After watching Martin Kymer having an excellent season on the European Tour in 2010, and not only winning a major at the PGA but also making a huge contribution in the 2010 Ryder Cup, I decided to get a pair of Adipure Golf Shoes just like his.
And boy are they cool. I was unsure which colour to get to be honest. I normally buy darker golf shoes but with the new Adipures, which come in white/black and black/white, they both look so cool that it was hard for me to decide. In the end I went with white/black and am really happy with them.
I have quite broad feet and it was recommend that I go for a size bigger! It sounds like a lot to jump up a whole size but to be honest it worked perfectly for me. I normally take a UK size 9 in golf shoes but opted to go up a to a UK size 10, and the size 10 fit me perfectly.
So, what is so good about them. Well, let me start by comparing them to my last pair of golf shoes which were made by Ecco. Let me tell you the Ecco shoes weren't cheap. Let me also say that the Ecco shoes were unbelievably comfortable and lasted me around 5 years! However, on putting on the Adipures for the first time it instantly felt like they were going to give me much more stability. By that I mean that you feel like you're much more planted and connected with the ground.
So my next step was to try them out for real at the driving range. After only a few swings I had already made up my mind that they are indeed much more connected and planted to the ground than any other golf shoe I've used in the past.
Although I haven't had them out on the golf course yet, as it's winter here in the UK, I've made a couple of hundred swings with them at the range and they're quite simply the best golf shoes I've used to date.
If like me you normally use Footjoy or Ecco shoes and are considering trying a pair of Adidas for the first time then don't hesitate to try them, you won't be disappointed.
