Adidas Tour 360

Dicks are doing these at $130 on close out. Ima thinking of splashing out for a pair. Some questions:
  • Anyone got a pair, are they good? Factors should include comfort, waterproofability??, durability and weight.
  • Size wise, I'm a UK 10. What size do I need to get US. (I have heard that Adidas are small fitting, any truth in that rumour?)
  • Anyone knopw a better price than Dicks?

Thanks dudes...

Re size - I am a 10 but my Adidas shoes are 10.5 and fit fine. I think the general concensus is to go up half a size.

Cool Stanters, thanks.

So for a 10 is that an 11.5 US size?

The tour 360 is the best shoe I have ever worn.
Very, very stable.

I have six pairs of them and really like the feel. I find they fit true to size. They are really comfortable, the wrap around the middle of your foot gives good stability and balance. The spilt sole also helps you keep your footing on sidehill stances.

Yes, going up by 0.5 of a size should be fine. I wore UK 11.5's in them when the Rep. gave me a pair last year and they were quality as !

That is a pretty good price, especially as I hear the dollar was up more than twice of the pound there. That is unbelievable.

They are bringing out 3 new colours in that range, one of which is the dog's danglies...

The advantages you will get is what tmag said, good stability and balance. I have kind a wide foot and the 360's are just alittle narrow for me but comfortable otherwise. Because they are a little narrow, I find the nike shoes to be even more comfortable. So if you don't have wide feet then I would definately recommend the 360's as they are a great shoe in every aspect. As for the UK size, the US size is 1 size up from the UK.

Being a Brit living in the US I've found that the conversion of US sizes being 1.0 sizes up from the UK equivalent is 80% right, but in the larger sizes it is sometimes 1.5 times. If you can do it, the safest way to get it right is to try and find the correct 'Euro' size - 44, 45, 46 etc) as they're the same on both sides of the pond and will get you the correct fit.

I bought a pair of Adidas golf shoes today at Dicks and saw they weren't waterproof. They will be going back. The 360's are the top of the line Adidas offering and will be an excellent choice. My local store didn't carry them.

OK I'm confused - these are listed as Traxions but look to be the 360s. Are they?

Cos if they are they are damned cheap

Adidas Tour Traxion Golf Shoe (White/Black/Gold)

I have compared them with 360s on other sites and they look the same to me. Has the site just made an error?

EDIT: DON'T WORRY THEY AREN'T 360s. JUST FOUND A MUCH BETTER COMPARATIVE PICCY. STILL, £70 FOR A PAIR IS PRETTY GOOD IN THE UK.

Doing some research...

anyone got a pair of Adidas 2007 Tour Metal II. If so how do they differ, if at all from the Tour 360.

About to pull the trigger on these so would appreciate any feedback...

Thanks
