I usualy walk and finding shoes that can be comfortable for 18 holes can tricky. When I purchased my Paragons, I tried several other higher-end shoes in the process, including , Nikes, Callaways, and Addidas own Tour 360 II and Powerbands. These won out as definitely most comfortable. I wore them around the house one afternoon to break them in and experienced no hot spots. I've since worn them to walk 18 numerous times, sometimes on hilly courses, and they have been comfortable throughout while providing good support and traction. They are also light. I was willing to pay more, but these were the best choice, which works out well for the wallet. I think the black/white contrast looks sharp and I've received compliments on them, but I rated appearance a little lower in consideration of the fact that some golfers just prefer a more classic looking or non-athletic shoe. If you walk, just like comfort in your golf shoes, or can't afford the higher end, check these out and see how they work for you.
