User Reviews
I used this shoe for the first time in the worst golf conditions. It was super wet and I did not slip once. These shoes have excellent grip and are super comfortable and light. I walked 18 holes and my feet did not hurt after. Great golf shoe for all conditions.
Great feeling shoes look good and are waterproof
These golf shoes are extremely comfortable and very light weight. I bought these for those rainy days and dewy mornings. They are great shoes and I have little to no fatigue after walking 18 holes. The only thing is that they run a little big. I wear size 13 in every brand I buy except for pumas I have to buy a 14, And I bought these fj shoes in 13 and they are a tad big. Either way they are great shoes.
Great shoe for soggy courses. They keep your feet dry, and comfortable, can't go wrong with these shoes!
Perfect fit
Ive played at least three times a week for at least a year! and have exclusively worn a pair of these shoes. The upper material is just starting to show some cracking, so I bought another pair of the exact same shoe. Now when it’s wet and muddy I wear the old ones and wear the new ones when conditions are good.
I wore them for the first time a few days ago. Probably should have sent them back before I did that. They are just not wide enough! They worked ok but were no where near as comfortable as my Sketchers that are the same size. I did have a playing partner comment more than once he liked the look of them. Highly recommend you get your regular size in a wide. I have never worn a wide in any shoes I’ve ever had but think these would have been good if I had of this time. Not sure if I can still return after wearing but hope the seller sees this and contacts me to say I can for a wide.
I walk the course so go through shoes pretty quickly. Footjoy are always reliable and these a a nice light weight but still have a good sole and cushion. Great value for what I was looking for.
