I have been playing for 3 years with the past year being more
consistent with practicing and playing. When I first go into the game, I
was always self-conscious about showing up to the course with a pair of
athletic shoes. I was always under the impression that I needed a pair
of golf shoes with spikes to play the game, so one of the first things I
did was buy a pair of Adidas Tech Response. Although I found them to be
comfortable, I still found myself wanting to wear my athletics rather
than golf shoes. This was especially true when I was walking a course.
Now, I barely wear my golf shoes. Instead, I opt for my Hoka One shoes
as my primary golf shoe. The only time I put on my Adidas is when the
ground is wet from a recent snow melt or heavy rains. I find that the
spikes do help with keeping me stable, but every other time I am back
into my Hoka. Although my Hoka have been great shoes for a few years, I
am in the market for a new athletic/golf shoe. This time I am looking at
purchasing the Hoka Speedgoat Trail Runners. I have been getting more
into hiking and really enjoy the traction they provided. I even think
they can replace my Adidas as an all around golf shoes regardless of
course condition. I was curious whether anyone else plays primarily in
athletic shoes and has some good recommendations for a shoe that can
serve as that hybrid all around shoe.
