I bought myself new a pair of golf shoes recently and figured i would share my thoughts on them and maybe help someone who is in need of a new pair themselves. So this is a small review from me (and also the first one i've ever done so bare with me).
In the box
Out of the box
And the TRAXION sole
Adidas have have built this shoe on their Powerband chassis to give the golfer more stability and balance through the swing. It has been also been equipped with their CLIMAPROOF technology to let the shoe breath which i'm pretty sure you are all familiar with. The shoe has also been equipped with adiTUFF (to prolong the lifetime of the shoe due to higher durability in the toe and prevents abrasion due to toe drag) and their TRAXION sole. The Powerband Grind shoe also has the THINTech technology which is intended to get the golfer closer to the ground with a thinner sole and softspike and thus give the player better a better platform to stand on and get better overall performance on the course.
When i was looking for a new pair of golf shoes i looked for a pair of FootJoy (because a friend of mine told me they were good) but the guy at the store insisted on me trying a pair of Adidas shoes and told me "they were so much better". And since i was on a tight budget i thought why not since they cost less than the other shoes i had been looking at. First impression was "damn that's a sexy shoe" and when i tried them i fell in love. They were so comfortable there in the store i just had to buy them. The only thing to remark on from my first encounter with them is that the sizes are pretty small, so if you havn't tried the Adidas golf shoes before you might want to go up one size if you are thinking about ordering a pair online. I had to go up from a 9 to a 10.
So, how did they feel after a few hours of walking? They felt great. The thing that hit me was that it felt like i had been using these shoes for quite some time already because of the good fit. They felt like those shoes you have had for a year or two that have been shaped for your foot. So i am pleasantly surprised about the fit. They held the foot in place, felt firm but yet soft since the shoe itself is flexible in contrast to the other ones i have used that have been really hard and stiff in the fabric and sole until i've used them for a month or two. Since the sole is so thin i was worried that my knees would start to hurt due to the "lack of" cushion but they are a joy to wear. And i am also impressed with the grip of these shoes on the ground, really felt like i didn't lose power in the swing due to slippery shoes and they really held me in place. I would be stupid not to recommend these shoes for those who are looking for new ones!
I will update this thread later on with some long term thoughts.
Feel free to ask questions!
