The plastic spikes are imo a joke. I've been slipping on plastic spikes that are half new. Their existence only proves that technical innovation doesn't always lead to progress...

I want golf shoes with good & patterned rubber soles. They will stick in most conditions and you wan't have to replace those plastic spikes several times a year either.

I used to run (cross country) orienteering when I was young. We didn't follow tracks, but found our own way through the forest. This often included some of the worst surfaces you can imagine. Rubber soles work pretty well everywhere except on wet & slippery rocks. Metal spikes is the only thing that guarantees you good grip on anything, but it is not good for your health to walk on metal. A good rubber sole should be plenty good for golf. Any golf shoe manufacturers listening here?
