Need Shoe Recommendations

After getting some nasty blisters this weekend, I need to buy some new golf shoes.

I'm looking to stay under $130 or so.

Any suggestions?

Look at Bite Golf. Most comfortable golf shoe I've owned and I've been playing 30 years.

I own these. Got them on sale for $70.

In that price range I'm sure you'll get a lot of suggestions. I'll throw these two out. I just got a pair of Nike SP-6 for $69 and a pair of Adidas Tour 360's for $109. Both are great shoes. Got both off ebay.

Thanks, I'll check those out.

I do have the Bite golf sandals and they're pretty comfy.

I picked up a pair of Footjoy LT from Dick's online clearance for $60 and after 4 rounds are breaking in nicely. No blisters - most comfortable shoe I've had. Liked them so much I found a black pair on eBay for less than $50 shipped. Not everyone likes the looks, I'm sure, but worth checking out!

The Adidas Tech Feather is a real nice shoe. Very comfortable, great grip, and pretty inexpensive. You should deffinatly check them out. You'll be rather pleased.

Have been wearing a pair of Footjoy Contours for 7-8 years that have been extremely comfortable and durable. Will be replacing them soon with a new pair of Contours.

The most comfortable shoes that I have worn have been the Ecco's. You can get a wide variety of styles on E-Bay for less then $130.

Adidas Tour 360's are the way to go. i used to get tore up by blisters and since getting the Tour 360's i haven't had any blisters what-so-ever... and i've had them about 6 months, i walk about 95% of the time i play, and i play 4-6 times a week.

If you don't mind a tennis shoe type... Nike Shox Golf. Feels just like a running shoe.

Thanks!

Ok, I ordered the Adidas Tour 360's.

I hope they get here before there are 5" of snow on the ground.

When you go on ebay enter ecco golf and your european size (ex. I am a US 12 and I enter 46 which fits 12/ 12 1/2) in the search function. The golf shoes are all over the place and I have found this short cut useful.

I saw that, thanks. They didn't have the ecco's ( in black) that I like.
