    I have tried a few brands, Hi-Tec, Nike, Footjoy, etc. Just changed from a pair of 8 year old comfort joys to a pair of Bite shoes, due to suffering from heel spikes (plantar something in technical terms). These are like walking on a carpet for the whole round! They have lots of styles to choose from ranging from classic to modern trainer style and as they are not a popular make, you can get them for reasonable prices, £40-£50 rather than £80-£100.

    Well made, waterproof (where claimed) and ultra comfy.

    I have a pair of Bite sneaker style golf shoes and they are extremely comfortable. Not waterproof though. If I wear them with long pants, it looks like fukkin Seinfeld so I wear them with shorts only.
    Shorts with saddle shoes look retarded (saddle shoes with anything looks retarded IMO)
    Long pants with sneaker style shoes looks equally retarded.
    I know they are considered hacker-esque on this forum, but I am a hacker so it's appropriate. But for what it's worth, the Bite shoes are the most comfortable i've ever tried.

    I've got 2 pair of the Adidas Tour 360 II's. They are very comfortable and I've never had any issues with the waterproofing. The only thing I don't like is that are heavy. I've also got a pair of MyJoys (the DryJoy Tech) version that were supposed to be in a week ago. From what I've heard, they are awesome golf shoes. I customized them in the most retarded colors I could possibly think of and threw a couple annoying logos on them, so I'm not sure they will be "everyday" golf shoes.

    I wear Dryjoys. I didn't realize 10 year olds in China made another brand?

    I recently got a pair of HiTec V-Lite Trues. They are the lightest and most comfortable shoe I've ever worn, and came with a 1 year waterproof waranty. In the past I've mainly worn footjoys, but they are a little overpriced IMO. The HiTecs are as good as any shoe out there IMO, and a must if you like your shoes light.

    I've had Adidas in the past and they were ok, but the only pair of Nike shoes I've ever owned were absolute crap. I got blisters for the first two months, they leaked water (in spite of the waterproof warranty) and they fell apart in less than a year (didn't bother trying to get a replacement pair).

    I got the 360 II, love the look and feel, however the sole is starting to come off, they are only a year old, and are still under warranty so I think when the season is over ill try and send them back because they do leak....Also the leather is starting to look real bad on the bends, if you know what i mean

    I wear rubber boots with ice creepers. Good grip, and they're waterproof too.

    I have several pairs from Footjoys to Nikes. Haven't tried Adidas yet but plan on that being next purchase. Best are Nikes because of scorpion spikes and tread. Great traction. I come from old school golf days of metal spikes and I have hated the soft spikes for traction. Love them for the "non-damage" to greens. Nike's seemed to be best just because of the spikes. Dexter makes comfortable shoes. Not that happy about some of the cheaper Footjoys/Dry Joys. I like a lot more support.

    I currently wear a pair of Nike golf shoes. Not sure what kind they are, but I got two pairs for the price of one last year in the Pro Shop. I just had to break out the second pair last weekend too. Other ones have a hole in the left toe, so much for waterproof!!

    Dr. Schols has come out with a really nice pair of golf shoes too, they have the gel cushion, can't go wrong there!! $50 at Wal-mart too.

    I must be out of the loop. I was not aware that there were Air Jordan golf shoes. I have a pair of brown and white FJ DJs, a pair of brown FJ ecomforts, and a pair of black Callaway CG comforts. I have had good service out of all three pairs of shoes.

    I'll second that...plus I've had mine for 2 seasons in Oregon and they're still as tight as a frogs rear. From a waterproof standpoint of course.

    My next pair will be the Callaways with the adjustable sole widths because of my wide ass feet. I have the Callaway Sport Saddle and they are extremely waterproof, plus i can walk in them like tennis shoes and not feel discomfort. Don't pay for functionality or performance, that's marketing BS. performance comes from the aftermarket spikes

    ripit,

    You are leaving yourself dangerously exposed to some serious flaming with your frank admissions to a preference for saddles, which have been outed as gay numerous times on various threads on GR.
