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

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

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 575 - 2026-04-29 Well, shit. (Not golf related.) Did some "expert witness" stuff today, and talked with some developers about a UI/UX thing for two hours. At various times throughout the day I grabbed the putter in my office and did some downswing work.

      the rules have changed, but this would fall under 11.2 in the current rules.  General Penalty to any player who deliberately deflects a ball in motion, and you must replay the putt.

      Day 250 4-29 Getting chest through with speed on downswing and wrist arch. Also worked on some moving the pelvis slightly away in the backswing. Feel like im going too fast and long, looks like it on the recordings too.

      Dave's Journey With the Rules of Golf

      Interesting that it's no penalty, but then again, I can't imagine someone would purposefully put their foot out there in this situation or one like it.  And then there was the time someone purposefully deflected his own ball during a major, but that's very different too. The only time I can recall a ball I hit hitting another player or their equipment was ages ago -- over a decade and a half ago.  I had a 3' putt for an 89 and someone (a random pairing, not someone I knew) decided it was a good time for goaltending practice.  That wouldn't fall under this rule, though (and it wasn't in a tournament anyway). Thanks for continuing to share these, Dave!  I always find these interesting.

      Day 51 (29 Apr 26) - Worked with a few of the golf team kids plus my grandson (he’s too young for the team as it’s middle-high school age and he’ll be 10 Sat).  He put on a small hitting clinic (hitting off the same tees as the rest of the boys) - one of the older kids called him a “coach”.  Worked in a few shots for myself - had the light bag: driver, 7w, 4 - 6 - 8 - Pw - Sw (DCI 962’s except the Sw a 981) and Zebra putter….got in some great tee shots, a couple of recovery and an awesome up and down for bogie: 55 yds out, hitting 4th shot due to 2nd getting tangled in limbs - see the window I need to hit for a tight spinner with the Sw - nail it to a postage letter distance from the cup for a tap in bogie….my kind of practice.
