As essential as clubs and balls, golf shoes provide traction and stability during the golf swing. For walkers, a good pair of golf shoes are your best friends. And for those of you who are styling, shoes can complete the outfit. Doug Sanders, the PGA Tour legend known as the Peacock of the Fairways, had many hundreds of shoes in all the colors of the rainbow. You could too.
New 2008 Footjoy Closeouts At Golf Locker
My friends at Golf Locker have a huge new selection of 2008 Footjoy closeouts. Here’s your chance to pick up this year’s models at terrific prices.
FootJoy Pathfinder Walking Shoes
As we all know, FootJoy makes some very comfortable golf shoes. As it turns out, they also make men’s walking shoes
Why not? I can walk for miles in complete comfort in my golf shoes. All they had to do to make walkers was to take off the spikes.
I may get a pair of these. Now that I’m back at work, and the days are getting shorter, I go back to walking a mile or so at twilight for exercise in lieu of playing golf.
Adidas ClimaCool Flylite Golf Shoes
Adidas ClimaCool Flylite Golf Shoes
For those hot, sweaty summer days, Adidas offers the ClimaCool Flylite Golf Shoes. Designed for breathability, they feature a synthetic mesh upper, ventilation holes and moisture wicking.
Needless to say, they’re not in the least bit waterproof.
They’re also designed to be lightweight, which appeals to the walker in me. The midsole also offers something called adiPrene, which is supposed to improve response in the footbed, for better weight transfer and balance.
These are on my short list for purchase this summer.
Bite Golf Trekker Shoes
BITE Golf Trekker Spikeless - Aztec / Wheat / Black
The Bite Golf Trekker spikeless shoes are designed to be an all-in-one solution to golf travel. Not only can you wear these on your day trips; you also can use them on the course, thanks to the strategically placed, angled lugs that offer traction both on the course, and on the trail
I wish I had a pair of these when I took the family to California last summer. I could have saved packing the extra shoes.
Bite Golf Boot
A couple of background thoughts:
A couple of years ago I bought a pair of Snake Eyes branded golf shoes manufactured by Bite Golf. They were on sale, and I liked the way they fit. And after wearing them on the course, I liked the way they felt when I walked the course, too. They’re made of a sort of neo-leather, however, and get a bit hot on the feet, so I mostly wear them in the spring.
Then there were the Adidas Mudskipper golf boots that I saw online a couple of years ago, but was never able to find at a retailer. They looked like the perfect thing for a Michigan spring. But
Then I accidentally ran across these Bite Golf boots when looking online for information about the new Callaway HX Bite balls.
These look like they might do the trick for that early spring league I’m playing in. They’ve got a waterproof exterior and a waterproof liner. The collar and tongue are well padded—I could tuck my pants in when its muddy. And they’ve got all the usual golf shoe features, like FastTwist spikes, traction teeth and lateral support.
