “contemporary” look?
