Footjoy Classics Tour Golf Shoes

Footjoy Classics Tour Golf Shoes
The Footjoy name is synonymous with quality, durability and exceptional value, which is why they are considered the No. 1 name in golf footwear. Footjoy Classics Tour golf shoes live up to their heritage of being wonderful equipment for your feet.

Construction

In the construction of most cheaper brands of golf shoes, the upper sole is connected to the out-sole with glue or a similar substance. The Footjoy Classics Tour is welt constructed, which means the upper sole is stitched to the out-sole. This increases durability and allows for more precise fitting of the shoes.

Weight Reduction

Through the use of Footjoy's Tri-Density TPU out-sole, the overall weight of the shoe has been reduced by 15 percent, allowing for maximum comfort throughout your round. There's nothing worse than feeling like you're wearing cement shoes by the 18th hole.

Flexibility and Cushion

Footjoy's patented Opti-Flex Technology delivers maximum flexibility and the shoe contains an EVA mid-sole that provides additional shock resistance. These shoes are so comfortable, you won't mind playing another round.

The Anchors

You want a firm planting of your feet to the ground, especially if you're blessed with a high-speed swing. The Footjoy Classics Tour golf shoe achieves this through the use of Pulsar cleats by Softspikes. There will be no slippage when you have these high-performance puppies on your dogs.

Looks

In typical Footjoy fashion, the Classics Tour comes in a myriad of styles and colors. The black croc print/black pebble overlay and the black tumbled and mahogany smooth calfskin with split vamp are just two of the available styles. Footjoy once again shows that you don't have to sacrifice aesthetics for functionality.

Cost

Retail pricing for the Footjoy Classics Tour golf shoes is $350, but if you visit an online retailer like golfshoesonly.com, you can find them as low as $260.

Expert Insight

Sixty-five percent of PGA Tour professionals wear Footjoys, and 80 percent of those opt for the Classics.
