Summer shoes for wet grass and hard ground

waterwelly

I've a pair of golf sketchers (supposedly waterproof) that soak through when going through light rough that's a bit wet.

I've Callaway shoes that are bulletproof waterproof but starting to hurt the feet on hard ground.

Anybody recommend good summer shoes that are somewhere in-between?

I've 2x pairs of Footjoy Hyperflex BOA. They are soft flexible shoes like a trainer with proper waterproofing and soft spikes. Grip, comfort and support are all top quality. Couldn't recommend them enough.

You can wear them all year round and they perform excellently with no water ingress. In summer they're not sweaty or a burden at all. Sizes are huge so I'd suggest trying a pair in person 1 to 1.5 smaller than normal.

I've the first pair 2 years and they still work perfectly. I bought the 2nd pair at the end of last year in a sale in case they go end of life. That's how much I liked the shoe. They've a common spike system and I change out broken spikes 1-2 times a year because they cover a lot of ground.

In comps I'm always wearing these shoes but I have a couple of others for a quick 9 or practice. Nike Air Jordan low and an adidas/vice model too. They're both super comfy but the grip isn't the same and I wouldn't fully trust the waterproofing.

Duca del Cosmo is another brand I was recommended but haven't tried. They've a lot of spikeless/trainer-type models.

Thanks for that. €150+ in McGuirks but should last an age.

€113 in American Golf if you can get a size to suit you

I've been using Adidas adicross retro for years. Not waterproof per se but wet rough isn't an issue and I find them very comfy.

I generally pick them up for about €60, they're on offer at that at present. Can't really go wrong for that price and they're well wearing.

I also just like the simple style of them.

L.O.F.T

Ecco shoes are the best by a long way, unbelievably comfortable. I have had a pair now for two years and not a drop. Once cleaned they hold their shape and colour. However, they can be expensive

Another vote for Ecco shoes. I've been wearing them for almost 2-3 years now and they are very durable and has waterproof options as well.
