THESE ARE THE BEST SHOES FOR DISC GOLF!!!

I wanted to upload a vlog before the season started, highlighting what shoes I wear when I play disc golf. I’ve gotten a lot of questions about it recently, and I figured it was just easier to make a video about it rather than answer everyone individually. Super excited for the season to start!

I've been wearing minimalist shoes for 5 years now, even before playing disc golf! I can never go back to life before 😂

[@slydolos]

Took the plunge and got a pair of the Magna Forest ESC. So happy I did, they feel amazing! First round with them and I threw an ace. Thanks for the break down Casey. We need more pro's talking about their shoes for sure

[@_mcdrew]

Summarizing (mostly for myself later) Primus Trail Knit: All around shoe. Now a Gym Shoe Primus Swim Run: not as stretchy, Euro-only run. Good for dry rounds Tracker Decon: Go-to's. Slightly better traction than the Primus. Also fabric and not waterproof. Magna FG's: Waterproof all-around. Magna Forest: Tread is rubber. More of a boot tread. For super muddy rounds. Tracker Decon FG (high top): waterproof version of low tops. Ankle support is not for everyone.

[@clintsawyer7702]

Barefoot shoes are the way to go, not just for disc golf but for life and health. Been wearing Xero Shoes since before I discovered DG, and don't wear anything else now. Mesa Trail is my go-to in warm weather, Terraflex when it's moderate, Xcursion if it's cold. Will be getting the Mesa Trail WP (waterproof) soon I hope. I've tried several minimalist shoes, and Xeros are the best I've used.

[@robertsoliz6821]

Just a heads up, I tried the mesa trail WP and they're super stiff due to the waterproofing membrane they use. I had to return mine due to being too small, so have no idea if they break in, but just thought I'd warn you. Are the xcursion fusions stiff also?

[@clintsawyer7702]

@@robertsoliz6821 any of the waterproof ones are always stiffer because of the membrane, there's really nothing you can do about that. They are still better than traditional shoes, so you just need to decide which is more important, the added flexibility, or the waterproof.

[@hiddenleaf414]

I’ve been wearing Xeros for 4 years, got into disc golf 2 years ago but their treads on my Terraflex 2 and Mesa Trail wear down wayyyyy too quickly.

[@thejesusandmannychain95]

My game has felt completely transformed since I got the Magna FGs. Feet feel so much more intuitive with the ground feel and has been helpful in getting my timing more dialed in with regards to the lower body. They’re the model I’d recommend to anyone cause they’re so versatile

[@michaelroush2433]

Vivo are the absolute best!! 😍😍 I decided to snagged some Merrell trail glove 7s for this year, just to save a little bit of cash... Truth be told, they feel almost identical!

[@natebell4764]

I have trail glove 6 and the tread started to peal after a month or two.

[@phatmasterc]

I love the Trail Glove! On my second pair. They are wonderful and half the price of Vivo

[@robertsoliz6821]

I've been waiting for this video for years! Since I saw Eagle first wearing them and then Eric Oakley posted a video about vivos too. I've seen more and more pros wearing them on tour. Vivo needs to sponsor you!! You're gonna get them a lot of sales 😎

[@mpbx3003]

Been wearing the Magna FG for over two years now. I was always turning my ankles in regular shoes because of that feeling you mentioned of the sole being too far away from the body. Since I switched, I'm able to feel uneven ground and roots better and adjust my weight to protect my ankles. The grip and water resistance are great, but the increased ground feel has saved me easily dozens of rounds I'd have lost to injury. Not a super big believer in the alleged benefits or anything, but I've always preferred a more minimal shoe, so they were an easy transition for me.

[@Andrewcochran_dg]

Loved the Magna FG so far! thanks for the suggestion.

[@joshuaferguson4322]

love this shoe!

[@mr.twoputt9241]

I've been wearing Vivo for about a year and I love them, wish I had tried them sooner. I the prior 2 years I was wearing Salomon Sense Ride and they are great for a traditional shoe... But now, wearing "normal" shoes is weird haha. I have 4 pairs of Vivo Barefoot and just got the Magna Forest ESC a few weeks ago for the winters in MN and they are so perfect. But barefoot shoes aren't for everyone, your body will let you know soon after trying them if they aren't lol. Zero drop and wide toe box are the main reasons I switched and then fell in love with the ground feel. Glad more and more disc golfers are wearing these!

[@stefanelf7794]

I love barefoot shoes and wear them for pretty much every occasion. The big difference is you need to learn to walk on the ball of the foot rather than striking the heel. But I wholeheartedly agree, my disc golf has improved since I started wearing Vivo’s. I’ll never go back to “normal” shoes.

[@julianseyal]

I just purchased magna fg in leather. On sale for $165 right now. I also got a pair of primus lite III for daily wear and exercise

[@tipotheberg3401]

I’ve been wearing vivos for the past few years and of all the ones I’ve tried, the Tracker Decon lows and high FG2s are my favorite. The only time I’ve ever had a grip problem was on slightly wet and sandy tee pads. They’re comfortable, with the “cleat-like” bottoms I can feel more than any shoe I’ve owned. Even the Lows are really water resistant. I cant wear any other shoes now, more so I want to. I still want to try the trail knit FGs as they had the same bottoms as the Primus trail all weathers which I also really liked.

[@xsolar]

Vivos are the best for sure! Love my Magna FGs. I've had 2 pairs of Tracker Deacon FG2s in the past and both have had a razor sharp bit of stitching in the heel area that just slices my heel open after like 20 minutes of throwing

[@ven0m_1]

I have been wearing the forest tracker esc for a little over a year now, best shoe I've ever bought they feel and look great. I live in the pnw and play in alot of rain and my feet have never gotten wet after buying these shoes.

[@kingofthenorthcarolina7107]

I drag my toe really bad on forehands so I’m afraid to try these but it might help me break the habit

[@luuhax]

I have the tracker decons that have the thermal insole, and with wool socks they work great even in winter as a daily driver down to probably -15 C

[@Chrismikey1989]

Saw your gunna be at Seth Burton this year ! I’m a local who plays a good bit and playing open in it as well ! Let me know if you need anything man ! Glad to see you making it !!

[@TabulaRasa101]

In my opinion, the best "discgolf" shoes are the Nike SB Nyjah Free or Zoom skate shoes by Nyjah Huston. I can say from experience that after 2 years they have not ripped anywhere. I have been playing for 4 years and in the 2 years before that I destroyed 3 pairs (played a lot). Try it out, the shoes are very well designed.

[@pK-lm3hd]

Ive been wearing these for 4 months here in Vegas. They are awesome

[@epekki_dg]

My last season shoes were merrell trail glove 7 and I feel like those work great. Only problem was that they wore out too much, but I guess it is with every shoe.

[@carter50211]

You’re honestly not going to find a shoe that wont fall apart in a year of playing disc golf. Dragging your soles on concrete is not good for any material of shoe 😭 Some are certainly better than others for sure

[@stevew8042]

I got so excited when he put up a croc, that's what I play in lol

[@palletwizard]

VANS Ultrarange EXO MTE are the only shoes I use now. Have the plain EXO not too impressed. Used the CAB 3 for awhile but the MTE is the ticket for our wet Washington weather.

[@aubreyjones2076]

Its all about the Vivos. They are the best thing that ever happened to me.

[@Obdewla]

I've been wearing a Xero Terraflex on the course & you're right, it does talk some getting used to the barefoot lifestyle. I also wear a trail running shoe called the Boco AT made by Newton. It's not quite a zero drop shoe but close & I like the grip it gives me on the course. May have to give the Vivo's a try.

[@qedyt]

Such great and well-edited content every time. Casey channel rocks! And definitely, Vivos are the best. For wet and mud (UK winter) though I use Meindl Bhutans. They are the only shoe (other than rubber boots or wellingtons made of rubber) that actually keep my feet dry in wet grass (which is the worst). All other supposedly 'waterproof' Gore-tex boots leak. Not Meindl. They are expensive (retail about 300USD) but my first pair lasted 20 years after which I handed them over to my son. That comes down at 13USD per year, which is not too bad.

[@finklesteenDK420]

I used to wear adidas as well now rocking Columbia.

[@jtdiscgolf2520]

Thanks for the socks on 18 in Brooksville.

[@davidwhite6493]

Awesome reviews, I tried them for hiking, they said 2-4 months to get used to, not for me .😮

[@sblivinintxs6297]

Great content Casey. I’ll have to check out that shoe line and see if I can find something I like. Good luck tomorrow. Grip it, rip it, and make some noise! See you in Waco. Simon

[@Zipoqs]

Making me want to try these! Thanks for sharing

[@bearislandjosh5279]

I have been wearing barefoot shoes for like a year now and I can hardly stand to wear regular shoes now. If it's wet for a round I still wear my waterproof Oboz hiking shoes, which are amazing, but I feel so weird in them anymore.

[@TheWigginsful]

Can we get a van tour??

[@zachwilson7061]

I've been meaning to try the merell trail glove 7 they look like they'd be good

[@hotmustardseed]

How do they LAST? I’ve been through several Lem’s and Vibram, and ended up buying multiple pairs of $10 temu barefoot shoes and throw them away when they tear. I can’t spend $160 every season.

[@XTaronyuX]

NEW CHALLENGE!!!! video of playing a round with crocs!!!

[@edhager]

I have two pairs of Vivobarefoot shoes Tracker Decon FG2 - LOVE the fit of these shoes. Very disappointed that I have a hole wore all the way through on one toe. If Vivobarefoot supported repairs in the US, I would have them fixed. Magna Lite SG - great fitting but the tread is a bit too aggressive. When I walk on hard, smooth surfaces, I can feel the lugs.

[@robertsoliz6821]

Question for you, do the magna lite wr sg have good grip on concrete pads especially when wet?

[@edhager]

@@robertsoliz6821 I don't really wear the Magna lite when it is wet because we have a lot of grass here and my feet would be soaked.

[@robertsoliz6821]

@@edhager oh sorry I thought you had the water resistant version

[@nohasslediscgolf]

Crocs!!

[@Ihminen]

Vivos are really the best. Still amazed why so few people use barefoot shoes in general.

[@PRGG24]

How have vivo soles held up to cement tee pads?

[@noahcollins608]

I literally just got the Magna Lites in. So excited to play my first tournament with them Saturday

[@The1jonnyz]

Anyone know where I can get 2x wide waterproof disc golfing shoes? I wear Skechers GoRun which are really comfortable, but not warm or waterproof for golfing here in sloppy PA weather

[@taylorsnyder7974]

What’s been the best overall…magna forest esc or the tracker decon high tops?

[@caseywhite4]

Magna Forest!

[@aidansanabria4101]

I have a pair of Tracker Decons and Hydras! Definitely the best shoe for disc golf I’ve tried. Have you tried the Hydra Casey?

[@caseywhite4]

No I haven’t, but I know Eagle loves them

[@menbah]

I've used other minimalist shoes and love them. But they don't seem to have half sizes of Vivos in Sweden so I can't find any that fit me. =(

[@caseywhite4]

I’d recommend trying a size up 👍🏼

[@soxlife6782]

is that a taylor swift disc back there i see?

[@deepsender]

I wear out the insole of all my disc golf shoes in one month. The outside and tread are like new. Do barefoot shoes have an insole, and are they replaceable?

[@herbstomp003]

vans, hands down.

[@thegrizzly52]

I’ve got a question. I’ve been playing for less than a year but I come from a sports background and played collegiate sports as well. Most sports I’ve played from football, to baseball to rugby to skiing and weightlifting all want cleats, shoes or boots that have a solid base and minimal give to maximize the power transfer. Im surprised disc golf doesn’t do the same thing. My question after all that is why doesn’t disc golf do the same thing? Seems like these shoes are relatively softer and more flexible

[@electrafone]

Hard cleats on concrete teepads would be dangerous. In disc golf, you need good grip but you also need to be able to roll and pivot your feet. The Vivo soles have good grip on all kinds of surfaces and terrain, but not too grippy so you can still pivot and roll comfortably. The rounded shape of the heel and sides really help with that. I feel I can execute my throwing form (such as it is) a lot better with Vivos on.

[@thegrizzly52]

@@electrafone definitely hard cleats would be bad on a tee pad. But interesting that there isn’t a more solid sole for a more consistent power transfer like weightlifting shoes.

[@ViJt-oq5nq]

How do the heels hold up on concrete pads? I've tried cheaper minimalist shoes and that rotation of the heel on the t pad is just brutal on the sole.. ripped a hole in a few.

[@caseywhite4]

I play a lot of disc golf, but I use a lot of different pairs, so mine can last up to a year or two, but my favorite ones I wear all the time I usually get 6 months to a year.

[@natebell4764]

I have been wondering about your shoes for a while. Can you spell the brand name of those shoes, please. I keep hearing you say Devo like the band. Nm. There were no comments when I started this comment, now thier are.

[@joshuaferguson4322]

Vivobarefoot

[@BigBig5]

I love my Magna FG so much. Also, I like to wear toe socks with mine.

[@sarabutler131]

As a kickboxer I am used to pivoting on the ball of my foot. In your backhand throws showing off the shoes it is very obvious you are pivoting on your heel and seem off balanced… what’s the correct answer?

[@caseywhite4]

Heel pivot is crucial so you don’t twist your knee

[@mizzougrad001]

[@putkipihvi324]

Hey Casey, are the Michelin soles or the ball golf style soles more durable especially on the heel for disc golf all around? I tend to wear the heel area rather quickly.

[@caseywhite4]

Definitely the Michelin

[@putkipihvi324]

@@caseywhite4 Cool thanks for the info!

[@s3l1m35]

but honestly, i love playing in crocs......

[@JewsyJew]

Do they tend to run a little big, small, or exact to size? Ive been so reluctant to try Vivos because on the website i doesnt look like they really make them in 1/2 sizes.

[@caseywhite4]

I wear a size up, typically a 10/10.5 and I wear size 11 in vivos very comfortably

[@mawage666]

Terex and Syncracy's both great when new, but absolute garbage quality. They fall apart after only a few months. For wet grass or wet conditions I have a pair of Keens that are great in all categories and very durable. Still looking for a dry condition breathable shoe that is of good quality and durability. You got me curious about these for sure. But I'm never ordering shoes online ever again. Must be able to try them on first.

[@ChristopherLoverich]

Terrex were real good, but not at all comfortable on my foot. I swapped for some Syncracy's which fit, look, feel perfect. But the grip is definitely not good compared to the Vivo's, particularly on slightly wet smoother surfaces / teepads. Its actually the only shoe I've ever consistently worried about / had slips in. I'm really hesitant to wear them now -- and watching Goose slip in his pair the other day (same day I sliipped, so it was on my mind), I was like ok its not just me lol. If they change the sole to be more like Vivo's (not thing, just similar tread / rubber), I'd be all over them. I really want to like them. But yeah, my vivo's are better overall. Just beware they are so thin, its REALLY different feeling. I'd personally like them a little thicker sole, but still my overall preferred shoe. And much more durable than my Syncracy's.
