Those shoes look awesome for dry weather disc golf. I may have to pick up a pair like that. Thanks J-Man.J-Man said:
Just picked these up; not cheap but the fit is fabulous and they are constructed for foot and ankle torque with reinforcement at the toe.

Everywhere I looked at Merrels/salomens was out of stock in my size so I went with a pair of Hi-Tecs that were on sale for 30. I might go back and buy me another pair since they were so cheap. They are just as comfortabe as any of the merrels/salomens but they are just a tad bit lighter in weight. I will be playing in a one day tourney tomorrow and well see how the react on the course. I have been playing in my skate shoes lately and they have been getting uncomfortable after the first 9 holes

Can you order those online for30 bucks? I'd give them a try.
I dont think sobut I could go and pick you up a pair if you tell me what size and pay for shipping.

Well its a little early for a real in depth review but I'll post a first impression review:
I first opened the box and was impressed with how they looked. cool!
I loosened the laces and tried to slip my foot in..........huh? Are these too small? Checked the size......it's right. Looked for the directions so I could figure out how to put them on. Finally I just pulled them on but it took A LOT of force. Once i got them on they fit like a glove. They need a little 'break in' but they're decent.
Now I'm a big boy, so good shoes are critical. I played two rounds and feet were fine all day. The Merrells definately are not as ventilated as my North Face trail shoes were, but it was 100 degrees today so I'm not going to judge them yet. The most impressive feature of the shoes was the durability. 2 rounds on concrete tees with plenty of side-arm toe-dragging and not even a scratch on the vibram soles. Absolutely no sign of sole separation, which was already apparent on my North Face shoes at this point. In fact, I've already received a refund for them.
Overall I'm happy with cham stretch II's so far, but I will write more as time goes by. I'll probably also buy a pair of Salomon Pro 3D's and write a review on them too.

Would it not stand to reason that you could do more damage to your knees in a new pair of really really grippy shoes?
I just thought about the ones I wear to the course, and at work, and everywhere else I may happen to go that is not one of these two.
I thought to myself that I should buy a new pair months ago, but low and behold, I still have the same pair... been about ( ) 17 months now.
I don't think they'll last 18 months, but I'm just thinking out loud now...

I agree with this theory. I believe that on concrete or rubber tees you should NOT have really grippy shoes. On dirt tees and anything else it doesn't matter. I believe your foot, ankle, and knee need to be allowed to perform the follow through. If your foot is stopped from pivoting by grip, you knee and ankle will take the full strain of the follow through.

Well it's been about 4 months since I first put these on. I've pretty much been playing exclusively in these shoes. Today the lace snapped which pretty much makes these shoes paperweights until I can get them fixed. I'm going to try and get them fixed via the warranty but it still sucks to be out a good pair of shoes 3 days before a big tournament. Oh well. It was a fun 4 months, but I'm still searching for shoes that can last at least a year.
What kind of manicured courses do you play on that cleats would be a problem? Even on the mowed grass of a soccer field it takes 22 people constantly running in wet weather to tear it up. Not trying o be a smart a** just wondering if I'm missing something. :?Eric O said:It would certainly piss me off, if I saw someone tearing up the ground on the disc golf course in cleats. Bad form.
Of course, I couldn't speak for your neck of the woods but that's how it would be around here.
