Love my 360's! Only shoe that could replace footjoys for me. Sidenote, anyone else find they run a touch small? I have had to switch to wearing very thin socks (Underarmor Streakers) to best fit these shoes.

Adidas definitely left nike in the dust on this one. I bought two other pairs that I dont even wear, just in case they change the styles. drinks.gif

All I have are 360s now. Got rid of my FJ's & Ecco's!

The Adidas Tour 360's are hands down the best shoe on the market. I have never had a more comfortable pair of golf shoes. Only thing I wish they had was more choices. That would be the only knock.
nike444
Great shoe, and yes they seem to run a half size small. I also switched to thinner socks and bought a shoe stretcher

Tour 360's are sweet. alittle pricey but worth it, stable and comfortable, besides sweeeeeeeeeet looking.

I really like these shoes. They are among the most comfortable shoes I have worn, period (regardless of the fact that they are golf shoes!)

As for golf application, I have not had a serious pair of golf shoes before (my last pair were Nike Air shoes, which looked a bit like regular tennis shoes), so I don't have a frame of reference to compare them too. However, I find them very stable to swing in, and quite comfortable for walking in as well. Not that it was the shoes, but I shot my lowest round ever on the first trip to the course in these shoes (so they certainly didn't hurt my performance.)

I did find that they run somehat small, at least compared to non-golf shoes I have worn in the past. I normally wear a 10.5, or better yet a 9.5 to 10 in wide width. With these, I am in a 10.5 wide, but I do like the fit. I got the pair I have in white/black/red, and they look good, but I am thinking about getting another pair in black/mohagany/copper for both a backup pair, and for better match to different clothing. I am the last person in the world to worry about 'accsesorizing' my wardrobe, but these shoes are so nice I want a second pair!

I love my 360s, very comfortable and the styling is great. I have the brown/black and all white (Pimpin) versions. The only draw back is the craters they tend to leave in soft greens.

Snagged a pair of the all white ones a couple weeks ago...then took them straight to Hawaii. I played 54 holes in ~27 hours with no blisters and no real pain to speak of. Fantastic golf shoe.

They were so good actually, that my black FJ Classics are in danger of being replaced with the all black model.

And they do run a half size small. My FJs, and even my Adidas Z Traxion Tours from last year are all 10 1/2...but I had to go with 11 in the 360s.
rdavis
Even though the Tour 360's are on sale in alot of places if you dont want to spensd the money try the new Tour Traxion which is a lookalike of the Tour 360's suprisingly comfortable. I have a Pair of the Tour 360's and love them but a close second are the Tour Traxion FYI.
ireland_bhoy
yeh I have the tour 360s and they are a quality golf shoes and the all white ones are the most stylish shoe ive seen....however i was disapointed that my shoes were letting in water after about 3 months of use so i got them replaced with a new pair! alot of my mates also had this problem with them letting in water which is the only drawback.... rolleyes.gif
bigtex75
Hands down the most comfortable shoe on the market.
erikdavis
Best shoes I have ever owned....guess that is why I have 3 pairs!!
taylorpro
The best shoe I have ever had. I was all FJ, not anymore!
JHR
Very nice shoe, my only complaint is the heel area , it never felt very comfortable for me, otherwise this is one of my favorite shoes.
golfer_junior
Very good for the walker. On par in terms of quality with the classics premiere.
pro11ace
ive been thinking about buying some and this thread was helpful as to how good they are! sweet, it makes me wanna go out and buy some now!
Louie
I would wear them in a blink if they made them wide enough. To narrow for my foot.
I'll stick with my Nike's.
Golfchicago
To me still the most comfortable shoe out there. It feels like your walking on pillows.
Warszawa
We all know they're comfortable but don't underate the stability you get out of these. I had a tendency to fall laterally over my left foot in the follow through of a swing I've tryed to rip. It has dissapeared. The flip side of this stablilty is the fact I tore up my local courses greens yesterday. russian_roulette.gif
saltcity
Not only do they look cool, they're comfortable and really ground your feet which is key for balance. In terms of style, form and function - they rate a 10 of 10 in my book.
The entire current adidas shoe line is very impressive. The ClimaCool Trade Wind(s) is a great shoe too. Like the old turf shoes, lightweight, breathable, you can wear them anywhere.
tokyokish
Great shoe. probably the most comfortable shoe i have ever owned, golf or otherwise.
eugd
should you buy 1/2 size up or 1 full size up for comfort?
tokyokish
i went a half size
Navyplayer
I just bought a pair for $99.00 plus tax. If your in the States you can find them at the "Adidas" store in the Premium outlets which are all over the West Coast. They had blue, black and red at my particular store, all sizes. Get em while their hot! BTW I went 1/2 half size up.

I love my 360s... I'm so much more stable now than when I wear the FJs... I agree that they do run a big snug but that actually feels like it gives me more stability.

Not going to get rid of my FJ eComforts though. Still the most comfortable golf shoes I own, especially when I'm walking 36 holes.
Capt.happy
Just played my first round with tour 360's and could not believe the stability of these shoes. Never once did i feel off balance during the whole round. These are the best shoes i have ever owned.
Philfan14
I am thinking about getting a pair of all white ones ( i have already ordered a pair of FJ reelfits all black ) I usually wear a size 13 with a narrow foot. Would anyone recommend moving up to a 14 in 360's ?

I agree, its weird its the first shoe I considered taking a half size bigger...and did.having said that best shoe i have ever owned.second are bite biofits

These are one of he best looking shoes on the market. Make sure you walk softly on the green because they leave deep marks (I am 6'4 260 to be fair), and buy a half size wider than normal. I have had FJ Classics so I had to get used to the mild "football cleat" like feel while walking. Another don't is don't mess with the bars in the middle of the shoe. Sure they are awsome looking, but don't play with them durring a long wait. They will loosen. Then you will kick yourself. If they ever make these in all brown with white stripes I will be the first in line.
r1dgeline
I just bought these and they were my first pair of Adidas golf shoes and won't be my last. Ma are these amazing
elmejor
360's are the best!
amatuerfisher
I just got the new 3.0's and they fit like a second sock. The retail price is a little steep, but Tmag's price isn't :P
warbirdlover
The 360 might be good but the Powerband I just bought (no thread for them) are a POS. Worst fitting shoe I've ever owned and my feet really hurt after my golf trip to Tennessee. They felt fine in the store but the toes are too "low" and "too narrow" and I'll be getting another pair of Foot Joys shortly. Never had any issues with them like these. Horrible.

Did you break them in a little before going out for a round? I just got a pair of Powerband 2.0's a few weeks ago and love em! Mine were tight in the midfoot to start but fit great once they were broken in. Give them another round or a couple of practice sessions to see if they loosen up. Alternatively, if you happen to wear a 13M I'll be glad to take them off your hands.

I have have a pair of the 360 3.0 and fit like a glove in the store.I wore them around the house for a while before going out on course with them and they seemed like great shoes.First time on the course,after 13 holes my heels were blistered and by the 15th hole I could barely walk.After a few weeks letting the skin heal I thought I'd go out again and try to break them in and use a heel patch to reduce the rub.Ouch.Same thing again and now the side of the front foot has the same rub.The look and technical part of the shoe are great but unless you use them with a cart and don't have to walk you're fine.I think I'll stay with the Footjoys next time

I love these things! I bought the 3.0 in black and just bought the white pair also! Cant say enough. They fit pretty true IMO. I love them, simply put. If you are considering them just go buy them.
iKhanh
I have the white/black 3.0's and i absolutely LOVE them.

Re: Blisters with these shoes as some of you are concerned im sure.

ALL shoes require some sort of break-in to 'mold' to your feet. especially when they are supposed to be 'snug' such as 3.0's.

I walked around the house for like 20 minutes, then used at the range for an hour or so. Played a whole round, no blisters just rubbing irritation on my left heel.

2nd round on nothing, LOVE em. super snug. Would highly recommend AAAA++++

i don't own a pair of the 3.0s (yet wink.gif ), but i do have a pair of the 360, 360 II and 360 ltds, and i've loved each version more than the last and i'm hoping the 3.0s continue that trend for me.

i've never had any issue with irritation or blistering with any of the different models that i've owned. one of the reasons that i'm such a big fan of these is because they were always comfortable for me right out of the box. i never had to endure a break-in period like i've had to with all of the shoes that i owned before these. i literally grabbed them out of the box, laced them up and walked 18 without any issues, but that's just my experience and i naturally can't guarantee the same for everyone else.

for what it's worth, i've never had an issue with the width of these shoes because i've got narrow feet, but i know adidas offers them in a 'wide' width as well for those of you that have more 'normal sized' feet.

just my two cents.

I just bought a pair of the 3.0s and found them ridiculously comfortable in the store but found them a little sloppy when I wore them the first time at the range. I was on a golf trip this past weekend where I'd be carting so I brought them along with my well-worn Universitys. Long story short, I never had to put on the old shoes. After playing three rounds they were well worn in and extremely comfortable. Unlike some here I did find them to be quite stiff out of the box and they definitely needed quite a bit of wearing to get over the initial stiffness, but my patience was well-rewarded. The stability in these shoes is fantastic! I really feel like these shoes help my swing as corny as that may sound: they seem to help prevent me from swaying and I feel really stable even on uneven lies. If these wear as well as I think they will I may have to buy another pair in a different colour man_in_love.gif .

I had a pair of 360 II's and loved them, until I found my feet getting wet on damp morning rounds. Never had a problem with dryjoys doing this. I returned them to TM/Adidas and this week got a new pair of 3.0's shipped to me for free.
I really hope these don't fail in the waterproof dept, 'cause they're just as good as the II's as far as stability and comfort go.
