I played 2 rounds of 18 holes in these shoes. I found the shoe exceeded my expectations for comfort. I slipped once when it was wet; However, the shoe offered excellent traction. The waterproof system has worked well so far. I agree the size is a bit larger than I would expect, I would recommend going down half a size than usual. However, I prefer my shoes to be a little longer. The reason for the 3-star rating is due to a design issue. I've seen others comment with tears in their eyes. That's what happened to me in the second round. On my front leg, the supporting leg, I tore an eye open during the backswing. Eyelets for laces are not reinforced. I will be returning this pair and giving them another try because I love the comfort and stability. If this circumstance occurs again, I can choose other shoes.
