This shoe is the most comfortable golf shoe I have ever worn. I have Rudd feet and have tried all models of foot joy, Ecco, Nike and others but always pinch or fall apart. On top of that, they are not waterproof , but these are. The fresh foam sole is comfortable for all 18 holes and the spineless sole grips very well. I am going to buy another pair for sure. Even though the tongue is solid it fits your foot and supports it well and dies make it a little harder to get on but not any issue with your finger or using a shoehorn you help.

They are pretty light and comfortable. Have walked about ten 18 hole rounds of golf. They didn't even need a break in period. Good traction on wet grass. I will order another pair soon.

These shoes fit well and performed very well on the golf course, providing a very stable stance.

These hold shoes are very comfortable. I had to go a size larger because of my thick socks and wide feet.

Not a premium shoe at all but if you’re looking for waterproof golf shoes on a budget, this is for you. Had to go up a half size. Also the jump in sizing width from M to EE is probably too much of a leap. I’m a wide footer and the EE is probably a little too wide. The heal of the sole is also awkwardly wide. While it’s certainly a comfortable golf shoe, the materials and build quality (example: you can hear and feel the waterproofing layer under the mesh) just don’t meet my standards. But I can’t deny this shoe’s value, if it’s what you’re looking for.

These golf shoes are a little disappointing. I've had new balance sneakers before and I expected better comfort. The material is stiff and even after wearing multiple times now, they don't improve. What makes it worse is that they aren't even very waterproof, which was my primary need (waterproof golf shoes) for wet course play.

I purchased these shoes back in March and already the top eyelets are already breaking under low use of wear. The material for the shoe lace eyelets lack any durability and need to be reinforced and or redesigned completely. Extremely disappointed because the shoes are comfortable otherwise.

Have been treated by a podiatrist for plantar fasciitis for almost 4 months now. Unable to play golf. Learned about this shoe from my local New Balance store. Great Purchase! Now able to play without pain and they are waterproof also.
Only one issue. The shoe is difficult to put on because of the stationary tongue. I use an old fashioned shoe horn to put them on . Problem solved.

About 2011, I bought four pairs of 993s (Made In The USA). I'm three years into my second pair and expect another four or five years of use. As with the first, they won't look good by year six, but the soles will be intact; not flopping as with most brands. At their end-of-life, what's left of the paper-thin soles will still be attached to the uppers. I couldn't ask for better quality.
I'm on my second pair of NB golf shoes and have had good luck with them.

After the first week, I went on a 10 day trip wearing these shoes on most days, including walking the Augusta National golf course. Absolutely comfortable with no issues. Would definitely buy again.

Very comfy and fresh looking golf sneakers! Admittedly, I have not taken them out on the course yet b/c it is very muddy right now and I don’t want to muck them up but I’m not worried about waterproof specs b/c I have an older pair of NB golf shoes that have stood that test with no issue. Very excited to step out in my new Summer golf shoe!

Love New Balance because I can count on the sizes always being true.
Have two pairs of this style and love them.
Stepped in water first time out and found out they are truly water proof. Have walked 8 or 9 rounds so far and very comfortable.

fits, supports, grips, and looks great.
my favorite thing about these is the fact i've been out on the course twice already in some nice frosty morning dew, and my feet have stayed dry.
this, and they look great with some joggers.

I normally wear 4 eeee width. These were too wide. Like the look and feel of the shoe.

The fit and size is perfect for my feet. I dont get many shoes that fit as good as these do. I am amazed at how comfortable they are too. When I first opend up the box and looked at them, the shoe is like one piece up around the laces. (Somewat like a boot) I believe this is for the water barrier feature of the shoe, anyway, I was worried that I would not be able to get my foot into the shoe. Once I attempted to put my foot into the shoe, it went one with no problem. I have played only one round of golf in them and had absolutly no problems or, no sores at all and I am confident that I will not have any issues in the future. I will be purchasing this shoe again in the future when needed.
