To be honest. I wasn't too impressed when first put on but took everyone's word for it. Literally by the fifth hole I was like WOW.

Yeah I think they really shine when you put em on and take em to the course

[Arizonalefty59]

I'm still gonna wait until they drop in price haha.

[fore_life]

I know man, they are pricey or I'd have  a black pair,too.  I have a feeling that these ones will be 125+ for some time though.

[Kingpair]

Wore mine for the first time and couldn't be happier. Just like wearing my favourite runners and provide a great platform for the swing.

I still wish the tongue was like these, of course I love the TW's, only downside is the tongue.

[bmoney003]

while I agree that tongue is awesome looking, I don't even notice the tongue on mine.

I hate to dig this thread back up as it has finally fallen off the first page, but I just have to gush about the TW13s.  Sorry.

I finally found my size, 13, in white on ebay for $150 delivered.  Sold. They got here Tuesday and I played today.

Just like most everyone has said, these are easily my favorite pair of golf shoes.  Ever.  And I've never owned another pair of Nike golf shoes.

The sizing is correct.  Same as Nike basketball, same as Footjoy.  Comfortable and very stable.  I've never had such grip walking uphill on wet grass.  Maybe it was because they were new, but even when I used to wear CLEATS I didn't have this much grip for climbing.  I was shocked.

The comfort was amazing.  It is at least on par with my Ecco Biom Hybrids.  But the BIOM's aren't waterproof and don't provide traction like these Nikes.  The TW13's are better than the True Tours I tried, better than my Icons, better than the Ashworth Cardiffs I have for sale, and better than my DryJoys.  Also, I played great today.  Was it my swing or the shoes?  I have no idea, but I know I haven't had that much fun on the course in a long time.

One note about the TW13's.  The top leather is LIGHT.  I can't wait to wear these on a hot day.  Today the temp topped out at about 43* while I was on the course.  My feet were actually chilly due to how light the leather is.  Maybe these aren't the best choice for playing in 30-40 degree (F) weather.  I've always had toasty feet in my Footjoys (Icons, Dryjoys, Reelfits) and my Ecco's.  The TW13 was chilly.  I thought my feet were getting wet.  Took the shoe off and my sock was bone dry, it was just that my foot was cold.  An odd sensation, but refreshing.

I am going to have a lot less shoes in the rotation now.  Sadly, I think I'm going to go to a rotation of one pair.  My TW13's.  That'll make sure I wear them out quicker, which currently makes me sad.  I guess I'll find out about the durability.

Lastly, on hard surfaces, clubhouse, cart paths etc, you are taller in these shoes if that is something you desire.  I didn't notice the extra height on the course, but in my house trying them out on carpet and hardwood, I felt I was way taller.  Maybe it's because I don't wear shoes in the house very often.  I'm 6'5" without shoes, with shoes on in the house, I felt at least 6'7".  Maybe the heel is that big on hard surfaces but compresses on soft.  I don't know.  Just throwing it out there.  I may have to actually measure.

Like I said, I'm sorry I brought this back up.  But I couldn't believe the hype that almost everyone LOVED these shoes.  Now that I've tried them, I believe the hype also.  These are great shoes.  Try them out when they get to your price point.

How is the white version holding up over several months now?

Do stains on the out sole and sides wash off easily? Are creases in the toe filling in with dirt and cracking - the material seems different, so I wonder if this exists? Any defects regarding construction, etc.?

Looks like its time for you to buy the black pair too....

[ev0six]

My only complaint about the black ones is when the melting sun comes out.  You can feel it heat up after a few minutes.  I'm in south east asia where the temps are fairly 85F year round and reaching 100 in the summer.  I've had about 40 rounds in the white before i received my black pair in october.  But the white pair held up beyond my expectations even though our monsoon season from june to oct. It kept the socks dry all the time when it poured.

[DickieThon]

Did anyone get them from Discount Dan's? If so, pm me the price? I see them on sale on another site and was wondering if there are any better prices.

eBay has tons on their right now for a steal from reputable sellers.  Be sure to check there too.

How is the Achilles support on these?

[Sushiyoshi]

9.5 in Lunar Control is a little loose for me.  9 in True Tour fits good.  Would 9 be a better fit for these?

tgw says Feb of 2013 to ship size 14?!!?!?!  this is ridiculous?

I got my white pair in size 14 yesterday. I ordered directly from the Nike website. The whites still show to be available in size 14 right now. Apparently the blacks have already sold out for now, as they were available when I ordered on Monday, but are now unavailable. All of the other retailers I saw still showed Feb. as the ship date.

I have just worn them around the house, and they feel great. The foot feels very secure and stable, no shifting around whatsoever. I can't wait to try these out on the course tomorrow!

[skaarsgard]

i have had mine (black) for a few months and while not wearing them exclusively due to rotating with other shoes from weather or clothing colors, the TW shoes have seen at least 15 rounds.  i'm sure many have stated in this thread already so i'll echo that these are the best golf shoes i have ever worn.

Specs:   12w, Black
i see on this page some state that they fit true to other Nike's but i'd disagree.   i usually wear 11.5w or 12r in most Nike's and these fit smaller.  the 11.5w's felt too small at the toe length and width.  however, my Nike Tour Premiums fit pretty damn large at 11.5w.   basically, i haven't seen consistent fitting in the Nike golf shoe line - recommend to try them on for the proper fit at a store if possible before purchasing online.

Feel:   excellent
there's something about having the shoe conform to your natural movements walking or during the swing.   while i prefer the True Tours over all shoes on the putting green, these TW shoes are very close.  they have tremendous balance throughout the shoe and very good spike placement.

just a great feeling and performing shoe and seemingly waterproof (dry feet in rainy sessions)

Con's:
They make sounds while walking - hard to describe but it's the sound of the material flexing
Very different feeling - mine came into their own the second round.   would recommend a range session or two before taking em on the course
In wet/ soggy conditions, the turf gets really stuck in all the crevices of the sole.   need on course maintenance

[Big Ben]

These shoes can be pretty hot in the summer but they REALLY SHINE during the chilly season and when things are wet, I walked today in Northeastern Ohio on a very soggy course and these remained bone dry and cleansed up in a pinch. I agree the tongue bothered me at first but after a number of rounds in them I totally forgot about it...BB

Nots sure they even crease. The material is like rubbery and thin feelings ands never really starts rigid. I evens run around in them and never feel feets being sore. Coming from crappy *fashion* over any real use female shoes , these are well worth whatever money they costs.

Mine do nots make sounds either. Maybe being girl with nots so wide feets is better for these, but no shoe even is close to me.  Men's adicross are okay for $50 , but still nots even close for me.

For cleaning , i just use clorox disinfecting wipes and they take care most of dirts and a little scratching if necessary for extra cleaning on spots.

Thanks, I got a pair a few weeks ago. Absolutely love them. The best golf shoe I've ever owned by far. I too have found they wash easier than any shoe I've ever owned. That rubber material stays white and doesn't crease.

[drew1527]

Anyone looking for a good price on these check out GPP golf. Well worth it! Love my white pair so
I got a black set also.

[FairwayGolfUSA.com]

I absolutely love my pair. Size 10 white. I do have to say that the white got dirty and have some grass stains on them the 3rd time I wore it on the bottom left heel but other than that probably the most comfortable golf shoes I have word.

I have both colors and do have one question fellas, it really bothers me how badly they squeek, my playing partners even notice it! Have they fixed this issue? If so I may call NIke and try to exhange both of my pairs. I do enjoy these and they are very comfy...BB

I got a pair from the Oregon HQ about three weeks ago and they don't squeak. FWIW. I'm guessing mine are newer stock?

What part squeaks on yours? I've worn mine in mostly wet, dewey conditions.

[skaarsgard]

mine sqeak in the front - under the ball of the foot,   hard to say if it's the top layer rubber or sole or combination of both.

[Big Ben]

They just squeak like crazy, it's hard to pinpoint the exact location. I Recieved mine very early on...BB

Just really wanted to like these when they were introduced but does any one feel that the leather they use on these is not real or is it just me.  It feels like Pleather(plastic leather) from some of the shoes that I owned back in the 1970's.  Maybe this is why they squeak. I wanted to like these but they do not fit my foot whatsover.
Seems like they would really be uncomfortable when its really hot out.  I will stick with my True Tours any day over these sweat inducing squeaky misfits..

[finalist]

The material is a fabric that has some sort of plastic coating sprayed on to the surface from what I've read. Mine definitely don't squeak. Just took them to the range and tried to make them. That rubber toe material has a really cool feel when it bends and flexes.

It's a premium synthetic used simply because it allows the shoe to stretch and bend, but still hold its shape from round to round. Been explained on here a bunch.
