    Hi all,

    Just looking for feedback from people who have owned these, looking at picking up a pair for €59.99, seems like a decent price.

    My first pair of Golf shoes so my main criteria is comfort and durability and these seem to fit the bill, any and all feedback/suggestions welcome.

    Cheers.

    Have tried Aqualites, Greenjoys, Softjoys and Dryjoys from Footjoy and have yet to be disappointed with any of their brands. My Aqualites lasted me a few years of pretty much constant wearing.

    Where are they selling for €60? I'd pick up a pair again :)

    McGuirks in Howth, presume that it applies to all their branches, actually cheaper in the shop than online.

    Cheers for the help.

    I bought a pair a few weeks back, have dryjoys also. All great shoes. They come in a width and medium fit, just to be aware of this. Medium fit is quite narrow I feel.

    Bought them anyway, played 12 holes with them in Howth, fantastically comfortable. Cheers for the help.

    Final question would be regards maintenance of the shoes? Any help/advice is appreciated.

    Only advice there really is to get the tool (around 4 euro) for changing the spikes on the bottom of the shoe and at the same time get a new set of spikes (around 12 euro) while you're at it. Of course, as your shoes are brand new you wont need to do this for a while yet until they wear down. Although it's not a bad idea getting the tool now because some golf shoes ive bought brand new in the past have had loose spikes before i even used them so it would be no harm to purchase the tool now and tighten them up just to be sure.
    Also if a spike comes lose and falls off try and replace it a.s.a.p. because if you carry on round after round with a spike missing you'll end up destroying the socket and you'll find no spike will stay in there after that.

    great shoe's and good price
    dryjoys are a bit better for heavier ground imo
