Any news on sizes?

I use size 6 or 7 (25 cm), and it looks like Nike continues to discriminate small feet.

I think full size run when the shoe is back in stock, in the fall or late summer

Really wanted the white but couldn't wait any longer so i went with the black in 9.5

If i like them i'll order some white ones when they are in stock again.

Anyone who has played Ecco Street Premiere and can compare? For walking a course I have not found a shoe that can best the Ecco's when it comes to comfort and durability.

My TW13's arrived yesterday and I used Ecco Street before then.  They do not feel the same at all, if that what you're hoping.  For me, the TW13's are more comfortable (probably the best I've worn).  I used them the first time last night in a league and felt reall good out of the box.  I expect better once fully broken in.

Some other may note and the same size feel's tighter compared to others (including my Ecco's).  So far they are great.  Black version may be in the offing later this year.

Just got mine in yesterday and they are amazing. They are beautiful looking shoes and probably the most comfortable golf shoe ive ever tried. I cant wait to take these out on the course and try them out... never been so excited about a golf shoe before!!

i've played in the ecco streets the last couple of years.  these have a softer bottom and more grip IMO.  to me these are like wearing running shoes that have a lot of grip.  really really good shoe.

What is the average shoe size in America?  Damn my size 8 feet.

[preacher]

I used to work at a shoe store. Size 9-11 were the most common size for men that we would sell.

Size 8 in a man?  Those aren't feet, they are Hooves..... LOL

BTW, no wide sizes anywhere....just sayin'

[racingdc9]

Finally walked a full 18 today with the TW13's.  I used a push cart.  The shoes felt good, I don't walk as much as I used to so my legs were tired at the end.  The reason why I don't walk much is because of a heel spur in my left heel.  I'm happy to say, absolutely no pain at all in my heel from the full 18 today.  My feet did hurt a little(more like soreness) but I believe it's due to my lack of walking, i'm sure once I walk more I should be fine.  The shoes felt fine on grass and on cartpath.  My white pair came in the other day and I have to say again, those white ones are a beauty.  They look so nice, i'm kind of hesitant to get them dirty, lol.....   My main concern was the possible heel pain, so these shoes passed the test.

[TJMAC]

Keep in mind with Nike Frees that they are designed to fit snug to give that natural feel of not wearing a shoe.  These shoes do not need to be broken in.  What they are doing is strengthening your foot, so that's where the general soreness at the begining comes from.  When the original Nike Free running shoes were released, they recommended easing your way into them.  Wearing them 10 minutes at a time until you build up strength in your feet.  

Wasn't directing this at anyone specifically.  It's just something to keep in mind when trying these on.

[TheMoneyShot]

I noticed the increase in commercials this week for the frees.  If TW wind the open in these watch out because they will be impossible to get...

[alsponge]

I have still yet to see them at any stores yet. Just a lot of promotional posters.

[Djuga06]

I know a lot of people have commented on how ugly these are but the one thing I'm a big fan of is the simplicity in the color scheme. Too many recent Nike shoes have the 3rd accent color added to the black/white that makes the shoe only go with certain outfits. I love my lunar controls but those sharp red accent lines all over the shoes don't go very well with anything other than my UGA stuff. These subtle colors look like they can go with anything without clashing.

[Djuga06]

as an update, they had like 4 total pairs at Golf Galaxy today and just so happened to have a 12. i figured it wouldn't hurt to try even though everyone has pretty much mentioned how small they are, and sure enough they were. I have a feeling when 13's do becomes available, I'll be all over a pair though as they were pretty darn comfortable.

Anywhere left to order a white pair online? I just got my pair from my pre order today and loved them. Looking to find another pair to knock around in.

Anyone wear them without the spikes yet? Like just running around in?

I have, but not running. Just walking around in them. Same feel, just you don't feel high off the ground, since there is no spikes on.

Overall, super comfortable

12M give me the same tight feeling, But 12 Wide is perfect....wait until the wides come out later this summer.  13...not...no clown shoes for me.

[Hokie2k5]

I wore mine over the weekend and am pretty happy with them overall.  I wear a 11.5 M in both Adidas and Nike Golf shoes and the 12M fit pretty well, maybe a quarter size too small but my toes don't rub or anything.  They feel completely different than any other golf shoe I've worn, very comfortable but not super soft and spongy comfort.  I just thought the sole flexed very well and after a round my feet still felt great.

The white ones look ok, not the coolest looking shoe I've ever seen but they have grown a little bit on me.  I think the fact they are waterproof is what makes them look worse, I would like to see a non-water proof "sport" version (that's cheaper) that looks more like the regular free shoes with spikes on the bottom.

But overall I'm pleased, very comfortable and they aren't too bad looking.

[acquadiice]

why would you spend $180 on a pair of these to wear off the course when you can buy normal frees for $100?

[ajmac]

What kind of socks do you all wear with them?  I wear the no-show style socks with my FootJoys but I'm not sure that I will like the tongue of the shoe touching directly on the front of my ankle.  Does anyone wear the TW13 with no-show socks?  I just bought them last night and haven't played in them yet.

[Superlad]

I wear the FJ no show.  The tongue touches above the sock but it's built well.  Don't even feel it.

[drifter12]

thinking about buying these. quick question for those who have them, how high off the ground does the shoe go? is the sole pretty flat, keeping your feet close to the ground?

Played 72 holes of golf with TW13 past weekend.

Here's what I found.

- I am an Ecco Biom, Biom Hybrid, Adipure and Adipure Z user. I am very particular about my shoes.

- TW13 felt snug at first (I wear 42 or 8.5wide but since I couldn't get the 8.5W, I purchased 9.5M for $139.99 from a local golf shop

- I was not too crazy about the design at first and high top look of it but once I was in these shoes, I felt very "planted" to the ground

- I play first tee time every morning and had no water/dew issues.

- Side hills, bunkers (wet and dry), FW, rough, pine needles, cart path. ALL NO PROBLEM!

- I actually like the fit of this better than Ecco, even though I weare wider fit shoes, Ecco felt too wide and too much room but this snug feel of TW13 is great when I swing.

- Very easy to clean the shoes. I wiped it with damp towel and that was all it needed.

- Outsole is holding the ground solid. I had great grip while I turn hard. This is by far the best for my swing.

- I am tempted to get black because of the functioning of the shoes but the black looks not that attractive in real person.

I still think this was well spent $139!

It looks high top but actually very close to the ground without giving me heel pain (I had this issue with Truelink)

I haven't found any free's that have the colors these do, unless I'm overlooking something..

[finalist]

I finally got to try on a pair. Yep, they are pretty neat. I liked the soft feel, but not overly thick sole for how soft they feel, and I liked how wide the base is. Local shops say August or September for new supplies. I may get a pair eventually.

The breathability seemed really bad as people have noted. Almost like wrapping a rubber inner tube around your foot.
