What we say:

 

 

The adidas TOUR360 XT-SL Textile is very similar to the Tour360 XT-SL, which is in turn similar to the Tour360 XT. The SL models are essentially spikeless versions of the spiked Tour360 XT. As you may have guessed, the TOUR360 XT-SL Textile features a textile and mesh upper instead of synthetic leather which the XT-SL has. This does change the feel a bit, but mostly these two XT-SL models are the same. However, they are not the same as the Tour360 XT. Aside from the different traction systems, the TOUR360 XT-SL Textile is slightly less waterproof but more breathable. The different traction system allows for slightly more flexibility, which is also more comfortable for walking. In fact, these are some of the best golf shoes for walking that you're going to find. Not only is the outsole comfortable for walking, but it boasts amazing traction also. The innovative x-shaped traction lugs pretty much eliminate any chance of slipping in all weather conditions. As with the Tour360 XT, the TOUR360 XT-SL Textile is really, really supportive. In provides a locked-in feel in all the right places during the swing, yet doesn't feel overly tight or unnatural. We recommend the TOUR360 XT-SL Textile for low handicap golfers in need of something comfortable for walking the course that also provides plenty of grip and support.
