I think you'll get your money's worth with these shoes, even at an above-average price point. They should last for several years, and if they go - for a decade. They are well made, waterproof, have a quality sole, comfortable cushion and excellent traction with replaceable "cleats" and small permanent and durable lugs along the sole. Even in wet conditions, this shoe gives you the best chance of stability. The leather upper is firm when purchased but softens with wear and care. They fit well; However, if you have wide feet, you may need to choose shoes half a size larger than your usual length - this is a tight situation. You can start tight and then loosen up. I think this is the perfect golf shoe for people who are serious about their game and want to buy the right accessories.
