New Shoes

dfarrall · 26 Jul 2011 at 18:07

So purchased some new shoes for golf today, wore them for a round and couldnt even finish the round, they rubbed the back of my right foot so badly theres no skin left!

Left foot was fine, i do have one foot bigger than the other but no idea which, and never had this problem before.

Im meant to be playing again tomorow but its agony!

Any short term solutions? Just gonna bandage it up for the minute but no idea what to do to make it bearable tomorow.

In b4 man up ect.

Several plasters, a couple pair of socks, wrap some bandage around your foot, another few socks, and your sorted.

Bearing in mind you will go up in shoe size for that foot by 2 sizes, but its all good.

Next time, break them in before wearing them out.

Dont recall seeing those down at tesco, they only seemed to have a couple of blister plasters so settled for savlon ones! Got a bandage too to wrap it up, just hope its enough!

I’m disappointed as there are no pictures of the shoes.

Tesco definitely stock them. Don't have any experience of the Savlon ones but i have seen Compeeds get many a crippled hiker through a trek

Possibly behind the counter or something then, pretty certain they werent on the shelf i looked on

- Next time ill hunt them down

That looks like some sort of suspicious cross between a smart shoe and a trainer. It's the kind of thing you'd run to a wedding in.

dfarrall · 26 Jul 2011 at 20:33

I just needed something cheap to get me out on the course and these were on offer.

Check out the white version!

Therein lies the problem, cheap Dunlop golf shoes

You'll walk roughly 6 miles when playing 18 holes of golf, so do your feet a favour and purchase something half decent. Ecco or Footjoy would be my first choices.

keep your wound open tonight, tommorow use medical glue on it, along with a layer with white plaster, which lets wound breathe, ud have to wear comfy shoes though, and i dont really see how ud be able to play tommorow, good luck

Are you not allowed to wear normal shoes or trainers on a Golf course? Because that's the only way I can see you coping tomorrow. Those things look hideously uncomfortable.
