Hey...
I cant realy give you specific shoes because we dont have the same feet.. But I had a Nike.. anyways... Your planning on grabbing one right??? I'll just give you tips..What kind of shoes are better for training? And for racing? For everyone at our clinics we recommend light weight shoes with thin soles. There is a certain philosophy behind this recommendation, which consists of several concepts:
1. The shoes should be light, so that their weight didn't deteriorate the feeling of the foot as a part of the leg. It means that the feeling of the foot wouldn't differ from the feeling of the whole leg, psychologically. Biomechanically it may affect the foot transfer in space and time: its speed, acceleration, and trajectory, which could all be deteriorated by heavy shoes. We can deliberately use heavy shoes for some special occasions of strength development, but not for a long time, and surely not permanently.
2. The shoes should have thin soles, with no cushioning at all. It reduces the weight, but this is not the main reason. First of all, it allows you to develop a very precise, refined feeling of interaction between the foot and the ground, while landing. Obviously, it is impossible to do this through a thick shoe sole. In a movement, when every hundredth of a second counts (the time of support in best runners is 0.15-0.20 sec.), the support time is a crucial thing for neuro-muscular coordination. When the signal for the foot to touch the ground reaches the muscles and makes them prepare for landing, it's already too late. And cushioning here is the factor which deteriorates timing and as a consequence, running technique, by increasing the time of support and due to this, loading of joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
Second, a thick sole and cushioning increase the possibility of pronation or supination, if the runner has a tendency to it. Hence, it leads to injuries, and we'll talk about this separately.
Third, in Pose Method landing occurs on the ball of the foot, not on the heel, so the thick shoe heel structure doesn't make any sense. Even more, it reduces the freedom of the heel, and ankle movement and decreases the calf muscle stretching elasticity effect.

Ecco Golf shoes. www.eccogolf.com
They are not cheap. They are very well constructed and very comfortable. Footjoys are good shoes for the price. I don't care much for the high end Footjoys. If you are going to buy high end shoes, I would rate...
1) Ecco GTX World Class Saddle($325 US)
2) Adidas 360 ($185)
3) Footjoy Classics Dry Premiere Saddle ($250 US)
Best bang for the buck, especially if you like stylish shoes, try the Ecco Casual Cool Hydromax.

FJ I also like FootJoy shoes and I prefer their golfing cloves too, but then I Like the to use the best every advantage you can take to win the game is important. That is why I also use StukOnTapes Gorilla Grip Golf Grip Tape! Gorilla Grip Tape has been sold into the Golf Manufacturing and Club repair industry for years. It is a very aggressive Rubber Base Adhesive system cast onto a 34# crepe carrier supported by a 60# Kraft Easy Release Liner. Gorilla Grip provides superior gripping with its extremely hi-tack and hi-sheer characteristics provided by the specially formulated adhesive system. Like FootJoy Golf shoes and gloves, Gorilla grip is for the serious golfers.
