A recent comment received by Golf Shoes Blog read “I love the Parker McClain golf shoes, but can not find any where to buy them. Please advise. The web site http://parkermcclainltd.com/ shows all of the shoes but no place to buy them”.

Well I’m afraid that I can’t add to this.  The web site shows nothing else but the shoes – not even a contact number!  Maybe I’ll investigate further through top secret sources*… Watch this space…

*One of them failed:  The website registration is not available either…

As previously seen on Golf Shoes Blog as the shoes of Miguel Angel Jiminez… and now here’s a little video promo with some extra info about these traditionally hand made (and made in Ialy) shoes,

If you want to have a pair of shoes that’s a little bit more special…

Way back in December ‘08 we made mention of Botticelli golf shoes.  And since then we’ve heard very little about their on-line activities. I had an email from them months ago entertining a new retail site in late November 2009: Well it is to all intents and purposes late November now.  I’ve mailed them for an update and I await a reply…

However there is a US site selling the Botticelli golf shoes on line already and I wonder if this is the site we’ve been awaiting. If you like you can go there now and buy these Augusta shoes for around the $650 mark.  Ostrich of course…

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.
