Footjoy Contour's are the most comfortable I've ever worn.
Golf Shoes
IMO you have to find a shoe that fits your feet well. I find the adidas pure 360 and the puma Titan tour ignite to both fit well, tiny bit of arch support. Otherwise I'll go with a true linkswear with an insert with some arch support, a cmpletely flat shoe with some room in it to allow an insert....Works pretty good for me. The titantour ignite are really slick looking and comfy.
I'd try to find somewhere to try on some different models and walk around the store for a bit.
If you have narrow feet, addidas boost style is hard to beat. Can get them for $55 at golfhq.com. If you have wider feet, I'd recommend the newer model footjoy contour fit. At $120 they aren't cheap (I am a last years model guy) but they aren't super expensive and feel awesome.
I walk over 150 rounds a year and the only shoes that fit and are very comfortable are
Skechers and FootJoy (Superlites or Contours). Especially like the Skecher Elite. YMMV.
Footjoy Freestyle. FTW, the most comfortable shoe ever for walking
I'm pretty much an Ecco guy now. Maybe not the most comfortable, but they last. The soles and uppers are melded together to form one peice during production so the sole won't come apart. Don't know if it's the heat here in Florida, but the glued soles always come apart after awhile.
There's an Ecco outlet store within reach of me now so I should be all set. Have several pairs which I picked up for as low as $59.99. I walk three days a week and find they're comfortable enough.
On a side note. Went to a running shoe store called Fit to Run recently. My wife had a gift certificate so she was fitted to a pair of sneaks for exercising (treadmill etc.). They put you on a treadmill and video your feet as you run. The purpose is to see if you need sneakers that are what they call regular or pronated.
Long story short. My wife has one foot that needed pronation and one that did not. So she went with regular. My video showed I needed pronated shoes in both feet, so I bought a pair of Mizuno's that were pronated.
Basically if your feet slant inward when you walk or run a pronated shoe offers more support. The pronated shoe has more build up under the inside portion of where your arch hits. First I've heard of it. It seems several of the major running shoe companies make two different models regular and pronated.
Most companies call this a "stability" shoe, or a "motion control" shoe. They can be good for some people, but the body is pretty resilient. Sometimes trying to make what seems like a good functional decision like that can result in a lot of discomfort if your body has adapted. May be hard to train it back.
I have (unfortunately) very flat feet which results in significant pronation. Tried very expensive orthotics, but it ended up warping my shoes and creating weird pressure points in my feet. Have been without them for almost a year now, and feel as good as ever. I'm theoretically at a disadvantage because my ankle ends up lower than it should (beyond "neutral") but it hasn't held me back.
I feel better after walking 18 without the extra crap in my shoes. Hopefully your experience is better.
But, again, for shock absorption, energy return, and overall comfort, there is seriously nothing like Boost.
I just have the pronated in an everyday sneaker (Mizuno). To be honest I got them because of the color. The pronation support in the shoe isn't that noticeable. It just feels a little higher in the inside arch.

Being a smooth swinging senior, I don't need that much grip on the grass. I quit wearing golf shoes. I discovered Sketchers casual sneakers/walking shoes that have the Goga Mats in them. These damn things are like a constant foot massage and are a blessing to my feet, knees, hips and back. They grip well enough and are EXTREMELY comfortable. I don't know if the Sketchers golf shoes have Goga Mats, but their golf shoes cost twice what their casual shoes do.

I just got a pair of Adidas Adicross Gripmores...Ill let you know how they are 
Had the Adipower Boost's but they were too narrow.
sdandrea1 I'm going to try Steve's idea, I have about 3 pairs of Sketcher slip ons, and I'll try the pair with the most support. I think the bottom grips will be OK.

Just picked up and tried out a pair of the New Balance NBG574 shoes. They were super comfortable right out of the box. And they were $60. Just like the sneakers, these have large toe boxes.

Thanx, Oly-just ordered a pair, good looking shoe!
I wear the Foot Joy Contour with spikes in the winter because it does get wet and the ground is usually a little mushy and I need traction. In the summer or good weather I wear FJ Contour spikeless shoes.
Went to the golf course with a buddy on a last minutes notice.
Got there then realized I had forgot to pack the golf shoes, only the second time it happened in the last 4 decades.
Anyhow, I was ready to go home if my buddy did not v=carpool with me. Can't make a golf swing on wet turf with loafers. Not good for my health for sure......
Walked into the proshop and they were having the annual inventory clearance sale. I could not even use my 15% discount from membership in top of the 50% off as they told me the 50% off was already below their cost.
Not the right color I want ( prefer black for the weather we have here for easy of cleaning ), but the size is fine so.....I got this pair instead of the planned new pair of loafers next month.
And I could not say no to this new pair at $44. Only half the price of my planned purchase for the new pair of loafers.
O well, worst scenario is no golf for two weeks, can't play in these weather anyway. Reminisce of hail and snow was on the lawn this morning. Chance of rain snow mix for the next 4 days.
