FootJoy?

[FoosIason]

I was just wondering if anyone has had the Footjoy Classics Tour golf shoe

I am asking this because I am thinking about buying myself a pair but I have heard that the leather construction does not hold the water out well... but then I have heard that they keep your feet pretty dry...

if anyone could give me their opnion on them... that would be great...

thank you

Most of the high end shoes have a waterproof sock liner, they will lose some of their waterproofing over time depending on how often you play. I don't wear Footjoy, for some reason they don't fit my foot right, I don't reccomend online purchase of shoes unless it is a model you already have and are replacing.

Thank you

Ill get them through my pro... see if I can get a PUD if they exist

thank you

I had a pair and I guess they were alright...

but if you want my honest opinion I like the Ecco World Class, I was lucky enough to find a pair (all white) where on the back a small blue line was visible when the manufacturer began the goretex process.. anyways, they are 400 retail, I got mine for 165... look out for a deal

remember these shoes were designed for tour players... who never see a wet fairway or adverse conditions

not made for the average course, unless you are a member at the country club

You mean like this?

I'd say pros play and practice in adverse condtions more in a month than the average amateur does in a year. Because they have to. It's their job. Still, what's the number one shoe on Tour? Footjoys, gotta be something more to it than that since they get all shoes for free. They're not just for country club guys, they're for people who like to dress in comfortable and great looking shoes. I like the classic tours personally, I think they're lighter and the rubber sole tends to look better for longer than the wooden one on the dry premiers!

I had a pair of footjoy classic dry premeirs and they were great for like 6 months...then after only cleaning and polishing them like 2 times in that period they cracked and were pretty much worthless in wet conditions...i also got them froma site that sold blemished golf shoes ( even though nothing was wrong with them) so that knocked the price down about 50 percent. nice shoes, just need a lot of care.

for the money a rubber sole is a real rip off...

classic shoes weather made for on or off the course are not "wood" as they are constructed of compressed leather... the classic dry premiers (all white) are unbelievable... I wear the Ecco World Class GTX (all white)... stay away from rubber soles

[DDBowdoin]

yes, but noticed the fairways arent flooded like at a POS muni... thats simply rain, any golf shoe over 60 bucks can handle rain

I'm wearing Classic Dry Premiers right now but am getting ready to switch to the Adidas Tour 360's. They feel more comfortable out of the box and a touring pro I play with says they are the best shoes he's ever worn. If it turns out they suck I'll post about it. But it seems like they have all they same features as the FJ Classics and then some. As for the new rubber soles on the Classics, I think you probably get a benefit of a lighter shoe and better traction, but I agree that the reduction in quality from the leather soles should get you a reduction in price as well - the new Classics seem very similar to DryJoys with upgraded upper styling.

ps - lol at the Classics having wooden soles.

I've never been able to wear an Adidas pair of shoes. They give me blisters.

I'm wearing FootJoy GF:IIs right now and they're comfortable without a break-in period.

Thank you everyone

I ended up getting the FootJoy GF:IIs

good shoe... but I'm just waiting for them to strech out a little bit... the 13's are a bit tight...but my old Footjoy dry joys in size 15 and 14 streched way too much... im hoping these FootJoy GF:IIs are just the thing for me
