I bought these shoes for two reasons; they were spikeless and available in wide (D & E) sizes. I took these out on the course and I'm really impressed with them. First, they are wide enough for my feet. I don't know why more companies don't make shoes for golfers with wide feet, as I know I can't be the only one. My feet felt comfortable for the entire round, with no inward pressure on my little or big toes. These spikeless shoes held the turf perfectly, even as hurricane Sandy was approaching my little corner of northeastern VA. The swamp course I love was slick with rain from the outer bands of the hurricane and I felt totally sure-footed at each shot. These shoes grip without digging in and "anchoring" you in place. Even in rainy conditions, I feel sturdy in the teebox and can easily rotate on the ball of my left foot on long drives. Another thing - my socks were perfectly dry after my round. I love these shoes.
