When I go golfing I prefer to walk the course and do so whenever I can. Walking 18 holes of golf is usually between 5 and 6 miles, so it’s important to have happy feet on the course. There are a lot of great golf shoes I want but most of them are about $200 and I refuse to pay that much, so I’m always in search of a reasonably priced pair.
I was searching on eBay last week and came across some new styles from Adidas, which led me to BudgetGolf.com. I ended up ordering this pair of Adidas Traxion Lite FM shoes for $66.95 after shipping.
I wore the shoes for the first time tonight, played 9 holes for league. It’s early to say for sure, but these may be the best pair of golf shoes I’ve ever owned. My feet were really comfortable and I didn’t even realize I had golf shoes on.
Most golf shoes have 7 replaceable spikes on each shoe, but as you can see, these only have 5 spikes and they are built into the shoe. They appear to be made from a much harder plastic than replaceable spikes so they should hold up for the life of the shoe. The soles have a lot more extra grips (which are similar to the Ecco shoes worn by Fred Couples) than your normal golf shoe. My foundation was very stable and I never slipped during a swing in today’s round.
As you may have guessed from the name of the shoe, these are also fairly light in the weight department. This can make a world of difference after a long day on the course. A final bonus is that the Traxion Lite FM has a modern look, making them very stylish. If you’re looking for a new pair of golf spikes check out this model from Adidas or look at some of their other recent lightweight models.
