HI guys,

Well this winter I ordered a pair of TRUE Tours....  They are so comfortable, and have since ordered 3 more pair.

I have two pair of 2011 Tours, one pair of 2012 Tours, as well as, one pair of the 2012 PHX's.

While I love the feel and performance, I think this may be a factor...

I have recently noticed that my left foot has been numb after about 8 or 9 holes....  My back doesn't "hurt", but my left knee/foot get tingly

Can anyone with experience help here?  I want a stylish/comfy shoe with some serious science geared toward support

I can't comment on the specific issue your having but I remember trying ecco shoes on for the first time and they were amazingly comfortable with great support. I now own about 3 pairs of their spikeless shoes and i love them. The spikeless however do have a little less support then the spiked version do. Definitely try on a pair. Normally after playing 18 you have that relief of taking off your golf shoes and slipping on your regular shoes, I can just hop in the car and drive home and kick them off with no real relief other then being cooler taking them off.

sounds like you have a lower lumbar issue, L4-L5 disc will cause lower leg and foot pain, and not necessarily any back pain

To op, go get checked out by an orthopedic ASAP. I couldnt play all last summer when i herniated my l4-l5 and it is really the worst pain i  have ever been in.

+1 seriously get it looked at. You are losing feeling in your extremities! This is not shoe fixable.

This is what I am experiencing...  I just started seeing a Chiro for the first time in my life....  She came highly reccomended, and after 3  visits I am already feeling results.  I always thought this stuff was "quacky", but so far so good....  She is actually very good, and hopefully can help me out...

That doesn't sound like a shoe issue.  You should go see a doctor about this ASAP.

I used to have a lot of tightness in my lower back when walking but I too switched to the TRUE's and now own 4 pairs of them.  The pain has gone away and I'm able to walk 36 in a day w/o issues.
