A friend of mine wears the ecco's . He swears they have superior grip to them.

He is typically full of b.s. though. Hope he's reading this....those shoes look weird Mark, get some icons for crying out loud and stop talking about how great your feet feel. Sheez..

OB, you must try these DAWGS. They are amazingly light and have no fabric and very little structure. They look like the trendy, fashionable CROCs. When Kevin and Jerry saw mine, they said "Hmmm, City, those are trendy and fashionable!"

Seriously though, they allow your feet to sink into the ground and really grip the surface and they were $35. Your socks will get wet during the first couple holes but they are so well ventilated that the socks dry quickly. And when it is summer and really hot out, it is refreshing to play without socks as it is like walking barefoot in wet grass.

I often wear my Hawaiian shirts and floppy hat to complete the tropical look.

And, I have been known to order a pitcher of Pink Lemonade for my friends. I would order Pink Lemonade for Win McMurray and Shaniah Twain, for example!

City,
Those Dawgs are indeed quite the trend setters. If you paid $35 for them, however, you may have overpaid just a bit. I'd get a pair myself, but if I dont' get rid of about 25 lbs, I'm afraid I'd make those Dawgs whimper.

Over in the UK we are much more traditional about spikes so only a few courses actually have rules stating that soft spikes should be used (including, sadly, the Old Course). I use steel spikes in my footjoys and do like them but this year bought some addidas shoes for the first time with the traxion sole - they are awesome grippers of the turf!

Oliver Wilson recently sported a pair of these on the golf course and I notice Jeev Milkha Singh's caddy wearing them too.

I've seen some people wear them in the gym and they swear by them. They look a bit too funky for the golf course I reckon though!

I find the traction of the Ecco Street Premiere to be better than soft spikes. The sole reminds me of the soles used by some tennis players for grass court play.
