Bubba Watson's New Shoes

[csiachos]

Anyone know what shoes Bubba is wearing in the Masters pics Tuesday Part 2 ?

[hanbergb]

I think those are G FORE Gallivanter shoes.

[Eustace1080]

Yep G/FORE. He posted a pic on twitter with his four different shoes for the week. I am surprised that he went away from the Oakley shoes.

Wouldn't surprise me if Oakley got out of the golf shoe game. I've never seen anyone wearing them. Can't imagine them being profitable.

 

They were aslo bought by that huge eyewear company out of Italy not too long ago.

looks like a return to a more classic shoe for Bubba, seeing how he wore Icons when he was still with FJ.

 

G/Fore actually posted these shoes on instagram the other day, hinting that someone would wear them. I both can and can't see Bubba wearing something like this (if that makes sense at all).

Luxotica. Huge is correct. They own 21 brands now. Like a monster gobbling up the competition. Disturbing. Less competition lets them drive prices up.

 

And I agree. I'm not sure if they give a damn about shoes no one wears.

I saw a pic that Bubba posted on his Instagram account about a new shoe deal being official. I couldn't quite tell what kind of shoes they are, but I like the look of them. Does anyone have more info on them?

Off topic but, that's why I stick to Kaenon, Maui Jim, and Randolph Engineering.

I think they are g fore gallivanter ? same make as his glove..

[csiachos]

They are pretty classy and cool looking, and about as expensive as old FJ Icons.

[Konklifer]

Back on topic, I think the shoes look great. Are they spiked? All the ones on G/Fore's site are spikeless.

Yeah. Oakley is getting out of the golf show business. So these look good. Have heard they are stupid comfortable. But I like spikes. So no go for me

[Creedo77]

Commenting on the Oakley golf shoes.....I was told last year they are getting out of the golf shoe business so thats why I think Bubba has gone to G/FORE (since he wears their gloves too). Oakley carbon pros are pretty comfortable (I own 3 pairs), but I'm tempted to try a pair of these G/Fores' on they look really comfortable

Where are pictures?

[Hudidad]

They don't even match. Those will never catch on.

 

:slow_en:

[ckay]

All he needs is a little make up and a red nose.

[hammy83]

Those shoes look like hovercrafts or curling shoes.

Good for him locking up another sponsor.

[Jbird87]

Terrible

[ErichZF]

Surprised he isn't wearing the High Top version. The shoes look good but are expensive and now sure how long the bottoms will last.

[JimFishIII]

Don't forget about these beauties....

I have the Camel G-Fores from two seasons ago and they are awesome. Well made, light, stylish. They're ridiculously over priced at full retail, though.

[El Shanker]

Any idea where these can be purchased in person? Would prefer to try them on before I buy them.

[Geaux Gators]

bump, was talking to my buddy that has the store. Oakley is "discontinuing" the Golf shoes, yet he was able to order them for "this years order"

 

so, who knows....

[Geaux Gators]

G/Fore has them on the website...

FeeBay has the previous models available... VERY CHEAP

I ordered last years maroon leather for 40 bux...
