I'm not a serious golfer, so my last two pairs of shoes have been from the sale rack. These happened to be on sale, too, but I think that's more about good timing for me. I LOVE these shoe! I've only worn them once at the driving range, but I can't wait to wear them again. They are comfortable, but do need a touch of breaking in. I did notice they were a bit warm, but it was 95 degrees outside, so most leather shoes would be. The only real drawback is based on aesthetics: you really need to wear a no-show sock for these not to look bad. My ankle socks that reach the top of my other shoes really stand out in these. But regardless, I absolutely love the grey - pink combo. They were dusty after my trip to the range, so I took my air compressor to them and they are like new!
