Two readers get fitted for FootJoy shoes and then test them out on their home courses
We know from decades of testing the latest and greatest golf shoes that the impact of a comfortable and well-designed pair should never be underestimated.
From using the ground during our swing to maximise power to the miles of walking we do between shots, having something on our feet we can rely on is an absolute must.
In our experience, FootJoy has always been a brand you can trust, and so the launch of its flagship Tour S shoe in 2018 was exciting. FootJoy has crowned the Tour S the most stable shoe it has ever made, but if you pick it up you’ll instantly notice it’s very light and different to FootJoy’s other stable options, such as the DryJoys Tour and Icon. It also offers out-of-the-box comfort, an athletic look and a premium, soft and waterproof leather.
