Today from the Forums: “Great golf shoes under $200”
Today from the Forums shines the spotlight on golf shoes priced under $200. In this category, Adidas Golf’s Tech Response 2.0 golf shoes have mightily impressed WRXer tsecor, who says:
“Not only are these very light on the feet but are very stable for such a light platform. They wrapped around your feet for a very nice feel At $70; they seem like a steal. I’m hoping these last at least three seasons, and I’m done spending over $200 for golf shoes. It’s been seven years since I bought a pair because the last 360s i bought lasted quite a while. The technology of the newer shoes is ridiculous nowadays.”
Tsecor asks WRXers whether they have also found a golf shoe priced under $200 that was a great fit for them and our members have been having their say in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Power fade: “Got two pairs of True linkswear shoes in their mystery box black Friday sale. Strongly suggest if you find yourself in need of new shoes come November. $75 a piece for zero drop shoes is about as good as it gets.”
- Togatown22: “OP; nice pickup, I love getting a deal on golf shoes. Now that you know your size in Adidas models, make sure you check the off-season sale sites like Carlsgolfland, budgetgolf, TGW, ETC, and even the Adidas site for great deals. I’ve gotten multiple pairs of Tour360’s for less than $100. I definitely saw the 360XT’s (last years colors) for around $125 a few different times this winter. My favorite deals are the ones where I’ve been able to grab a company’s top line/tour shoe for around $100. sometimes as low as $65!”
- Markrip: “I’ve never spent more than $40 on a pair of shoes. I just get last years off the discount rack at Dick’s or somewhere else.”

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report
This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.





Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”

I’m finding it hard to find good shoes with Boa laces. That’s really disappointing. I wanted to replace a pair of Tour360s and could only get lace-up, including from Adidas themselves.

Ebay is your friend. If you are going to a store and paying retail for the latest model year then you are a sucker. 60 bucks can get you a great pair of shoes that were selling for like 150 bucks last year.
