Do womens golf shoes run the same size as a sneaker? and.......?

Where is the best web sight to buy Women%26#039;s golf shoes and larger size golf clothing? I am looking for a pair of Oakley Womens Golf shoes size 9 1/2-10

Do womens golf shoes run the same size as a sneaker? and.......?
Never buy golf shoes from the web sites! Each maker has a different last even for the same size. Since golf is the walking game you should try the shoes to see if they are comfortable. So go to the sports store , the pro shop, or the shoe stores all of who should carry golf shoes.. Do not get steel spikes because many courses no longer allow steel on their premises..Find the fit you like, the style and the price and good walking. See you on the course.

Reply:generally they do run the same size but for comfort I have gone to the next size up as I have wide feet. You can go to the nearest pro shop and they will custom fit a pair for you.





and googie is right - DONT buy on the internet
Reply:I can%26#039;t answer your question about where to buy the shoes but, yes they do run the same size as regular shoes. You do want to get shoes that have cleats that can be changed. I think they are called Quicklock.

Golf Shoes or Tennies?

I%26#039;m joining the HS golf team, and I was wondering if I should go buy golf shoes or wear my regular tennis shoes? Do I really need golf shoes?

Golf Shoes or Tennies?
I would say yes, because all high school golf teams will require that you to walk the course and carry your bag. Golf shoes are essential for keeping your balance in tight lies or just about anywhere on the course when you are swinging. Tennis shoes will damage the greens so they are not a good idea. I%26#039;m pretty sure that the school will probably require golf shoes so I would ask the golf coach. Good luck!
Reply:Golf shoes are made for playing golf. Tennis shoes are made for playing tennis. Where%26#039;s the problem. Do you think they%26#039;re lying to you?
Reply:it is not needed to wear golf shoes, although some clubs require it, because tennis shoes may tear up the green. it would be better to wear golf shoes, but its not required
Reply:If you want to be classy (which the high-end sport of golf is...) yes. but remember you%26#039;re only walking from green to green....(unless you have a golf cart, in which case you are riding)
Reply:A good tennis shoe with good gripping soles is fine when it is dry.


Golf shoes are best when it is wet,they give you better grounding,and keep your feet and socks dry!


Also many golf shoes now are spikeless,and that is what i prefer to use.
Reply:golf shoes would be good b/c they don%26#039;t mess up the greens that bad but if you wear tennis shoes just be careful and they will get really grassy when it%26#039;s wet!
Reply:girls golf was in the fall, when school started. i know because i play for my school team
Reply:I%26#039;d wear golf shoes. When the grass is dry, it doesn%26#039;t make a big difference. But when its wet, golf shoes definitely help.

Are golf shoes a MUST?

for the golf season.. i was thinking just to wear my puma running shoes.. which have average grip... but im reading everywhere that i wont be taken seriously with tennis shoes and not actual golf shoes...





and the golf shoes that i%26#039;ve looked at are all over 50$ .. i dont think it%26#039;s worth it..





but are they a must??? for a school sport???

Are golf shoes a MUST?
I would recommend golf shoes because you need to grip the grass when you swing. In my experience, wearing tennis shoes will cause your feet to slide if you really try to rip a shot.





You could still golf without them... but it might put you at a slight disadvantage. There is no rule saying you must wear them.
Reply:Not really a must. A guy on our varsity team wore skateboard shoes lol Our coach did not like that too much. They do help though and people will probably take you more seriously.
Reply:Golf shoes arent i suppose neccessary unless its raining. If its raining or the ground is wet golf shots are important. Regular sneakers wont give you a good grip and youll probably slip a lot. When its a nice day and stuff its not that important...i forgot my golf shoes once and i ended up shooting one of my better rounds. =] actually i won the golf tourny!
Reply:Besides grip, the other thing golf shoes priovide is stability - when you swing, your weight is shifting from the outside of your right foot, to the outside of your left foot if you swing right handed.





If you grab a pair of golf shoes off the shelf, and try to twist the soles, you%26#039;ll find theyre very stiff. This provides the support you need and keep you from killing your feet.





This might not be an issue for you now, since you are school age, but it%26#039;s something you will want to do in the future.
Reply:You can play barefoot if you want to. Sam Snead used to practice barefoot in an effort to work on balance. It must have worked. With today%26#039;s chemicals. weed killers, and insect killers that are applied to the golf course I don%26#039;t know if playing barefoot is advisable. A simple sneaker is good enough. You%26#039;ll know when you need to graduate to golf shoes.
Reply:a must, no, an advantage...yes, on level ground it shouldnt make a big difference, on an uneven surface or off a hill you will not be able to dig in...on a slightly damp surface not having spikes will be a hinderance...spend the money, you wont regret it...
Reply:go to golfshoeonly.com they have nike for under 20.00 U.S.D.
Reply:If Your shoes determine whether you are taken seriously as a golfer.....there is a problem. Are Golf shoes a %26quot;must%26quot;? Millions of people wear running shoes, cross country shoes, Cross trainers, etc every week playing golf. Is there an advantage....sure is. Better footing in a sport that demands balance precision........and yep they are a bit pricey......go with what you can comfortably afford.
Reply:Here is a golf school that has lots of great info about the golf industry. They may have some tips on whether or not it is OK to where something other than golf shoes. If you are playing quite a bit, it may be something worth investing in.

Hope you find some good information
Reply:Golf shoes are not a must. Your tennis shoes will be fine and may even teach you better balance. I%26#039;m a golf professional and, although I usually wear golf shoes, I have played in sneakers (tennis shoes), sandals and even barefoot. In fact, the late great Sam Snead played barefoot when he was younger.
Reply:They are not a must, but I would recommend in a sport thats already very difficult to give yourself every advantage that you can. If you swing very balanced and never try to really kill the ball I don%26#039;t see a big need for them. I often practice with out them to try to improve my tempo and make sure that I%26#039;m not swinging too hard.
Reply:I have two good pairs of golf shoes and I paid less than $30 for each. A few years ago I got a pair of Nike on clearance from a store closing sale for about $22.00. This winter I just bought another pair of Top Flite golf shoes that are pink and white with a Kiltie from Target for $9.00. I%26#039;m new at golf so I didn%26#039;t know if these would be okay. I also picked up a pair for my friend who plays golf reguarly and she likes them. I%26#039;m always shopping for bargains so I rarely pay full price for anything.





Also try Ebay. I just saw my Top Flite shoe there.





I guess you need to remember golf is not an cheap sport.
Reply:You really do need golf shoes. Golf is hard enough without having to worry about your feet sliding when you swing. Go to tgw.com. They always have some shoes in their clearance section you can get for a decent price.
Reply:for your school golf team... they are a good idea. a lot of tennis shoes have a good grip and you can get away with it. but, golf shoes get a better grip and they will make you seem more like a %26quot;serious golfer%26quot;.


golf shoes are VERY worth the price. I played in nike shox for a year 1/2... then i went out and bought adidas 360%26#039;s and they actually helped my game.. not sure how lol.


but... they aren%26#039;t mandatory but they are a really good idea.


good luck and have fun!! :)

Can golf shoes be worn as regular shoes (not playing golf)?

I like these really nice pair of golf shoes, and I cant find that style in regular shoes. I was wondering if it was okay to wear them as regular shoes also. I do play golf too.

Can golf shoes be worn as regular shoes (not playing golf)?
Sure you can wear them, I suggest removing the spikes first, that way they are not trashed the next time you golf.
Reply:Sure you can, but the spikes might be annoying. They%26#039;re even slippery on hard surfaces. I%26#039;d remove the spikes to use as regular shoes.
Reply:Try it and see!
Reply:if u take ur spikes off u could, but on some shoes it is very hard to take spikes off and put them back on without professional help and $ spent... I don%26#039;t recommend it, but if u want... but atleast clean ur shoes b4 .. especially if u just went golfing
Reply:Yes, but I wouldn%26#039;t recommend it unless you remove the spikes, which can be a bit of a hassle. If not, you will wear the spikes down and have to replace them, which costs money. Also you could slip and fall, which isn%26#039;t good. Lastly, you could mark up people%26#039;s floors.
Reply:Actually Footjoy makes a line of spikeless shoes that are meant to be interchangeable as regular shoes.

I don%26#039;t think anyone would mind if you wore your golf shoes as %26#039;regular%26#039; shoes!
Reply:If you like the noise! Every time you walk on a hard surface you will hear a clickity clack!
Reply:You%26#039;re such a girl! They do make teaching shoes that don%26#039;t have the spikes. However, I haven%26#039;t seen them for ladies. That doesn%26#039;t mean they are not made because there are female teaching professionals.
Reply:Well i guess you could take the spikes off. and wear them

can anyone tell me their personal preference on spikeless or spiked shoes. i know most courses dont allow metal spikes. but the rubber ones or spikeless thanx

Golf Shoes?
Having not worn metal spikes in several years, I can%26#039;t say I know the difference anymore.


As far as a preference of soft spikes, I%26#039;d have to say the Champ Stinger has my vote. In my opinion, they%26#039;re just as good as any metal spikes. Champ also makes a Pro Stinger version that has a small metal spike in the middle (made specifically for the European market).


Here%26#039;s the link http://www.champspikes.com/golf.htm
Reply:Champ spikes are good, but the cost of replacement you can buy another pair of Nike golf shoes at a discount store rather than replacing the spikes.
Reply:Been wearing soft spikes for about 10 - 15 years......I guess I like them.....beats Tenny runners for wet surfaces any day

By sales revenue it%26#039;s Nike.





However I personally find footjoy more comfortable.
Reply:Hands down FootJoy.
Reply:I%26#039;ve tried both. I prefer Nike. Go to a store that has both, try them on, and walk around. Get ones that have a 2 year waterproof warranty.
Reply:I%26#039;m gonna say like on the putter one shoes are shoes, they%26#039;re not gonna make you play any better. but I%26#039;ll say footjoys
Reply:You cannot go wrong with Foot Joys. I have never had a problem with them. Everytime I buy another brand, I end up hating them.

Golf shoes?

whats the best way do dry out sopping wet golf shoes in less than 24 hours without damaging them.(leather is used in the shoes)

Golf shoes?
I%26#039;ve dried out sopping wet sneakers using a floor fan. I placed the sneakers directly in front of the fan with the opening facing the fan so the air can circulate inside the shoe. Not sure how well it would work on a golf shoe. I wouldn%26#039;t use heat because the leather may dry sooner than the rest of the shoe and then may crack or split. Don%26#039;t know if I helped. Good luck.
Reply:I have heard that you can dry out shoes in a microwave oven. Seemingly, you put them on a medium defrost program along with a glass of water and they will dry them out.





I would try it with an old microwave and an old pair of leather shoes first to see if it works. Make sure there are no metal parts, like spikes, on the shoes.





On the other hand, a South African named Cheslyn Swart has invented a %26quot;microwave%26quot; for sports shoes which cleans them and then dries them.





Check out the story below. I haven%26#039;t been able to find where they sell it though.
Reply:put newspaper inside. the paper will suck up the moisture really well. and put them by a heat vent.

i have just started golf and am wondering if you can walk on the path with golf shoes,i have to get out the car and then i get on the course,but in between getting out of the car and onto the course i have to walk on concrete.will the shoes be alright.

Golf shoes?
You will be fine the cleats will wear out faster but will still last a long time. Just get some shoes that have removable/changable cleats, so the actual sole will not wear out.
Reply:You will be fine. I do this all the time and mine are in good condition still and I played spring, summer, fall 2 times a week.





Make sure you get a pair that are waterproof.
Reply:YEAH.


YOUR SHOES WILL BE OK.


BUT JUST TO TELL YOU,


YOUR SPIKES WILL BE WEARING OUT MORE YOU WALK ON THE PATHS.


WALKING ON THE GRASS DOESN%26#039;T, BUT WALKING ON CONCRETE PATH WILL WEAR IT OUT.
Reply:Several of the courses in CT no longer allow metal spikes to be worn on the course.I now have Etonics with the serated sole which are fantastic and show little wear in four years and Footjoys where I have had two changes of spikes in two years. The spikes consist of tiny nubs which break off when climbing over rocks or gravel . These are a horrible design but are good on sloping surfaces.
Reply:yes,you will be okay when walking on pavement just don%26#039;t drag your shoes when walking ,and the cleats are replaceable.
Reply:You%26#039;ll be fine, keep an eye on your soft spikes and change them when you feel that you need to. I change mine about half way through the season.

Hey golfers, I%26#039;m looking for some golf shoes. I%26#039;m going on the golf course next weekend and was wonder what kind of golf shoes you guys would recommend for the %26quot;pros%26quot;. I want to get the best there is, yet a reasonable price though.

Golf shoes?
Footjoy DryJoys Pro or the GF II are great shoes.
Reply:Best features of golf shoes are:


1. They have stiffer soles. If you walk the course for 18 holes this makes a big difference. I forgot my golf shoes and wore my doc martins and my feet were killing me.


2. They%26#039;re far superior at keeping your feet dry compared to regular shoes.


3. Better traction when you need it.





Footjoy and Nike make some good looking, cumfy shoes. I%26#039;ve seen some for as little as $50-$60.





Don%26#039;t buy anything used or hand-me-downs from a friend either. We%26#039;re talking about your feet here. Very important! Take care of them!
Reply:nike sp-8..there cheap there only 170
Reply:FJ%26#039;s, anykind.
Reply:sneakers are just fine, golf shoes are a bogus ripoff
Reply:foot joys are good and reasonableand golf shoes do help your game they keep your feet from slipping
Reply:any type of footjoys
Reply:Golf shoes can help your game, especially if the course is wet and in the sand. Go to you local sports store and try some on because just like regular shoes or sneakers you want to make sure you are comfortable. Nike makes some reasonably priced golf shoes (around 50 dollars) that should work just fine.
Reply:Golf shoes provide two main advantages over regular shoes. One, they spikes which help keep your feet anchored and thus help provide balance and stability during the golf swing. Two, they are generally waterproof to keep you feet dry when the ground contains moisture.





Apart from this, I would say the real key to finding ones that are the best for you is to find ones that are comfortable. Part of golf is walking 4 to 6 miles over a 4 hour period so it is very key to find something that doesnt hurt your feet. Everyone foot is different so try different brands to find the best comfort. Nothing could be more detrimental to your game than an uncomfortable shoe.





Otherwise, the amount of money you pay is like in any kind of shoe: the quality of the leather, the quality of the sole, the longevity of the material, alot of which contribute to how good looking the shoe is and not how it affects your golf game.





For me, I have always prefered Footjoy shoes from around 80 to 120 USD, or less if you find last years model on sale. I dont usually prefer Nike golf gear, but they have made a name for themselves making quality footwear so they are probably worth a look as well.
