Golf shoes

Post by thecolonel »

Why is every single pair of Footjoys here XW(Extra wide) do thais have wide feet? Really? One retailer told me Footjoy only supply Thailand with this fitting?? Bizarre!

And also why are golf shoes here 2-3 times UK price? Nuts! They're probably made here!

Unfortunately, a lot seems to be about protecting the jobs for the people.
So, anything imported is taxed to hell.
It's maybe about time that Thai exports get the same.

The reason for the larger size is mainly to do with ones fitting getting broader with the constant use of open sandals in this hot and humid climate. I have always used a broad shoe with a size 8, however since arriving here I now take a xwide shoe size 10. I have spoken to numerous golfing friends and they concur with this too. Perhaps your feet have not had this or perhaps you have not been here long enough!

Sorry, great shoes but not for this climate, x wide and spikeless are the best for here and also lighter

But maybe there is someone who wants to take a good quality shoe for a small price to his home country after his vacation.

Yes it's true, Thais have wide feet. I have a very narrow foot so I after buying a pair here in Hua Hin and finding myself swimming in the shoes, I gave them away. Now when I know I'll need a new pair soon I purchase them while traveling abroad. It's just one of those issues living here in the land of smiles.

Wide feet so they don't sink in the rice fields of Isaan.
