I have 4 pairs of Powerband 3.0 in:

(leather / toe / stripes)

white / white / black

white / silver / green

black / black /silver

white / blue / silver

white / black / silver

I also have:

Adidas Tour 360 ($180

Adidas Adipure ($250)

Foot Joy Contours ($90)

Ecco Street Premier ($140)

In comparison to the Powerband 3.0:

Adidas Tour 360 ($180 - Similar but slightly heaver, and I don't think they look as good.

Adidas Adipure ($250 - Very very heavy (all leather), always look dirty, difficult to clean (I have white)

Foot Joy Contours ($90) - Really high off the ground, make my feet sore on the bottom, look goofy.

Ecco Street Premier ($140) - Zero stability, too wide, no support, probably wore them 3 or 4 times total, now i just wear them when I mow the lawn, also look goofy in black.

Cleaning the Powerband 3.0:

I put all 4 pairs in the washing machine for 2 hours with bleach and detergent. These come out brand new every time. I bet my oldest pair has been through the wash 8 times.

Sizing:

I think that they run true to size. I usually get wide but I have a pair of medium that I am able to wear without a problem.

My Review:

The Powerband 3.0 are by far more comfortable and better looking than any other pair of shoes I own. I do not believe that there is any down side to these shoes. I will purchase these as long as Adidas offers them with the same quality and comfort.

Wear and tear:

I think that if your going to play 3 or more times per week it is worth it to have 2 pairs. Color is not important but allowing the leather to dry naturally is. Rotating between 2 pairs of shoes will extend the life of the shoes beyond wearing each pair every day until they wear out.

Shoe colors and my opinion about how they look:

white/white/black

black/black/silver

Basically these are solid white and black. I wear them mostly with pants. Remember to wear black socks with black shoes otherwise when you look down at the ball you'll be constantly reminded that you look like a goof ball.

white/silver/green - My favorite color combo! They go with much more than you would expect. I don't know why but they do. Maybe because the green has a little blue in it? Or the silver toe is neutral.

white/blue/silver

white/black/silver

The blue is navy blue so its really close to black. I know that they also come in dark green. I think that they look better with shorts than pants. Usually I stick to the the shoes that have matching leather and toe colors with pants.

Closer to the ground:

Adidas has a marketing campaign about how close to the ground their shoes are. I think it matters a little bit. I noticed that Foot Joys are not that close to the ground. I feel as though being closer to the ground provides me better balance. However, it could all be in my head.

Great water proof golf shoes. Looks hot even a year or so later. What else can I say? Go buy it now!
