I bought these about 6 years ago and used them for about 3 rounds. I've wiped them down with a shoe cleaner. There's some dirt in the creases and gaps, but I don't think there are any cracks or scratches. How about it for beginners or those who want to get their equipment together for the first time? I also have NIKE golf rainwear. I'm selling it separately, but if you buy them together, I'll give you a discount.
