I bought a pair of FJ BOA's about 6 weeks ago. Out of the box they do feel great, BUT, mine squeak to no end when I walk. I have played about 10 rounds in them now. One of my golf buddies made me stop walking on the green while he was putting. The squeak is not good!. It comes from the tongue of the shoe rubbing against the leather inside the shoe. I tried some leather lotion today from an Internet tip on squeaky shoes. It has improved, but I am not sold that the squeak will go away. I do not want to dump these shoes, because they are awesome in fit and convenience, but I may end up playing golf alone because my buddies are real tired of the squeaking!

Anyone got any ideas or have similar problems? Thanks

I have sworn by Footjoy shoes for years, but the reelfit is the best shoe ever in my opinion. I just hope that Footjoy doesn't decide to quit offering the reelfit. When my current reelfits need replacing, I want to replace them with another pair of reelfits. When you think about it, that is the ultimate praise that you can give a product.

[...] have seen the rise of adjustable shoes, with the FootJoy BOA lacing system, and we have seen adjustable clubs with the TaylorMade R9, Callaway i-Mix, and [...]

I bought my first pair of reelfits 3 years ago (just after they first came out). By far the most comfortable out of the box golf shoe I have ever owned. Although, I did have to return them when the cable system jammed and would not release. This was after I played about 4 to 5 rounds.

Footjoy fixed (did not send a new pair). I was skeptical at first, but am happy to say that the shoes are still in use (100+ rounds). More than half the rounds were walking. I can honestly say the shoes still have several rounds left in them.

When I saw footjoy was tagging these as closeouts, I decided to buy another pair (this time in white). I will keep my black pair as emergency just in case the cable system freezes again. But, I am not antiicipating any problems.

I recently retired from my job and recieved a nice gift card for the local golf shop from my fellow employees. I picked up a pair of Reelfits and I like them so much that I bought another pair, different color from TGW for 89.99 closeout. What a deal. The best shoe I have worn. I have a nice pair of dressy Eccos but they are a tad tight on me so I dont like to wear them every day. The Reelfits fit me perfectly right outta the box.

Bought the Reelfit yesterday $129 Can. All white light grey knob.
Was initially concerned with the lacing system - took them out for the first time today and shot 1 under par and I play to a 6 hcp.
UN-Believable shoe. Like slippers with performance stability in mind - and - I do NOT work for Footjoy.
Buy them - they'll be the last golf shoes you buy.

I played ONE round with my Nike golf shoes after a day of rain on wet grass. That was enough to get me to pony up the money for a pair of FootJoys with their 2-year waterproof warranty. Hey, I play golf in Washington state - I need waterproofness. My feet were very unhappy and my Nikes were essentially ruined - I could no longer keep my golf shoes in my car due to the stink of the mildewed leather.

As soon as I saw the BOA system on a pair of shoes (I am familiar with the system from snowboard boots) and saw them on sale for $99 online, I placed an order without even trying them on. I have worn them once and so far they are great. They don't quite have the sneaker feel of my Nikes but they look much classier and are SO much easier to adjust on the fly - I was so tired of adjusting the standard lacing to keep them tight enough. One twist and you're set - one pull and they slide off like butter. Perfect for me!

@ Carole B. I feel for you. I hate the kiddie crap brands thrown at us. Golfsmith is probably the worst offender. I have just as much money as the boys and I enjoy quality and new technologies. Why do I only have Snakeyes and one type of Footjoy golf glove product that I can buy from them at the store. I've had to resort to the internet basically for some variety. That said, I just bought a pair of the Reelfit for women. I love them. They are so comfortable. And I was able to buy them at a local shop in NYC.

How about some selection for the ladies--please--not just Footjoy--but every manufactuer--anything wrong with just a nice pair of black shoes for women--they match everything--and I hate white--and all those pink-purple and whatever other girlie colors out there-- I'm a golfer--not a kid.
And another thing--went to Golfsmith and PGA Golf store--(Phoenix area)either no selection--Golfsmith--or sizes start at 7-10 ?? at PGA golf store--there are some regular and small size women out there.
Just frustrated finding and trying on shoes at this point.

I have just ordered a pair of FJ Reelfit size UK10, however have ordered the new all white shoe (With a silver, instead of blue heel insert! )

I bought a pair of size UK10 Stuburt Helium Pro on the internet (As a Brit living in Cyprus, ALL golf gear is limited AND very expensive!) and they are ridiculously rubbish! They are labelled as a UK10 however are actually the equivalent of a UK size 12!!!!!!!

I have heel blisters to prove it.

Having read so much, and having spoken to my excellent golf supplier in the UK (Gregnicholsongolf.co.uk) these Reelfits come highly recommended so it is now 1 week and counting!
