Golf: Allowing people to dress like spivs whilst convincing themselves they are doing something exclusive.

A reason to drink with the pretense of exercise?

We've got Cricket for that.

Just learned a new word.
I happen to know a person owning shoes that looks just like those minus the spikes.
He also happens to be a Barrister.

Yes, but wearing them requires you to play golf.
I prefer this[^] shoe myself.

I ran with that myself... I had to take it back, it's wayyyy too heavy for running long distances, at least I thought so (maybe not used to "supportive" shoes). I ended up getting another model with less support (but lighter).

I wore New Balance 1123's until a couple years ago when they stopped making them, and I had problems with the replacement model. I'm a big guy (6'1", 210 lbs) for a distance runner and I severely overpronate. I wear custom orthotics and the best motion-control shoes I can find. The 'Beast' gives me a nice combination of support and fit for the orthotics, which have a pretty deep heel cup.
The good news is my running club membership gets me 10% off at my running shoe store.

I had a hiking/backpacking buddy that wore these on occasion and liked them very much.
|
|
|
|
|
They'd probably be good for that... because of all the support. Although not very waterproof so it would have to be fair weather hiking.
|

|
No hiking boot that I've ever seen or used is waterproof, even in the military boots were designed to breath. The only complaint he had was mud stuck between toes.

Last review!
Quote: Great hiking shoe but watch out! This shoe is very comfortable and pretty lightweight. The mesh at the toe breathes really well, but it has no water resistance at all. This is not a problem because the shoe is not advertised as water resistant but you should be aware that even walking through wet grass will get your socks wet. The good news is that this shoe is so well ventilated that they will dry out. Overall I really like it and would recommend it!

I guess I always assumed they were...

OK, if we're talking about ridiculous looking footwear then yous can all chip in and get me a pair of these[^] bad boys.

$400? Wow.

This is a sport where a bottle holder can cost $125[^]
|
|
|
|
|
And I thought photography was expensive.
|
|
|
|
|
I can afford the shoes. I can afford the carbon fibre bottle cages. I can afford the aerodynamic helmet and ergonomic riding clothes.
However, if I bought all of that I wouldn't be able to afford an actual bike.
But I'd look great.

You can wear it around the office and pretend you ride everywhere. Just park your car out back...
|
|
|
|
|
On a similar note if I had all the lenses I wanted I couldn't afford the camera.

Prefer these[^] like wearing slippers and no laces.
Will try for a pair of Ecco when those wear out.
