Shoes dilemma

[Stanters]

I want a new pair of shoes for the season and really quite fancy the Footjoy E-Comforts. Good price in the Pro Shop.

Anyone own/owned a pair?

I'm a bit of an old school fuddy-duddy and although Adidas etc make top class shoes I prefer the more trad look. (To go with my cardy and gaiters)

I have the E-comforts and have got used to them now. Though they weren't as comfortable to me as the cheaper GreenJoys, once I put a good pair of insoles in them, they rock. I'm like you, can't yet get past the look of the newer styles...maybe one day.

That's what I've got and I love my Foot Joys. Those new Adidas ones are intriguing though. Bet they're comfortable.

I completely agree with both parts. (then again I wear custom orthodics in all my shoes) The e-comforts is a very solid shoe.

If you have a Dicks Sporting goods in the area, look on the clearance rack for last years Dry Joys to make room for this years model. My preferred shoe and normally run around $130-140. They have a small selection of sizes in most of the stores for $79. I have a pair of e-comforts as well, but the Dry Joys are much finer shoe and if they have your size, they are the same price.

I just the other day got a pair of FJ reelfit shoes.
Expensive but oh so sweet. No laces to tie and they feel like old friends right out of the box.

PMSL - that's such a valid point. I must remember not to be such an apron front.

But I am just so concerned that I get a pair that match my slacks.

Thx for the feedback guys - purchase ahoy.

Pretty funny, I looked at those yesterday. I couldn't figure out the whole concept by looking at them in the store. I couldn't figure out what the catch was and didn't even notice when I had them in my hand that they had no laces. I had to go to the website to look at them again. The things you take for granted, I just assumed they had laces, even when I stared at them in my hand.

edit 1 - I also looked at the Ecco's, as my wife has 3-4 pairs, although they seem much narrower than any other shoes. I wear 13 and tried the pair that convert to 13-13.5 and had to cram my feet in the shoe. Always heard they were extremely comfortable, but they were torture for me just to put on and stand up. They did have any bigger to try out.

[Slingblade61]

They are soooo sweet!

The only thing off putting (as my English friend, dave is fond of saying) is the blue heel.

The "reel" cinches those puppies up in a way that normal laces do not.
I don't have a round in them yet but will report back when I do.

ps....buy your shoes from Footjoy Golf Shoes at Golf Shoes Only: Golf Shoes, Nike Golf Shoes, Adidas Golf Shoes, Footjoy (but use one of the site links) It's good for all of us.

I haven't tried any Adidas (some day I will). Foot-Joys (at least the ones in my budget) aren't comfortable. Etonics seem to be the best fitting shoes for me.

Had I know how they worked I may have bought them the other day. Golfshoesonly.com is about $10 cheaper than anywhere else. Although now I will need to go by the store again when I am around one to see what I think of the feel and make sure the widths are the same, then come back and order if I like them. I made a kinda stupid mistake in finally finding 13 in the $79 Dry Joys, but they felt tight so I assume I had 13W. I found when I got home all of my shoes are 13M and I had heavy socks on, and I don't get over to NJ that often. I did check his site before we went for closeouts Dry Joys and Gel Fusions, but he only had the 13's in white, which I only buy black because they look better and smaller in that size plus I tend to scuff the heels really bad so the black last much longer.

I would kill for a good sporting goods store in this area, that and a Electronics store, this is one of the fastest if not thee fastest expanding areas in the US, yet they have little commercial growth. Hate having to drive 1 hour for anything.
