Hi Whip. I have been using a glove for years, but usually find myself practicing without one so I can get better feel, like you state. How stupid of me? So, this year I'm going to try going cold turkey and not use a glove. As for shoes, I have some trail shoes that are like athletic shoes with a sole with a better grip. I wear those at our high school team practices most of the time since they are waterproof and really comfortable.
Didn't wear any glove for 20 years, now I wear two gloves ( 1 left & 1 right) I have thin, dry, callused hands. The improved tactile sense gives a more unified/ welded feeling, I find it easier to moderate grip pressure.
At first I hated it but the cold weather forced my hand, became accustomed and finally prefer gloves year round.
I'm from a place originally that rains 10 months out of the year, too familiar with the winter weather double gloves. never could get used to them, one day it was surprisingly nice but ended up raining on the last hole, with no glove I took swing with the driver and slung the club about fifty feet into the air flying into the adjacent street! Luckily it happened to be at a moment when no cars were driving by, unusual as It is a very busy street normally. The driver was somehow fine with only a small scratch.
Tennis shoes work fine for me - as long as it's not wet. I've also played in skate shoes however kikkor golf shoes are more comfortable than skate shoes and have rubber embedded spikes - very comfortable golf shoe - I highly recommend them. Whatever your tennis shoe size - add a 1/2 size to that. www.kikkor.com
