    Default New Balance golf shoes??

    Anyone got any experience with them? I wear NB shoes for work and gym as they fit my feet well, but have no idea what their golf shoes are like? I wear orthotics as well, though haven't been in my current gofl shoes as they don't fit well in them. Obviously will try them out, but just anything I should be looking out for with them?

    The pair I use are comfortable but the soles started peeling off a bit too early for my liking.

    My preferred golf shoe, with my XWide feet. Super comfortable and great traction.

    The sole peeling is a known issue, but not super common. Brosnan have been good turning around warranty claims about it when I was working in the shop.

    Mine was outside warranty with the amount I was playing at the time. I wore them today though, as my backups, and it isn't a huge issue with a little super glue keeping them functional.

    I have a few pair of New Balance that I got through Squizzys a few years ago for a great price ($75 from memory). They are a nice wide fitting, though a touch flat in the sole bed for me. The two issues I have had with a couple of them so far 1) the sole lifting and 2) the Faux Leather cracking and lifting. Actually there is a 3rd issue; Flat Laces refuse to stay done up! though that isn't really a NB issue. In the case of the pair with the sole lifting. It happened in multiple sole segments on both shoes. I re-glued them once, but this segment didn't hold.

    A pair of 574 greens landed on my doorstep the other day. Do seem to have a very squishy inner sole, but I slipped my orthotics in and they fit well, and found the feel even better. Just a bit firmer under foot.
    In NB I have been a solid 10.5 through 3 different pairs of runners and the trail shoes I wear for work. But I ended up with a size 10 in these. I actually couldn't find a 10 locally to try, but the 9.5 in this style was just too small (felt a bit squeezy around the toes like in my crocs) but a 10.5 in different models of NB golf shoes were too big. So took a chance.
