Skechers Drive 4 Golf Mens Shoes

I bought these to wear in Scotland and London where rain was expected during my vacation. I figured the textured sole designed for grip on the golf course and the water resistant upper would work well in rain and cobblestone streets. I was right. Although we only had 1 day of rain (a sprinkle really), the shoes kept my feet dry and grip on the cobblestones (uphill and downhill) worked great. I was extremely pleased with these shoes.These shoes look like a casual walking shoe and were very comfortable. I have a wide foot (EEE - EEEE) and these shoes were very comfortable. I never felt like I was walking around town in a golf shoe. I was also surprised that the nibs on the sole didn't seem to wear down by walking in the street. The nibs are some sort of hard plastic/rubber, yet they are soft and somewhat pliable. They gripped cobblestones and glided across sidewalks and pavement like a regular tennis shoe.I decided to try them out on the golf course since they were after all, golf shoes. I was skeptical that the grip wouldn't hold, particularly with all the torque generated when driving the ball. I was wrong. These shoes gripped as well as any of my soft spike golf shoes and were very comfortable on the golf course. I'm impressed! If the uppers were made of leather rather than synthetic, they would look like a high end shoe, but they served their purpose and I'm completely happy with them. Needless to say, I have a pair of shoes I can wear around town or on the golf course with equal comfort.

I've been through an unpleasant shoe shopping experience recently, but I finally found shoes which are shaped like my feet and have the cushioning I need.Unlike the "Pivot" model, which have a slightly narrower outline as is common in the shoe world now, the normal width version of these have more of the classic Skechers fit. However, I still need the wide option.I have a bad knee and need a lot of shock absorbing. These fully cushion my step. There is no bottoming-out. The various layers do their job perfectly. II could run in these easily.These do NOT have "memory foam" which is a marketing gimmick and not capable of supporting any weight at a thickness which fits in a shoe. All of the spring in these is provided by appropriate materials.The "spikeless" hard rubber spiked bottoms are good for walking on almost anything.The one thing I would like is to have nicer leather. These are perfectly fine given the price, but I would have paid more for the "LX" version. But those are not available in wide.

I played in these for the first time and I was impressed. They are very comfortable right out of the box and although I was skeptical about the gripping ability of these shoes, the grab the ground firmly and do not slip at all. I played in intermittent rain and the course was very hilly and soggy, but I never slipped once. These have replaced by FootJoy Dry Joys and outperform them by a wide margin. CAVEAT - These run small. Buy a half-size larger than you normally wear. I originally ordered a size 12 and I could barely get my feet in them. I reordered a 12.5 and they are perfect.

Found a recommendation for these shoes on a web site saying they were the most comfortable for people with large width feet. I tried a couple different pairs of manufacturer shoes, but these were by far the most comfortable.Follow up: After about 6 rounds, the tread on the back is already worn half way down. This would be a great shoe if with better tread life, but if I have to purchase another pair in less than a year because the tread wore down, I'd be willing to pay 2 to 3 times more for other shoes that I know last longer.

After reading the reviews, I ordered a half size up and it fit perfect. I wear size 11 in all my shoes (vans,Nike’s, dress shoes, etc). I carefully read the reviews and felt that going up a half size would be the right choice and it was. The shoes are nice, comfortable and offer great grip. I’m not a professional golfer or would even say I’m a decent golfer, I play because I like it and these shoes were great. Great shoe and a great price.
