My dryjoys have only gotten more comfortable over time. The most expensive piece of equipment I own but worth it.

Does anybody have any opinion on DryJoys vs. DryJoys PRO? Worth the extra money for the "PRO" version or are they essentially the same thing?

Oakley shoes run .5 size smaller than others(Nike, FJ, Adi, etc), get one half size bigger.

I would steer away from Nikes, they hurt my feet for walking more than 9.

My guess is that ECCO's should be among the best for walking. I have 2 pairs of their regular shoes and they are extremely comfortable for walking; very solidly built etc. I have Adidas now and they are ok, but not great.

I have never seen any Golf mag review of golf shoes specifically for walking. Has anyone else?

I would think the shoes geared for Americans have little consideration for walking since the average one of us is a big fat cart riding sloth.

Well, I went to the golf shop today to try on some DryJoys Pro and GF:IIs (so much for my $130 limit). DryJoys were bleh in comparison to the GF:IIs. They had last year's GF:IIs (which the guy says is the same [censored] as this year's model, except it was made last year) on clearance for like $109-$119 depending on size and color - great!

However, I want them in black and they only have black/brown and white/brown. I can get black 11.5M online, but I'm a 12M. I tried the 11.5M and they feel about the same as the 12M, but I know the minute I buy 11.5M online and start walking in them they aren't going to feel comfortable anymore. Only way to get a 12M black is to order this year's model for $170. UGH!

Decision time. =(

Yes. Color should be the primary consideration when buying shoes.

guys, what do you think of golf shoes sold at big 5? are they no good? I read all your comments and the shoes you talk about are in the $100+ range. At big 5 I can get this for 50 bucks or this for 30 bucks

Echo's are the most comfortable hands down. Probably all out of his price range though.
