Well in todays video we check out this brand new release from G/FORE, we check out all the technology in the shoe, we look at the history of the spiked design with G/FORE and try to work out what the performance will be like in the shoe. This is G/FORE’s first leap into the spiked shoe market and I’m hear for it, but why? The Tour and the International markets have been crying out for a G/FORE shoe with enhanced grip, well, now we have it. I’m looking forward to getting these out on the course and giving them a good test, the full review will come to the channel very soon!

How you doing, guys? Well. Well, back today with a brand new video. And we’ve got a pretty cool pair of shoes to check out. They are the G BLOCK Galavant from G4. Okay, guys, So they are here in this box. Now, one thing that you can always say about G4 is
Just they just nail packaging. They just do packaging so well. And these shoes are no different from the, the little magnetic or low snap. You get there on the box, the branding on the box just looks class. I know you don’t wear the box,
But the unboxing experience I think is is still something that I certainly enjoy. So they always nail it. G4 So props to them for that. So let’s get these opened. Let’s have a little look again. okay. 00:00:50:11 – 00:00:54:07 Unknown
That’s a good looking shoe. That is a good looking shoes. Give the other one out. 00:00:54:07 – 00:00:57:14 Unknown Okay. So with these guys, this is the snow colorway. 00:00:57:14 – 00:01:19:02 Unknown You do get an additional set of laces in a dark gray kind of charcoal. Really nice kind of match.
The the outer sort of ring there on the midsole. So so that’s very, very nice indeed. But but yeah, let’s get on to that one down and let’s take a look at these further. So guys, this is a 00:01:19:02 – 00:01:31:17 Unknown
G-force first dabble into the world of spiked golf shoe. So all of the gallivanting is all of the previous models, the MKG four, class, MKG four, everything always been spotless. 00:01:31:17 – 00:01:39:00 Unknown Now with these spiked model. And so we’re going to go on to the reason why in just a second.
00:01:39:00 – 00:01:47:06 Unknown let’s start with the outside of the shoe and then we’ll we’ll sort of head into the shoe as we go through the sort of first look first impression video. 00:01:47:06 – 00:02:19:18 Unknown So full grain, premium leather upper. This is, I mean one thing with G4 materials are
Always class and this is unlike any other if you’ve experienced that product before, you know what I mean? This really nice, grainy waterproof as well, grainy leather. So, so nice. And then you move down to a compression molded Eva Midsole just
Going to provide you with a little bit of comfort, comfort wise on these guys. 00:02:19:18 – 00:02:46:01 Unknown Don’t be expecting these to be like a boost. Midsole They’re not. They’re going to be very firm, but they’re going to be comfortable but just not squishy in any way,
If that makes sense. You kind of have a trade off right when you go for a pair of shoes that looks like this and premier series again is also one Midfoot cushioning is just not something that you’re going to get loads of compared to like an ultraboost golf shoe from Adidas, for example.
00:02:46:01 – 00:02:47:23 Unknown So you kind of have to pay the price. 00:02:48:01 – 00:02:56:08 Unknown what you get when it comes to stability in these versus the sort of the squishy a bustier Midsole shoe’s far superior. 00:02:56:08 – 00:03:02:16 Unknown we then move
Our way to the bottom of the shoe. Now this is the reason why we’re all here, right? So 00:03:02:16 – 00:03:10:17 Unknown what G4 have done, which for me is kind of a bit odd with these, is they’re announcing the company that make the spikes. 00:03:10:17 – 00:03:15:20 Unknown
So the spikes here are the taut flex profile from soft spike. 00:03:15:20 – 00:03:29:19 Unknown You never really hear of brands doing this when it comes to their spikes, like you’d never hear from foot Joy who make their spikes or other brands. I just I don’t
Know. I mean, if they do that and I’ve missed it, then someone please comment down below. 00:03:29:21 – 00:03:39:01 Unknown But yeah, for me it’s just a bit odd. The G4 have decided to announce who who do the spikes. The spikes are removable, 00:03:39:01 – 00:03:51:12 Unknown
Which is, which is quite nice. So if you have a brand of soft spike that you like more than others and you find provides you more grip than others, then you know, by all means, take these out, swap them over and and crack on. 00:03:51:12 – 00:03:53:08 Unknown
You’ll be, you’ll be very, very happy. 00:03:53:08 – 00:04:12:12 Unknown Now, why have G4 decided to put some spikes on this shoe tool is one reason so guys on tool needing a little bit more grip a little bit more stability when they’re out there playing
And in the UK and EU sort of international markets have played a role in this as well. 00:04:12:13 – 00:04:36:11 Unknown Like when G4 first brought out the Gallivant, all of the spikes on the bottom, the soft spikes, the spike clips, I should never spotless all those spotless little pimples on there were
Already close together. They clogged up quite a bit and didn’t really provide you, in my opinion, with all that greater grip. They then did more iterations of the shoe where they cut out. 00:04:36:11 – 00:04:48:23 Unknown Some of them got rid of them, and then that alleviated the the issue
To a degree. You didn’t really get as clogged up when you when you wore them as you did with sort of the first versions that came into this country. 00:04:48:23 – 00:04:58:16 Unknown But the grip has never been fantastic on the shoe in,
In my opinion. I’ve had a few versions of it and just the grips never been spectacular. 00:04:58:22 – 00:05:21:00 Unknown And so obviously this is a reason why we now have a spikes model of the shoe,
Which for me I welcome. I’m still one of these golfers. I still just love to have these soft spikes on the bottom of the shoes. I’m not if you could give me a shoe that had soft spikes versus spikes, then I would always pick the version of that shoe that had the spikes.
00:05:21:00 – 00:05:29:05 Unknown So for me, just a little bit more, I guess, confidence in the fact that, you know, I’m going to have that little bit more grip when there are spikes on the bottom. 00:05:29:05 – 00:05:45:15 Unknown
What guys, is also interesting about this, we have ten spikes on the bottom. For me, that’s quite a lot of spikes and I maybe would have liked to have seen maybe eight or nine, maybe one sort of around this area here, bring these down slightly. 00:05:45:15 – 00:06:02:18 Unknown
I’m just thinking that’s quite that’s those four spikes at the top. That’s quite a lot there in a small space. But, you know, time will tell when I get out and wear these. We’ll see if they do clog up with the fact that there’s a lot of
Action in that one spot or hopefully, I mean, they’ll deal with it really well. 00:06:02:18 – 00:06:06:03 Unknown I won’t notice anything and I’ll regret saying that. 00:06:06:03 – 00:06:09:18 Unknown Okay, guys. So moving our way to the inside of the shoe 00:06:09:18 – 00:06:19:12 Unknown
It’s their anti-microbial mesh liner that they have on the inside of the shoe. This shoe features the athletic version of that. 00:06:19:12 – 00:06:29:03 Unknown I would love someone to tell me what the difference between an athletic anti microbial mesh liner versus the non athletic version is. 00:06:29:03 – 00:06:37:19 Unknown
And the reason why there’s a difference that’ll be very interesting to hear. But basically what it does is it prevents odor, prevents the shoe from smelling. 00:06:37:19 – 00:06:43:07 Unknown you do in the heel section have a dual density molded heel cup in there. 00:06:43:09 – 00:07:05:05 Unknown
You can really feel it on the outside here. Loads of support for your heel. Absolutely love that when you do try these on you do feel very much in the shoe which I absolutely love. Very,
Very nice. I looked around in them, I mean a teeny bit, but when you do first put them on, you do really feel that locked in feel which I very much love. 00:07:05:05 – 00:07:05:21 Unknown And then 00:07:05:21 – 00:07:16:06 Unknown
Goes on to another of my favorite actually another of my favorite technologies that the G4 have If I remove the in a little shoe tree there and show you, 00:07:16:06 – 00:07:18:07 Unknown you do have the famous 00:07:18:07 – 00:07:33:20 Unknown
Lumpy insole in there which is going to massage your foot underneath it. It’s a quite a nice feeling, I’ll be honest, and it’s something that one of those ones, some people might roll their eyes at this sort of technology, but I do really think it makes a difference and it’s very nice.
00:07:33:20 – 00:07:39:02 Unknown Underneath your feet makes makes for a very comfortable ride when you’re out there on the golf course. 00:07:39:02 – 00:07:55:00 Unknown Okay, guys, now sizing on these. So for me, I take a size ten inch G4, I take a
Size nine and a half in Nike, I take a size ten in Adidas, I take a size nine in foot. Joy. So 00:07:55:00 – 00:08:01:17 Unknown just be aware of sizing when, when you’re looking at purchasing these, just try and make sure that you get the right one. 00:08:01:19 – 00:08:16:21 Unknown
I would always sort of recommend maybe sizing up half the size from the size that you think. So Yeah, that’s a that’s a little bit of sizing advice there for you guys. So so yeah, always if you can go somewhere, try them on before you buy them. 00:08:16:21 – 00:08:24:03 Unknown
Okay. So you do have three colorways of these four colorways. I’m going to go onto that fourth one in a second. 00:08:24:05 – 00:08:29:21 Unknown You have this snow colorway. You do have a Twilight camo colorway and then you have an 00:08:29:21 – 00:08:48:02 Unknown
Onyx colorway. And then Onyx is basically another word for black. And then you have the luxe version of this shoe. Now that sort of brings me on to pricing. The luxe version of the shoe is £275. I think for that you might get a slightly more premium leather upper. 00:08:48:02 – 00:09:23:01 Unknown
It looks like a wooden midsole It’s a really kind of classic looking pair of shoes for me, not for the average consumer. And these shoes, these ones here and the the Twilight camo as well
As the Onyx, they are 195 on G fours website. That’s for me, a lot of money. And that’s you know, when you’re looking at the shoes that this is competing against, you’re pricing yourself sort of £20 over what’s what those other shoes are so interesting price point. 00:09:23:03 – 00:09:38:00 Unknown
I personally would have liked to have seen these at the 169179 mark. I think that would have been maybe more appropriate. Maybe we might see that in time. They might come down a little bit. But but yeah, 195 on these shoes here 00:09:38:00 – 00:09:56:22 Unknown
So guys, that is the G for G lock gallivant shoes. What? What do you think of these? I’ll be interested to hear what you think pricing wise. Do you think it’s a good thing that they added the spikes? Did you like the shoe
As it was before without the spikes? Have you experience any grip issues with them at all? 00:09:57:00 – 00:10:15:15 Unknown Do let me know down in the comments section below. Huge. Thank you to 2g4 for sending these over. I will bring a full review to the channel as soon as
I’ve got these out on the golf course. Unfortunately, in the UK at the moment it’s not really white shoe weather, but. But guys, as soon as I get out, 00:10:15:15 – 00:10:16:22 Unknown I’ll bring you that review. 00:10:16:22 – 00:10:20:15 Unknown

Was pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the Gallivanter spikeless last year, I appreciated the additional padding around the heel and ankle compared to the premiere series.
Keep an eye out for the big summer and winter sales each year, I grabbed my Gallivanters for around £80 last year 👍
Defo getting a pair of these over a set of premieres I think depending on the fit sizing etc
Really like them. Pricey, but look cool
Glad they have added these to the line. I had a pair of gallavanters but a few of the little spikes broke after a couple of rounds. Replaceable spikes are the way to go. Very comfortable shoes. Took my usual size in these and fit fine. I am a full size smaller in footjoy compared to any other shoes I wear
