ECCO Biom Hybrid 4 Gore-Tex Waterproof Golf Shoes for Men - Breathable Spiked Golf Footwear for All-Weather Performance on the Course

I have two other pair of golf shoes by major manufacturers - one of them is pretty affordable with Boa laces - easy on and easy off and relatively waterproof. The other is more sneaker-like and claims to be waterproof but, in reality, is more water-resistant than anything. Plus, with a mesh outer covering that brand shows dirt all the time and the mesh makes it difficult to get all of the dirt out. That said, they are super comfortable.So, I wanted a pair that was the best of both worlds - waterproof and comfy and easy to clean. Having owned Ecco dress shoes in the past (and knowing how durable they are), and knowing their reputation for being waterproof, I felt it was worth it to give these a shot and add a really well-made shoe to my lineup.These shoes are built like a tank. The first time wearing them they felt just a bit stiffer than my mesh shoes. But they quickly break in so that wasn't a problem. Mind you, they are not quite as comfortable as my sneaker-like shoes, but definitely more waterproof. They feature nice arch support without being overly "archy". I normally wear a 9 1/2 shoe and I ordered these in their 9-9.5 size. They fit just right. My foot is just a tad bit on the wide side and I am glad to say these aren't too tight through the middle. There's plenty of room in the toe box as well.While these don't feature spikes on the sole they do have a pretty aggressive pattern on the sole so I do not anticipate slippery slopes being any kind of problem. I ordered the Gravel/Black combo and I really do like the subtlety of the look of the shoes. If you are used to wearing a sneaker-type golf shoe these are just a bit heavier than the sneaker versions. I recently played an early round on a humid morning and wished that I had these shoes in my possession (hadn't ordered them yet) because the grass was filled with morning dew. With the Ecco's water is not an issue - they breathe well but keep my tootsies nice and dry.It is worth checking the price on Amazon for different color combinations in your correct size because I found the price of these shoes varies significantly based on the color that you choose. These gravel/black versions were priced 40% less than some of the other colors in the same shoe.
