Considering buying a pair of these but concerned about the durability, anyone had any issues?

It is either these or 2013 Footjoy Sport for me...

Guv...I think it may be a bit too soon to give an honest durability review, as they've only been out a month.  A couple things I can say:

• They are extremely comfortable from the start,
  
• They clean up very well, after walking 18 the first round with them, I was able to just wipe them off with a damp towel and they were good to go.
  
• They are extremely light, really you can barely tell you're wearing them.

I don't get the "They look cheap" comments, I think they look fine, granted a bit diffeent look than pure leather.  But just like a few others have said.  These moisture wicking-clima lite shirts looked a bit different than traditonal cotton when they came out.  And I don't know of too many people hung up on them not being cotton now

Nice...I'm waiting for them to arrive here so I can at least try them in store - I'm assuming you got the non spikeless version?  You didn't happen to get the BOA version did you?

He has the Adizeros, not the FJs.

Correct.  I have the yellow/white cleated adizeros.  I may get the sport version later this summer which don't have spikes.

I have a pair on order and am looking forward to getting them in.  Even though we got 4 inches of snow yesterday and won't be wearing them for at least 2 months.

When we got ours, and we posted about it in the contest thread.  Someone posted they wanted to see a POV picture with them on looking down.   So I put them on took the picture, and figured I might as well giev them a test walk. So I wore them around the 5 star Park Hyatt hotel that morning for a bit before we left for Torrey Pines....LOL.  They probably could have made some sort of commercial out of that.

Speaking of commercials, it's useful to note that the yellow doesn't come off the shoe and onto your bare feet as seems to have happened to DJ and the Tmag boys in that TV commercial.  No, sir, ree.  Your feet stay whatever color they were to begin with.  So you've got that going for you, which is nice.

CG, I'm surprised you haven't yet given a test report on how these babies perform in the snow.  (BTW, yellow snow is much worse than yellow feet.)

No, not in the slightest!

I'll be here all week.

[Guv280984]

HAHAHA... I have just looked the advert up!

[LeftRev]

One of the great benefits of being a WRX member is reading critiques and praises of golf shoes/equpment before actually trying them.  I have read both types of comments in this thread regarding the Adizero.  I went to Golfsmith today to try the Adizero, FootJoy M Project and 360 ATV M1.  I've been wearing Adidas Z-Traxion Tour for a long time...buy new ones on Ebay when available but they are getting scarce.  So I haven't worn any 'modern' shoes in a while.  I did buy a set of Trues and although comfortable, I didn't like the look and or the feeling of being so close to the ground.

After trying on all three brands of shoes today, I was totally sold on the Adizero.  For my feet they were most comfortable, fit better, were as light as advertised and I felt like I had golf shoes on.  I walked around for a while and never got the 'spikes' through the sole' feel in my feet as some have described.  I was surprised because that seems to have been the main fit issue for so many.

The Adizero cost more than 4 pairs of Z-Traxion Tours on Ebay but I gladly paid for them and walked out convinced they are worth it.  The Adizero compares favorably to every other golf shoe I have worn.

Well I took the plunge on the Adizero and it is with massive regret!

Played 18 holes with them today and my feet are cut off me!

Unfortunately I will have to try and sell them and purchase the Footjoy Sports for this year...

I am several rounds in and these are like slippers for me. No cuts etc.

Sure you have the right size?

I had similar problems with my Adipure Z's when I first got them. The narrow heel gave me the worst blister I have ever had the misfortune to get. I played the last 2 holes bare foot it was that bad. Others have complained about the exact same "heel bone" issue with Adidas.
I stuck with them, wore them round the house for short times, played a few 9's etc. They now fit like a glove and I love them.
I couldn't afford to just ditch them, and I'm glad I didn't. I now have a white pair and a black pair. They weigh a tonne but very classy looking and bomb proof.

I am in the market for either adizero or 2013 FJ sports .I have the 2012 FJ sports and are fine on my dodgy feet ,so i am a little cautious to buy the adizero ,as they look too soft to last very long but they also look very smart
I was wondering which gets the vote from all you guys who have tried both of these shoes

I had the same problem with my Tour 360 4.0s...for 2 rounds...then they fit perfect...  Funny thing about Adidas...

It's the insoles ....... Your feet slip and move for about two rounds and then they wear in and no movement.
The new insoles don't have that problem.

[snook...]

Roughly 30 miles of carrying...holding up very well.  Clean up very easy.

I picked up a pair on Saturday, the gray with dark gray and white sole colorway, and walked 18 in them on Sunday. I have been wearing a few different pairs of ecco spikes (gtx, not he sporty ones) for several years and decided to switch to something more athletic and lighter. I put the thicker included insoles in them to fill up some of the space left by my narrow feet, and really enjoyed how they felt. Traction was great and I didn't notice/mind the feeling of the spikes through the shoe. I did get a blister on my left heel, but I expect the shoes to break in nicely. I am happy with them so far.

[MacPadre]

I picked a pair of these up over the winter and can't wait to test them out.  So light they are insane

[Bingo1976]

Played 18 in mine (cart). Lost a couple of spikes - anyone else having the same issue?
