4.5
I have two rounds in with these on, both in a cart so this review might be premature, but so far I'm pretty happy with these shoes. To start, I bought these to replace my footjoy spikes that are still in pretty good condition. Those shoes were super comfy to wear so that same quality is important. Now the reason I wanted to try spikeless again is because my spikes were starting to give me knee problems. Now I know it's a mechanic issue, but my left knee (golf right handed) was starting to bother me in rounds/post rounds in my IT band area. I realized after wearing regular shoes on the course a few times that my knee wouldn't bother me. Wearing spikes, It sometimes felt like my shoe seemed so locked into the ground where my knees needed a little more give. My last spikeless where ok, but I felt like I slipped around a little too much in them, even in dry conditions. With theses pumas, I don't notice that as much. However, I was suprised at how shallow the grips where on the bottom of these shoes and I feel like they won't have that much longevity for this reason. When I showed a buddy these shoes, (who wears spikeless) that was the very first comment he said was "wow, those have hardly any grip" . On the first swing of the day on a dewie morning my back foot completely slipped out swinging. It didn't affect my shot so not a huge deal, but as the morning dried up, I had zero issues with slippage or knee problems.As far as sizing goes, others have made comments about them running big. I wear 12s but occasionally an 11.5 fits a little better. So I decided to play it safe and ordered an 11.5. Honestly, trying them on, I almost considered sending them back as they felt a little too snug. I think a 12 would have fit just fine honestly. However I decided to keep them and see if they loosened up after a round and they do fit better now. So honestly I'm not sure what the right choice is on sizing, I personally wouldn't put that much weight into the sizing issue.For the price, it's honestly hard to argue with these shoes, pretty close to perfect when you take that into consideration!
