    Went for the sketchers in the end,tried on both them and the footjoy pro SL but have to say the sketchers felt more comfortable. Played 18 there this evening and felt great after them compared to my old footjoys. Thanks everyone for the advice

    Don't get too excited as I got the skechers go pro march last year and they are leaking this winter. But in fairness I never put dubbing on them so mostly my own fault. For Irish winters and golf courses waxing seems is a must.

    Have the Adipure TP and holding up well but do give them a break between rounds. Top notch materials and detail on these shoes.

    Ashworth Leucida shoes are incredible. Highly recommend them for comfort and 2 year waterproof guarantee as well.

    At the back of you heel or underneath? Might have to give them a pass so and look at Skechers or Footjoy DNA.

    At the back of the heel. In fairness there a great shoe, they feel really stable through your swing especially in soft ground. Two pairs of thick socks solves the heal issue!!

    Might try them on so and see what suits best. Cheers for the info!

    Edit: just went a bit mad and ordered a pair of Footjoy DNA.

    Ive had a lot of foot problems , started with plantar fasciitis.. escalated and I was in real trouble with cortisone injections etc. in the middle of it all I was referred to a foot surgeon in Santry , I told him I was a golfer . One of the first things he said was do not wear sketchers . They do not have adequate support, the memory sole makes them comfortable but the structure esp for someone with PF is not good enough .. just passing his advice on as I have never worn Sketchers . His recommendation was the stiffer and less flexible the sole, the less work your foot has to do.

    Tesco sell anti blister socks for your heel, they're thicker than normal with an inner sock, not sure how they work but they work. €5 a pair.

    I have a pair of under armor shoes and I find the exact same problem, killing the back of my heels. Got a pair of Nikes last month and they are so comfortable in comparison.

    These are excellent (even if that particular colour isn't perfect for winter).
    After using these for a few months now I think I'll only get this brand for golf shoe in future.

    Remember reading an article where they reviewed all the spikeless shoes. The sketchers came out on top.

    +1 for Sketchers for me. I have 2 pairs, the Go Golf Pro 2 for winter or wet conditions and Go Golf Drive (Classic) pair for summer.

    The Go Golf Pro's are the most comfortable golf shoe I have ever worn, and very good when it wet out for both staying dry and traction.

    The Go Golf Drive shoes are spikeless and also waterproof. They are lower profile so not perfect for when its really pouring rain but also not as hot in the summer months. Easily withstand a passing shower or two though.

    Boa systems are tempting but I have not found one that is comfortable (to me) to wear.

    Waterproof.

    The only difference is how high the profile is on the shoe. Walking through high wet grass with a low profile shoe your socks could get wet and eventually your feet.

    Otherwise I would be comfortable standing in a puddle that doesnt go over my shoe top. Have done so on a few wet days

    Bear in mind that no shoe remains waterproof if you don't treat them regularly.

    Hi,
    avoid boa at all costs,
    I was in a golf shop looking at shoes, as the FJ rep was present, I asked him was there an issue with boa, he said no, never. I bought them, the boa failed on my left shoe 2 months later, I contact FJ and the they have a readymade kit available, i.e. there are lots of problems, I couldn’t repair them so I had to leave them to a golf club, courier pick them up, take them to UK, returned repaired, from my 1st call to FJ to repaired shoe took 13 weeks!!
    guess what, the other shoe stopped working last Sunday morning as I togged out for my comp
    never boa again

    Actually mine have been great. Worst conditions I was in was going out in heavy rain about a month ago. Was bad enough that the course was closed down due to flooding. We played 1-4 and then the course was closed. The sketchers were dry after nearly an hour of the worst possible conditions for shoes.

    I've Ecco gore-tex and find them superb. Going into my third winter with them and they're holding up extremely well.

    Opposite experience here. FJ DNA 2’s BOA for 3 years and are excellent. Comfy, dry, no messing with laces too lose/tight...if they were more discrete I’d look for normal shoes with the BOA...have had no treatment so have my doubts they will get through this winter but going to hang onto them as long as possible.

    There’s a sale on the Nike store at the moment for some shoes. I know a pair I’ve been looking at for ages ‘lunar command 2 are €83 (usually €120)

    Regular treatment of dubbin will keep the leather supple and water proof because if it drys out it will crack and leak water.
