What are the Best shoes for Disc Golf? And why?

I have been looking for a good pair of shoes to wear during my DG rounds...I live in a pretty arid state, but I run across a fair amount of water. I have tried the Bite shoes that are specifically made for Disc Golf, but the interior of the shoe is a bit weak and has worn out. I want to find something better...

Any suggestions?

I've had two pairs of Bite Disc Golf shoes since the fall. The reinforced toes are not reinforced enough. I know, I shouldn't have bought a second pair. The shoes are good in theory. Maybe with a little shoe glue or some electrical tape wrapped around my right foot...

Those are my shoes too....I wish I could find a pair that held up for more than a few months. Sad thing is, I have a pair of no name el cheapo, Payless shoes that I bought 4 or 5 years ago that are holding up better than most new pairs i buy today :/

Wish i could find something that the toes on the right foot didn't get chewed to hell.

you must be a lefty like me. I drag my right toe on my follow thru. My bites were doing the same thing but I caught it early. I did glue it up with some "shoe goo" and put a good coat on the outside too. This happens to all shoes I wear for DG so its not just the Bites. I will just keep a layer of shoe goo built up on that toe and I think these will last me a while!

I have recently bought KEEN TARGHEE 2 LOW and very glad. They are light, wide in the front which makes them vary stable, waterproof, they have sole that grips really well, protected front and back.

They might feel a little high abpve the ground, but it is not a major factor at all.
The only thing is that you HAVE to buy a half size larger.

My latest shoes are Northface high top hikers don't know the exact model but they are goretex and best grip of any shoe I've ever used. They seem to be holding up well to the concrete pads too.

The best shoes for disc golf are leather sandals with all the straps cut off. Throw them upside down and they soar pretty well.

next month im going to buy some new waterproof Merrells. i cant wait.

Salomon XT Wings WP

Amazing traction, great stability, they are super durable and plus they are waterproof. Everything that you need in a Great Disc Golf shoe.

Merrell Gortex Wraps Chameleon

Waterproof, comfortable and great grip.

I also suggest useing wigwam socks. Canada version fit perfect with the wraps and are extremely warm.

Nike Cortez probably not the best disc golf shoe but I wear them year around. even in the snow. water proof socks and drywall screws in the sole! works for me
