As golf is my main hobby I don’t mind spending a bit of money on the equipment I use. Previously I had always bought Adidas golf shoes. I’ve had 4 pairs of the Adidas 360 shoe in various versions and limited editions, but after around 12 months of heavy use each of them has split or started leaking. Adidas are good enough to offer a replacement pair within 12 months if your shoes start letting in water but having done this twice I decided it was time to try out a different make. It was the first day in Cornwall last week when it rained and my Adidas shoes got wet through. I knew they wouldn’t be dry by the next morning so set myself to buy some new ones.
In the Pro Shop at Launceston they had the brand new Nike Air TW 2010 golf shoes.

As soon as I tried these on I was surprised at how rigid they felt. I actually thought they’d be too stiff to walk in but it turned out not to be a problem. This stiffness does certainly help add a lot of stability when swinging a golf club. Putting my old shoes on now makes me feel like I am trying to swing a golf club while standing on jelly!
I’ve not had to take time to wear the shoes in either, they have fitted like a glove from day one with zero blisters. They are quite honestly the most comfortable golf shoe I’ve ever owned.
We’ll have to see whether this stiffness and stability of the shoe remains as I wear it more – I’ll certainly report back here in a few months. If you don’t mind spending money on your golf equipment I’d definitely suggest checking these shoes out. I’m even considering getting them in white now!
