True Linkswear, Nike Lunar Control, Adidas Tour 360 ATV

[Golfnole3]

Which one?

Between these 3 shoes which have the perfect blend of comfort and stability to you? I realize that the ATV's will probably be the most stable and the Trues will the the most comfortable. Thanks!

[TYSHYNE]

Here's one for the Lunar Controls! I have a variety of golf shoes ( Adipures, cell fusion, Nike zoom elite). While each have there prospective strengths I'd say hands down in terms of style, function, and comfort the Lunar Controls are the best golf shoe I've owned. I will say I'm intrigued by the True's myself but for me, no matter how comfortable they are they can never be as pleasing to the eye as the Nikes.

[Hstead]

I wouldn't count the Trues out for stability. I have very sensitive ankles due to gout and my Trues are by far the best for stability. They are lower to the ground. I have experienced zero slippage.

[Chilidog]

I would consider the Adidas Crossflex as well....best minimalist shoe that I've tried.

[Laws of Woo]

I love my Trues. I have a pair of Tours and a pair of Stealths. Both are incredibly comfortable, and surprisingly very stable for a spikeless shoe. I've had no problems with slippage with them.

[mctrees02]

I don't care how stable a shoe is if my feet hurt for 2 days after I walk 18 holes in the Texas summer heat. That being said, I own 4 pairs of TRUE's now and have no desire to try anything else. I haven't had any slippage in normal situations (excluding side hills with one foot in the sand) and they even held up well when playing 7 holes during a downpour a few weeks ago (I wish I could say the same for keeping my grips dry)!

I appreciate the advice but I've narrowed my shoe selection down to these 3. Maybe I'll try the Crossflex out the next time I'm by an Edwin Watts but judging by the poll results it looks like I'll have to try the True Tours out while I'm at Edwin Watts as well.

Love my TRUES! I have a pair of the older models and the new 2012 shoe. They have great customer service too!!! You WILL NOT BE disappointed.

[fjk]

My trues don't feel that stable in morning dew/mildly wet conditions. I much prefer my lunar controls in wet. And I don't have a wild twisting swing, but I do want confidence in my footing.

[sompin2do]

Trues all day for me. I have 2 pairs of 2011 Tours and 2 Stealth. Perfect for me in all conditions. My 3 pairs of Adidas Tour 360's are getting less time on the course these days.

[gr8blueheronbird]

Thanks to a fellow WRX'r, I have 2 new pair of True Stealth's(Black and Brown). I can not wait to give them a go on the course. They are hands down the most comfortable pair of golf shoes that my feet have ever experienced.
They also fit(unlike the Ecco Bioms) for a 9.5 size feet. The only store in our area that carries them is Golfsmith. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a comfortable pair of golf shoes to try these on. If you put about $100.00 more of stuff in your cart, GS has a $100.00 off coupon and talk to a sales guy and they carry around $20.00 off coupons so you can save $120.00 on a $500.00 purchase.

[sheppy335]

ATV's are to me the most stable and comfortable shoes out of the group plus they have some good color schemes.

[fjk]

Maybe the 2012 traction is worse on the True tours. I like feeling locked in and they don't give me that confidence.

[Eternal]

love the stability in the ATV's, love the comfort in the Lunar Controls. But to me, the 360 ATV's are the best all around shoe.

[jshel]

I love my Trues. I also have a pair of Lunar Controls and have had previous versions of the 360s.

At this point, I have no interest in wearing shoes with traditional spikes. The spikeless shoes are lighter and more comfortable. My feet feel much better at the end of the round and the next morning.

I might sacrifice a tiny bit in terms of stability, but it isn't a situation where I feel like I slip at all.

[RacineBoxer]

What color scheme true's would you get? The style is a bit off for my taste.


I bought Lunar Controls and ATV's and I prefer the Lunar Controls. Seem lighter, more comfortable, and lower profile.

I think my next shoe will be the Nike Lunar Ascend's (spikeless/molded). Ridiculously light, flexible, breathable and low profile.

Us mortals have to wait another half month before we can try them out. I do really want to though. They look awesome. What is the price point?

[chocoboy]

any flat footed guys use these true?

I'm flat footed and I'm worried that the flat and thin sole would hurt my feet after a long round.

[rfg1925]

Feet don't come much flatter than mine and I love my true's, my other golf shoes haven't touched my feet since picking them up. If they looked better I would wear them for everyday, that's how comfortable they are for me.

[TheU]

I had a chance to see the new Lunar Control for 2013...let me tell you, wait for these. They might be the best, and I can't believe I'm referring to them as traditional, traditional type of golf shoe ever. They are lighter, more flexible, more stable, and even better looking than the current LC's. I can't remember when they come out, but it should be in the next 4-5 months.

[KGWGOLF]

+1 for the trues

Could you give us anymore information on the 2013 LC's. I currently love mine and if they're any improvement over the current ones Ill buy them for sure

[DNice26]

Ashworth cardiffs...

[MileHighClub]

Had been a FJ guy my entire life until I discovered Adidas. The 360 series is a great shoe line and is only surpassed by the Adipure IMO.

[jparks678]

love my atv's but i havent tried any of the other ones yet

[CosmosMpower]

Trues by a mile. Since I got my stealths I haven't work my Lunars or 360 once. Only bad thing is the sole is so thin I stepped on a thorn and it went through the shoe into my foot, hurt like hell!

Nike Golf has managed to upgrade one of my favorite golf shoes in their history, the Lunar Control. New for 2013, the Lunar Control will undergo some design changes as well as upgrades to its performance. More details will emerge on the specifics, but reports indicate that they are lighter, more flexible, and more stable. The shoe’s platform alone shows obvious changes to its flexibility and stability. Flywire continues to be heavily incorporated into the shoe, and it will come in a variety of basic colorways.

The 2013 Lunar Control will include:

• Premium full-grain waterproof leather (no change)
  
• Full length Lunarlon cushioning (no change)
  
• Lightweight Flywire midfoot saddle (minor upgrade)
  
• Full length contoured sockliner (minor upgrade)
  
• Articulated Power Platform outsole (major upgrade)
  
• Nike Power Transfer Zone (major upgrade)
  
• 2-year limited waterproof warranty (no change)
  
• Champs Zarma spikes with Tri-Lok (minor upgrade)

As for the looks of the new lunar controls I'm not too excited. It looks like the swoosh is glittery, and I don't like the style of the cushioning on the bottom. I'm sure that it's very comfortable though.

[reubdogg]

Trues...I had Adidas (they are now backups)...Lunars are nice too...but nothing compares to my True Stealths. Gonna pick up another pair.

[Llortamaisey]

The new Trues coming out in November are big upgrades. They have more flexibility than the TW13 but still have super stability in my opinion. The new sole design might be the best in this shoe category.
