So my sp-8's are about done. I love those shoes, but I'm always on the lookout for a better pair. What shoes would you buy if you had a budget of $80? I just want some thoughts. THanks.

tour 360 II

Should be able to find some powerband's for that price. They are great shoes, and more comfortable for me than the tour 360's.

Powerbands

Go on eBay or a discount internet retailer. You should be able to get Powerbands for sure, but you will likely be able to find some other stuff.

Right now, golflocker.com has closeout FJ Reelfits from last year for $80. There are tons of deals out there.

Over the winter I scored a pair of "blemished" Tour 360 3.0s for $70.

Shoes are one thing that I won't pay retail for.

Powerbands, they are $79.99 and if you can snag a coupon from Golfsmith or GG you can get them for as low as $60.00

+1..... What they said.....great shoe.

SP 8.5s, Air Tour Spectator, Powerbands, Dryjoys Tech

Powerband
SP-8.5

Nike Zoom Elites from last year 79.99 or 89.99 on closeout right now. Most stable shoe I've ever worn on the golf course.

Adidas Euro Torsion. Great shoe, can be had cheap. I got mine for $45 at a pro shop. They are in rotation with my Foot-Joy SYNR-G's. The SYNR-G's are for colder weather and the Torsions are awesome in hot weather.

powerband sports and dryjoy pods for me, both were closeouts

There are alot of good bargains for golf shoes out there right now, but, you got get shoes that fits your feet.

Powerbands

Fjoy reelfits

I'm going to jump on the bandwagon here and say Powerband. Golfsmith has it on clearance right now, and if you buy the white/white combo it's also eligible for the %15 off $50 coupon. The coupon doesn't work for the other color combo's however.

Wow, overwhelming response. I was talking to a co-worker today and know on tgw you can get an r7 limited + a pair of powerbands for 199. I think I might jump on that. Thanks for all your input.

One question: for all you who love the powerbands have you tried the sp8s? I think they are the most comfortable pair of shoes I've ever owned.

Also I had the reelfits and the knob on the back broke after 4 months and footjoy wouldn't fix them. jerks. I won't be going with those again.

If you buy a R7 limited, you can get a pair of powerband sports free from Taylormade golf.

I just bought a pair of powerband sports and, they seem fairly comfortable. Its a different shoe from the powerband. I did try on a pair of powerband 2.0, but, the synthetic material on the outside shoe poked my foot when I took a step. I would suggest you try on whatever pair you intend to purchase, as your feet are unique to you.
