So anyone out there looking for shoes? I've been looking for a while for shoes with a Vibram bottom that fit my wide foot. I've stumbled across these:

I originally tried them on at Gander Mountain and the $125 price tag I found there was a bit steep for me so I decided to search for them online and I did find a pair for half of that price. I've had the shoes now for about 3 months and wow, they are the best shoes I've had for disc golf yet. After 3 months the bottoms haven't shown any sign of wear whatsoever. The shoe fits wonderfully for my wide foot which the Merrels and the New Balance Nimbus' didn't. The traction works great thanks to the Vibram bottom. The tread allows for no loss of grip in mud either. So far none of the seems in the shoe look like there will be any place for a weak spot like some other shoes show. The shoe does make you a bit taller but not to tall to the point where your scared of rolling your ankle when you go to pivot to throw. There is also a warranty on these which is great to. The warranty covers everything besides abuse and normal wear. Basically what I'm saying is this shoe is awesome. After searching for a long time to finally find the shoe I was looking for I can now say that I am happy with my purchase (and so is the GF, I was worse than her when it came to looking at shoes at the mall lol). Just figured I'd let you all know of an awesome shoe in case you were looking for one yourself.
