Swing problem or just cheap shoes?

I'm getting a little frustrated with my golf shoes. The darn things keep falling apart, but always in the same place: the toe of the right shoe.

So I'm wondering it my swing is at fault? I know that when I make a full swing, I end up on the toe of my right foot and kind of drag the toe a bit.

And I usually buy cheap golf shoes, because they are....cheap.

But the 1st pair of Etonics I had lasted 3 years!!, even though the right toe was really worn. I bought another pair of Etonics 2 months ago, and the sole is separating from the uppers on the right toe.

I bought a pair of Adidas about a year ago, and even though there is minimal wear anywhere else, the sole is separating from the uppers on the right toe.

I have yet to find a glue that will glue the soles back to the uppers. Anyone know of one?

Surprising to me, a pair of FootJoy Greenjoys that I have worn for at least 50 walking rounds, have replaced the spikes 3 times, have absolutely no problems. And I only paid $30 for them.

So do I have a swing problem, or am I just buying the wrong shoes?

I need something comfy for walking and not too pricey. Footjoys? Greenjoys or eComforts?
