Golf Shoe Tips - Don’t Go Cheap

My post about my new golf shoe object de lust got me to thinking about a few of the things I’ve learned about golf shoes over the years.

Over the next few days, I’m going to try and let you in on a few of the lessons I’ve learned. Some were easy and some were not so easy.

For today, we’re going to talk about price & quality.

Here’s the key - DO NOT GO CHEAP !

Your feet will never forgive you for buying golf shoes that only last a few months before they are killing them.

They have to fit or they will make your round of golf a pain, instead of a pleasure.

Blister’s have a way of making you remember the pain and not that 33 foot putt for birdie that broke 3 feet from left to right.

Are more expensive golf shoes worth the price ? Yes.

They have been engineered to have the highest quality and have features that the less expensive models don’t have. You get what you pay for.

They should have a high-quality leather in the uppers, the newest moisture control technology and outsoles that flex as you walk and swing.

A comfortable spike system is also an absolute must. Try them on and walk around the store.
If they feel like you’re walking on nails, stilts or stubs, put ‘em back in the box and yell ” Next! “.

Here’s another tip that fits well with today’s tip…..Buy a second pair.

Why ? Because you deserve it and so do your feet.

If you play on consecutive days or play 36 holes one day, switch ‘em out and you’ll thank me for it later. Not only will your feet thank you, your shoes will last longer. they need time to rid themselves of the moisture your feet give off.

Also, some days you just want to look like Mike Tyson with black golf shoes and no socks and some days you want to be a throwback and wear white with little footies.

As we go thru my entire list of tips, go by some of the online retailers and/or your local golf shops. It’s the time of year for a sale and you need a couple of pairs. Don’t you ?
