I drag my toe on my drives and the tee pad wears a hole in the toe of my right shoe. Any suggestions for a shoe that can hold up to being dragged on concrete tee pads?

Once you use Five-10's AKA 5-10's. NOTHING will compare. I'm truly in awe of how well these shoes have held up (5-10 Impacts). However, there is no perfect shoe. So, these are pretty stiff at 1st (designed for mountain biking and base climbing), but they have become very comfortable. Their "stealth" rubber soles are VERY sticky (made for rock climbing). However there are lighter compounds they offer. I like them, because of the fog around the course I play. It truely is like throwing from a dry teepad, no slipping what so ever! They have great toe coverage and I still have yet to wear through the toe area (approx a year of playing).
Best place to check them out is Zappo's. com. You can pop up a video on the shoes you are looking at and read reviews of the shoes.
Good looking shoes.
1. What do they cost?
2. Where can you buy them?
3. Are they water proof?
Thanks a lot! Now I'm out $90.00!!! OK...kidding I went to Zappo's to check out the video on those shoes and saw the Impacts on sale for $87.00......So I HAD to buy them lol!!Thanks man I just placed an order for the Five Ten Canyoneer 2's and cant wait for them to get here. Got em from ZBSports for $123 shipped, after watching a few vids and reading many reviews theses are the shoes for me.
Man, as awesome as Salomans were for me they just didn't last. Mine were super comfortable and waterproof but the sole would delaminate after about a month of use. REI let me destroy the soles of two pair in the span of 3 months before I gave up on them and went to a sturdier shoe.
Hey all...
I'm more of a reader than poster here but this thread has raised a question for me...
Is there a required footwear for playing? My usual footwear on the course are Keen Newport H2s. They are a slip on sandal/water shoe ( I can't get the pic to post right) Anyway, are these "legal" if I ever get comfortable enough with my game to play a tournament?
Thanks for answering, I appreciate all the great info I've gotten from this site and all you guys/gals!
