   I have spikes that have two settings, and I set them asymmetrically now. This is just another way to do that. It does work, but I can easily say I won’t spend that amount.

   These golf shoes have intrigued me. As a Podiatrist, I am always eager to look into the ethos of design when it comes to helping foot function. Looking at the biomechanical research data will pretty much confirm that these shoes will influence foot function. My question is; will they influence your game? Hmm? The proof is in the pudding but if your golf form is off, don’t expect $300 to set it right. You’ll need to look at your whole game. For me, these shoes look the part. I appreciate the design research which adds to the professional brand but I see many cheaper alternatives in the same class. Will I buy a pair? Not ruling them out till I try them on.

   Do these shoes prevent a sway? There should be shoes for amateurs, that help improve the game. This way we don’t have to worry, about hip bumps, dplane etc making the game more fun.

   guess this is why the workers in Vietnam are striking.
   they found out their $8 shoes are selling for $300.

   Etonic Stabilites used to be offered in RH and LH versions. Etonic was also the company that invented waterproof golf shoes.

   Not a horrible idea. I dont think people will bite on the $300, if it started under $200 I think they would get some good sales.

   I look at these as less of a performance benefit and potentially more of a durability factor. I personally wear out the toe on my right foot and the outside of my left foot. If these shoes had extra support, padding, rubber, etc…in the places that golfers typically wear out…that would be pretty cool, i guess.

    I saw these shoes being worn by a player just this past weekend on the European Tour event shown on the Golf Channel. I thought they were pretty sharp looking for Addidas shoes. I did not know what the deal was with them but Low and behold here they are. $300 bucks huh, those are Ecco prices and they is the reason I don’t like Ecco’s!! Perhaps I will catch them later in the year on sale at Golf Locker!!

    This is not a “new” idea. Puma released asymmetrical golf shoes a number of years ago when their smart quill technology debuted. Not necessarily hating on the tech, just poiting out that this is rehash of a similar concept that obviously didn’t gain much traction in the industry. Any one remember the particular model of Puma shoes? What was your experience, positive / negative / unnoticeable / indifferent?

    I seem to remember that John Huston was penalized at the Masters for illegal shoes which were deemed to be building a stance. Are these shoes “conforming”?

      Are you stupid? The shoe had nothing to do with building the stance. He moved the surroundings around him to build his stance.

        Weight Rite shoes were banned in the middle of the Masters. He had to change shoes for the next round.

        Sorry, Justin, but you’re wrong about that – so Is Rosie (to some extent).

        Huston did indeed use “Weight Rite” shoes for a brief period of time. They were built with a “bias” toward the center of your stance – think of putting a wedge of wood (or a golf ball) under the outside of your right foot to keep you from swaying on the backswing, and a wedge under the front foot to keep you from swaying forward on the downswing.

        USGA decided they were non-conforming, Huston stopped wearing them & they went away.

          I would have guessed that Justin was correct being that he started his comment off with “are you stupid?”

          Typically someone who calls someone stupid for making a comment that is not correct, is 100% sure that they are correct themselves…

          I think I am just going to start all of my conversations with people like ol’ Justin. “Paper or Plastic sir?”
          “Are you stupid! Paper, please…thank you”

    Awww give it a rest guys. Research and development cost $$$. By the end of the season you can p/u a used pair for $150.

    Yeah, they need to get real on the $300 price, its not as if the other shoes with good bottoms are getting it done. Not solving a problem just an added feature that might add something but probably not!

    I not one inclined to believe in sport-shoe mumbo jumbo, especially because like club makers the shoe people would rather have us buying new products every season. This does make sense though, consider a golfer stresses his footprint differently for a right or a left handed player, and the stresses are similar from shot to shot

    Makes sense but $300 shoes is insulting. Plus there is no spike in the toes. Hogan would be rolling over in his grave.

      Your insulted by golf shoes? Just dont buy them…there problem solved

      I did not know Mr. Hogan personally…but I am going to take a wild guess that he would never have cared in any way how much a pair of golf shoes cost
