New kicks for 2018

New kicks for 2018

After finding out that each and every one of my golf shoes are no longer water proof in 2017, this year I have ventured outside my norms.  In the past almost all of my shoes have been Footjoys.  This year I decided to give the Adidas Boost 360 a go. 

These are my first pair of Adidas and my first foray into the BOA lacing system.  For those that don’t know, the BOA system uses a system of braided wires instead of laces to tighten the shoe.  The wires are attached to a turning ratchet type device that lets you easily loosen or tighten the “laces” with the turn of the BOA knob.

So far I have been able to use them on only one occasion, which was my trip down to Streamsong in Florida.  I didn’t encounter any inclement weather, as the weather was sunny and hot.  I can report that after walking 54 holes I had no break-in problems.  The shoes were very comfortable and non-fatiguing.  The only gripe I had is that the arch support is a little lacking. Not enough to cause any issues but enough to definitely be noticeable when I switched into my Asiics after the round.
