UPDATE
Comfort - Just jumping in here to provide an update after about 7 or 8 rounds with these shoes. After round 3 they felt fully broken in and very comfortable. To be clear, they were comfortable out of the box, but now my orthotics have settled in nicely and it feels like I've been wearing them for months.
Appearance - I got a comment yesterday from a random golfer in my group about how nice they looked. The white cleans up nicely after the round with a quick wipe down. I imagine even after a full season these will look brand new after a wipe down with a magic eraser.
Grip - One thing I have noticed is that like @medic170979 mentioned before - wet grass does get packed into the spikes quite easily. That being said, it is very easy to pick out at the end of the round and I have not noticed it impact my grip during a swing.
Performance - These shoes really allow me to feel like I can get after it with every swing and not worry about losing my ground grip or slipping. I feel very connected to the ground and it does feel like I'm able to generate slightly more speed/power. Unfortunately I have not tested them on a monitor yet as the closest option for me is XGolf and their launch monitors are hot garbage, at least at my location. But honestly, even if it's a placebo effect, I really do feel like these shoes are allowing me to unlock some extra giddy-up and I'm not even remotely mad about it.
Totally agree! I think coming into this review my biggest question was "how can these shoes justify the price tag?" I was expecting a solid product but I was not expecting a product that passes just about every test with flying colors. In my experience thus far, they are absolutely living up to the billing!
