Shoes have been called the foundation of a good golf swing, a point I will not argue. What I would suggest is playing any sport with the proper shoe to support your feet. Not only should you look at price and comfort, but the construction of the shoe. In all fairness most salespeople are not trained to know the difference. Their training is sales.
A common foot problem for golfers, that can be avoided, is called neuroma, or a pinched nerve, at the bottom of the foot. It typically occurs between the third and fourth toes. It's caused by the repeated weight transfer to the front foot that takes place in the follow-through.
One misconception I experienced was only buying shoes of a major brand name in Golf, and not understanding what I should be looking for in a good golf shoe. My confidence was more in the name of the manufacture than the construction of the shoe. Also price. My way of finding the best was to pick the ones that cost the most. It does not work that way. It is up to you and me to find out what is best for us.
To better describe how to select a good pair of golf shoes is to take a pair of "new" shoes hold the left shoe in your right hand and twist the heel to the left and the front toe area of the shoe to the right. A good golf shoe will be firm (little give). Only after that simple test put them on your feet for comfort.
Now it is important to the health of your feet to continue to test your shoes. I have had some really good shoes, especially comfortable, break down after only a few weeks of wear. Appearance alone is not a way to measure wear.. test them. Keep your reciept and do not be embrassed to return them if they break down early. Check the warrantity.
The shoes I wear, and I have tired many, are manufactured by Adidas. The style I use for overall best perforamce and comfort has been their 360's. Now there is good news for you and for me they have improved a shoe that, for me, is tops in the industry.
The shoes below are offered through an association with Amazon. The shoes often are closeouts, and limited sizes. You may find a bargin given you find your size. Keep checking because the inventory does change.
Now here is a Adidas Golf Shoe that I have not tired, but looks interesting. I am going to pick up a pair and let you know.
It is a small commitment to protect your feet. Your game and feet will thank you.
