What type of shoes are causing the blisters?

FWIW I'm a happy Contour wearer as well.

[Monsta]

Ecco

I have a bad back and they are great, comfy from the 1st time I put them on. A bit pricey but worth the money..

I was trained in shoe fitting many years ago, mainly children's shoes.

It completely depends on the shape of your feet. Ecco, Footjoy and Oakley fit me well. Nike are mostly like torture.

The only way to decide is to go to an experienced fitter or learn what makes a good fit. Suggestions from strangers might be nice but won't really be a lot of help unfortunately.

Rubbish V4. Throw some more brand names in there. Beats good sense!

[Veefore]

Sorry. You're right I'D.

I'm not sure what came over me. ;)

[Shortylook]

Ok thanks guys, I just wanted a bit of a point in the right direction,, Kristian I have a pair of Nike leather golf shoes, the were lovely when I got them fitted snug and comfy as, now they kill my feet and leave blisters, I will go to local golf shops and try a heap on, I think I'm going to run the sneaker type if I can find a nice wide pair. Cheers everyone

I got myself a pair of Asics golf shoes from the US and they are exactly like Asics running shoes for sizing & fit and are very comfortable.

[Dotty]

Unfortunately, trained shoe fitters are scarce in shops staffed by club pros, trainees and single figure 20 year olds. So we rely on what people use for 100+ games a year.

I wonder whether Shortylook's problem shoes were Adidas 360 Version 2 (?), which got a lot of bad press on OzGolf about 3 years ago.

I keep going back to FJ Contour over other shoes, due to the padded heel doesn't cut into the back of my heel, good arch support and 'steep lace profile', so my feet don't slide forward and squash my toes, when walking down steep hills.

[Shortylook]

No they were Nike's

[matty]

Just bought a pair of spikeless FJ's. May be the Causal model. Have only worn them on the range once. Felt strange for two hits and then forgot about them. Very, very comfortable.

[Shortylook]

Yea, that's just what I want something comfy and to drop take 10 shots off my game lol

So my 2 month old golf shoes are starting to give me blisters,can anyone recommend some golf shoes that they have had tried and would recommend pleaseCheersIf your shoes give you blisters it means they don't fit. I recommend you buy shoes that fit. It's got nothing to do with the brand whatsoever. If that is difficult for whatever reason buy full leather shoes. Fill them with boiling water and let it soak in for about one hour. Then put them on tie the laces up tight and wear them all day. Then they will fit. P.s. tip the water out first before putting on.

[markTHEblake]

Uh oh. That may be bad advice. Warm water and only a few mins. :-)

I know the AJ's prefer hot water but maybe army boots are not stuck together with glue.

[Golfnut]

Thank God you added the PS bit.

[pingmanjas]

Adidas powerband 3.0s very comfortable

[nadg63]

Puma.

To all the footjoy contour wearers, how is the sizing? I'm thinking of buying from TGW but wanna get the right size obviously.
I've found before that footjoy are a wider shoe than say adidas, its this still the case?
Thanks

Yep, just got some still wider, a lot better fit (room) than the Adidas.

US13 in Adidas unwearable - US13 in footjoy nice firm not tight.

In fact nearly all the stores I went to all steered me away from the bigger adidas shoes way too narrow.

[Mububban]

Catch of the Day has Adipure Motion in black for $79

[Icestorm959]

I tried out a fair few and found adizeros to be sensationally comfortable, much better than footjoys that were twice the price.

[goughy]

I have 4 pairs of adipure running shoes, they don't look anything like the golf shoes.

[madboarder]

Footjoy's work well for many.

[madboarder]

Whats going on with all these runner looking shoes that have appeared in market over the last 10 years. Call me old fashioned but the average age of golf members in Oz has increased so who is wearing thses shoes? Bring back FJ Classics

[Yossarian]

You are old fashioned. Half the old boys at my club are wearing them.

[madboarder]

Not old fashioned its called "Retro". If they work then go fir it. Do members at your golf club look like Matt Kuchar? He wears funny shoes. I want to see Payne Stewart fashion returned to the course??

[Yossarian]

I don't think you know what retro means. Not many of the members at my club look like Matt Kuchar cause they are not Matt Kuchar. Do many members at your club look like Adam Scott?

[simmsy]

First u say runner style then u say what Matt kuchar wears. His Ashworth are nothing like runner style.

[simmsy]

And plenty of players are still wearing your FJ xps or icon styles so I don't think u need to worry too much

[madboarder]

Yeah they all start on the 10th tee. They love the back holes? They all want to play with me. Matt Kuchar is not very good looking!
Get on fire at RP the all the cardigan wearing, runner shoe style wearing, comb over members will not know what to do? Say hi to "Jim the bandit" from me if you see him?

[madboarder]

Funny you mention that. I do have 3 pairs of FJ classics and I dig my red, white and blue FJ broges that I used to take the spikes out and wear to the disco!

[madboarder]

Matt Kuchar wears Ashworth? It has been 10 years since last playing golf!!! He needs some fashion tips? Back in my day he wouldnt be allowed to play wearing shoes like he wore today. And to do it at RM?

Did u hit puberty? ;-)

If u have wide feet try some from the adidas or puma ranges. I think I have a pair of FJ sports that are pretty wide as well.

I disagree. I haven't found a pair of Adidas that were wide enough in the toe yet. Simmsy has had the same issue.

[Yossarian]

Adidas is terrible for width IMO.

Madboarder Jim says to say hi. Heaf has his putter. RIP.

[mrbluu]

I disagree. I haven't found a pair of Adidas that were wide enough in the toe yet. Simmsy has had the same issue. I havent found that issue and my feet are pretty wide, but I have normal size toes...

[simmsy]

adidas are narrow shoes no doubt.

[Ashes]

I was fitted at the Asics fitting studio in London and was put in a 12E, which I think is the wider version. Used to have a tough time finding footy boots wide enough.

Wear Adidas golf shoes size 12 and 13 and find both plenty wide.

[Yossarian]

You played footy?

[Ashes]

You played footy?

I wandered around aimlessly on a footy field, yes.

Times pi R squared. I have tried plenty of Adidas and Pumas, Adidas I find quite narrow, and Pumas aren't a lot better. Both are blister fests for me. Whereas I haven't had any issues with Footjoys, nor more recently Callaway Del Mars or Oakleys.

I am trying to think of an AFL strikerate joke.

Footjoy Dry Joy or Ecco Bioms are my utopia.

With your complexion and height, you could be an effective goal post.

Can't be sure about that but you are without doubt the worst golfer I have ever seen that comes from a cricketing background. Usually cricketers and hockey players are good ball strikers, your hand/eye suggests you were perhaps the 12th man on a few occasions.

Why the hell doesn't it work the other way then!?

I was that bad of a batsmen that the guys in the club quite often asked me "Are you sure you're not meant to be Left Handed?"

I faced one ball like that and they said "OK, never mind".

Pricks.

[simmsy]

Really?
Man I thought you were like Garfield Sobers.

[Ferrins]

Are Adicross any good?

Thinking that trail shoes are the best option for golf.

You don't think you'd need awesome hand eye coordination to make any sort of contact with the ball with my swing??

I'm like Garfield Sobers at golf. Nothing else. :lol:

Ive been a big fan of full leather lined shoes. Bought a pair of FJ Icons on sale and after 1 round they were fine. THe leather has softened more as Ive worn them. Sports shoes with the padded rear mesh in the heal is a good idea but I find that it tears well before the shoe is past its use by date. Ive had the same problem with tennis shoes. I had a pair of Ecco golf shoes last 8 years of part time golf.
