Favorite Disc Golf Shoes

[dickyp1113]

OK so it may not be the most important thing ever but what shoes are people wearin for disc golf? I wear nothin but keen newports. They have easily had 200 ft to every throw

I used to wear waterproof, Vibram sole Teva hikers, and then I just bought a pair of these:

GORE-TEX, Vibram sole and comfy as hell. Keeps my feet dry and I know that the underside will be able to hold up to any punishment.

I like Gore-Tex XCR trail running shoes, and a Nike 11 fits my foot perfectly. Currently wearing Nike Air Pegasus+ 25 GTX, with Nike Air Structure Triax+ 11 GTX on deck.

The Milos?

And I just wear whatever I have on that day. Shoes are shoes :\

I skip the Gore-Tex being that I live in Las Vegas and the only water I need worry about comes from the sprinklers. I've been really happy with these shoes especially considering the price.

I've had a pair of the Milos since early spring and have enjoyed them. My only complaint is that they don't come in half sizes.

They have held up well to a lot of disc golf and work nicely in mud, grass, and cement tee pads. The Milos provide more struture than an tennis shoe but less than a hiking book. A nice hyprid pair of shoes I think.

I don't think they add anything to my game but if I was in the market for a pair of disc golf shoes I'd go for them for sure.

I've been wearing the Keen Milos since last November, and they've held up spectacularly.. even after weeks of playing in thick mud last winter, getting them caught on blackberry brambles, etc. I also have an ultra-narrow foot and so have to cinch them *very* tight. So far, after about 3/4 of a year, they have a few tiny tears in the fabric on the tongue (probably from the blackberries), but the lacings and soles are still in perfect condition. The Keens are also surprisingly-waterproof. There were times I'd accidentally stick my foot in a puddle, and it took dunking one up to nearly the top before I'd get a wet foot. I'd definitely recommend them!

But that water will put you on your butt at red ridge. They really need to do something about those tees.

I also wear my doofy looking Gaiters.

I can't stand foxtails, though.

Why did I completely not understand what you just said?

Edit: Never mind, just googled gaiters.

I have a pair of Timberland trail running goretex for wet weather and a pair of Salomon XA pro 3d ultra's for dry weather. The soles on the Salomon are not holding up like I would have hoped. They are very comfortable but I would opt for a Vibram Sole next time for sure. My timberlands are a year old and still in great condition. they were a great purchase.

 

[U_NICED_ME]

Do ya'll think the Merrell's, Solomon's, Keens, and Vasque shoes are all flexible enough?

 

[discddwn]

Agreed. The milos great. My home course has 3 holes around a creek. The stepping stones that cross are almost never above water. I owned a pair of keen obsidians before these. They did not last 6 months before they both tore where the foot bends. Keen has a awesome warranty though on there keen dry shoes so I got a refund and bought milos.:thmbup:

 

[dickyp1113]

i havent tried the milos yet but want to. Keen makes great products and my newport sandals are the best shoe/sandal ive ever bought. great flexibility and traction

 

[rbsold]

I just wear teva hiking sandals. Probably wont work for you toe draggers, but they are so comfortable.

 

[shinypickle]

I wear tennis shoes. Nothing special.
