The best clown shoes that I have owned.
I have disc golfed for about 15 years or so in the foothills of Appalachia. It is not notoriously easy terrain. With that, I have always worn one pair or hikers or another in many different styles. Merrill, Keen, Salomon, etc. All have been great in their own right. Some have been durable, some have been light-weight, some have had outstanding waterproofing. However, none of them have had it all and been what I would call perfect.
Another factor that makes getting appropriate throwing shoes difficult for me is that I have very wide feet. like boat-paddle wide feet.
This has historically eliminated a number of shoes in the past. This honestly made me hesitant to order the Syncrasys too.
However, I ordered the super bright orange clown colored shoes not particularly by preference but because they were available in my size. When I first put them on, I of course had to loosen the laces to fit them over my flipper feet. But when I got them on I was happy to find that they are wide enough for my feet (if only just wide enough), light-weight - not barefoot shoe lightweight but not far off, and importantly, quite comfortable right out of the box.
The first time that I got to try them out, I went out in the morning when the grass was still dewy and my feet usually get soaked to the bone in around 5 minutes. I did some practice in my backyard course for about a half hour or so and my feet stayed bone dry which was just such a refreshing change. I also have to mention that the grip on the soles was just right. Not too grabby and not slick at all.
Now I have to tell the story that sounds like hyperbole but isn’t. this is true. It isn’t a big fish story.
My back yard course is more or less a pitch and putt, main hole is around 150 feet. Well, I went out with my putters and my new shoes on and after a few throws I threw an ace for the first time on my home course.
Moral of the story - these shoes are so good that they will make you throw aces.
Get a pair. You won’t regret it.
In conclusion I would like to see a slightly wider version be available and Idio, if you are looking to sponsor a mouthpiece, you know where to find me.
Cheers! Great shoes, well done.
