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?

Bite didn't really make a shoe for disc golf. He took the most common sole and attached it to an upper that followed along the most side supporting shoes on the market. I wouldn't say he made them exactly for DG, he just attached it to the shoe to sell them to a virgin market.

I was somewhat involved in the process, and I can tell you you're wrong. However, you are correct that they took some design elements from previous shoe designs because they were tested, worked, and were available. The Distance High and Distance low were to be followed by a new version of the DG shoes that, as far as I know, may STILL be produced. Crocs however, is keeping this information guarded. I don't think anyone should assume that they won't produced a disc golf shoe, but at this time, it's a big ?

Salomon Gortex Shoes are AMAZING.. I literally tromp through puddles, and through the rain, and my feet stay completely dry..
I'm not just sayin this because they give me free shoes, They do really work well!!

So you have a model that you would recommend? I have looked at a few models and some seem nice, but other just look like running shoes. Thanks in advance...Ray

bite should stick to fishing... do they make golf spikes?

[bobd]

yes

[John McMullen]

Yeah ... I'm sure this is why KC signed on to Team Bite ... because they suck so much. He must have just been interested in the sponsorship and free shoes. Bla, bla bla.

[bobd]

keep it coming...

You want to go PRO on this subject - no problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if he did this 'signature series' for free, then it was the shoes.. but Im fairly certain HE GOT PAID!

browse threw photos the top 100 disc golfers in the world, and I can GUARANTEE more DG'rs use Salomon than ANY OTHER BRAND....
