“Overall: Average shoe. Expensive. Nice Design. Extremely Narrow. Uncomfortable. There are much better options IMO.
Pros: A really good looking shoe. Nice spongy sole. Love the design that turns from golf shoe to a slide-in on the 19th hole. Due to issues some of which are described below, I had to return the shoes twice. The return process was easy but note that they charge a return fee that doesn’t appear to be disclosed anywhere. After 2 returns, I decided to cut my losses and just keep them.
Cons: Where do I begin. This shoe is incredibly narrow (or my feet have widened in the past 5 years). When wearing these, in order to allow my feet to breathe, I need to have the laces barely tight so as not to choke the bridge/arch of my foot.
The toe box at the tip/end of the laces is also very narrow and held by rigid eyelets so when I walk, the front toe box bends uncomfortably, pinching my foot. Kind of a deal breaker with a golf shoe!
The laces supplied with the shoe are barely long enough to lace the shoe for a normal person’s foot. Because of the narrowness of the shoe, I had to buy longer laces.
Finally, these shoes are incredibly expensive. A comparably priced pair of FootJoy or Puma branded shoes are much more comfortable and a better option.”
