Features
The Adidas Tech Response shoe combines mesh and synthetic materials that provide stability and the comfort of lightweight breathability of an athletic shoe. The insole is lightweight for comfort, while the injection-molded EVA midsole helps reduce weight 20 percent to fight fatigue. The outsole has durable adiWear rubber with Traxion, and the clog resistant DTCA cleats have improved grip and stability. The shoe also features an anatomically correct foot shape and additional room in the toe to give more walking comfort.
Identification
The Tech shoe comes in one color scheme: metallic silver with white and black trim. The adidas logo is on the tongue of the, and the side of the shoe features adidas's trademark three stripes. It also has white laces, black soles and silver plastic spikes.
Size
This golf shoe is available in the medium model in sizes 7 thru 12.5 (including half sizes) and 13, 14 and 15. It is also available in the same sizes in the wide model.
Benefits
This adidas golf shoe is one of the cheaper shoes on the market--at just $59.95, it is a more affordable shoe for golfers on a budget. Also, having an athletic shoe is beneficial to golfers who experience foot or back pain while playing. Since it fits more like a running shoe than a dress shoe, some golfers might find it more comfortable. Beginning golfers would benefit because the shoe can help them transition into a more advanced golf shoe like a professional golfer might wear. Many beginners play in athletic shoes, so this shoe is the closet thing a golfer can get to that and still have spikes.
Considerations
All golfers should try on shoes before deciding which is right for them. Many athletic golf shoes clash with a golfer's attire, so amateur golfers who play constantly would probably be better off wearing a shoe that goes better with slacks. The tech shoe goes with shorts or a shoe for the more recreational golfer.
