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.

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

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.

In my bag:
Driver - 905T, 9.5* UST V2 75 s
Fairway - X Tour 15*, Fuji TP 26.3 x
Hybrid - Rescue Dual TP, 16* Diamana Rayon x
Irons - 4-pw X-18 PS Rifle 6.5Wedges - MpT BNi, 51.08, 56.13, 60.10Putter(s) - Puku BellyBall - Bridgestone Tour B330-S

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

    • The criticisms are starting already 🤣 U.S. Open pro criticizes Shinnecock green conditions: 'Bumpy' After playing his first practice round at the 2026 U.S. Open, Michael Kim offered a less-than-glowing review of Shinnecock's "bumpy" greens.   The sand, I don't care about that. If the greens didn't come back as well for latest aerification, that would be a bit of a blunder on Shinnecock I think.   
    • Well, if your frame of reference spins twice during the swing, then Bryson's ab/adduction is more like 780 degrees so there! (Yes I'm being silly, but not sure it's any sillier than what your pal Andy is doing...)
    • Update: Brandon Sorsby has decided to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. He will not play for Texas Tech in the upcoming season.  From my perspective, I think he did the right thing. I hope he gets the correct help for his gambling addiction. I say the right thing, because I would be worried that the stress from all of this now and throughout the entire year would not be beneficial towards his mental health.  If an NFL team picks him up, then there really isn't any pressure for him to play immediately. He can work on himself and his game for the NFL.  From Texas Tech,  "Texas Tech will continue to provide the support and recovery resources Brendan requires on this journey. Furthermore, Texas Tech will not seek return of any amounts already paid to Brendan through his NIL agreements with the University," Campbell wrote. "We wish our best to Brendan, and we offer our prayers to him and his family as he chases his dreams at the next level. This has been an unbelievably painful experience for us all, but I know that his true, underlying character and lessons learned through this experience will ultimately bring him great success on the field of play and in life." Which, I also the right thing to do.   
    • So, something I noticed yesterday at the range. My eyes and visualization of what the ball needs to do is way off. I put up an alignment stick about 10 yards down range. My initial thought was, "Oh crap". Even while wearing prescription sunglasses, and I know I am hitting it towards the sun, I couldn't pick up where the ball was at all. 
    • Oh man. As you can see above, Manavian mocked me for not realizing they were getting the 130° from BOTH shoulders. Apparently, though, Manavian is also wrong, as Andy said I was lying when I cited what Manavian had written: The next thing Andy says that's both accurate and clearly stated will be the first. I replied to that post with something like: Tell Manavian who said "only counting the abduction/adduction of one shoulder rather than 2." One of the issues with “bad” information is that y’all can’t even get on the same page. You've not shown that Bryson has 130° range of motion in either shoulder separately P1 to P7. I’ve shown the numbers. You’ve name-called and just said “nuh uh” repeatedly. Did you see the AMG IG video? Of course you have. Wrapping your head around the distance the shoulder travels yet, Andy? Andy later commented to explain how he got his range of motion number (apologies to whoever @iacac and @icaca are on Instagram, who are going to be wondering just what in the hell they've gotten themselves into). Oh boy. Adding the numbers in one direction and then adding them again going back is not a "range" of motion. If I can bend my knees 140°, I don't claim to have 280° range of motion because I have two knees nor because I can also extend my knees 140° after bending them. Bryson (with a driver, again — I used his iron swing) abducts about 65° (and bends his elbow a ton) with the driver. Then he adducts 50… and then another 15°… to end up right back where he started. This is exactly the equivalent of saying that I bend my knees 140° and then straighten them, creating a range of 280°. It's so silly I don't even have much of a response. It falls down completely on its own. It doesn't need even a nudge.
