Footjoy Countour size help

[ArrrrJay]

So I broke my FJ DryJoys, and needed a replacement pair of shoes to finish the season.

I had been wearing 10.5 wides, and would always get blisters on the inside of my big toes. I wore a hole through the right foot heel (low in the shoe).

I tried on a few sizes of contours, and the medium width fit me better. 10.5 seemed to have a bit too much room for the toes, so I tried on 10's Fit well, snug, and seemed great at the store.

So... I go to the course and start my round walking 18. At the turn, I had torn a dime sized hole on the outside top of my heel (achilles tendon area, just outside). Deep... I played 2 more holes and had to stop, I had an open sore. I normally don't get the rubbing on the top outside of the heel like this.

I am curious what I should do. I am thinking of returning them for 10.5's, but I don't need any extra room in the toes. would this help, or might the rubbing be from the width?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

It's most likely because they are new shoes and need to be broken in.

I guess I'm just concerned because of how quickly and badly they caused a sore.

I mean, I can understand getting a blister after 18, but these made a blister, tore it open, and started wearing out the sore within 11 holes Should I just play 9 hole rounds until they are broken in, or does it seem extreme enough to exchange for a different size. Like I said, I never had this bad an issue with my 10.5 wides, but they were tough to get tight (too wide), and I would get blisters on my toes...

A little break in might have been in order but from my experience the shoes run wide. I have two pair and I have them in medium width. I have a wide foot but the medium width in these is perfect for me. FWIW these are the best golf shoes I've EVER owned. I can't bring myself to spend the big bucks for $180-$250 shoes. They just can't be worth it compared to these.

countours are the most comfortable golf shoes i have ever wore. just break them in and they will be just fine. i have had 4 pair of contours and loved them.

Get yourself a set of Street Caps and wear them around the house all week -- that's what I do with my new golf shoes to break them in.

you should definitely consider just wearing them around hte house for 1-3 ohurs a day just breaking them in. clean the bottoms and walk around inside in an environment you arn'et putting much stress on them

Some models of FootJoy let you customize your "size." Thus if one foot is longer and narrower, and the other is shorter and wider, you can get a left shoe and right shoe of different sizes.

Any chance that's what you're facing, being you had blisters on just one side?

(Expect to pay a premium price for size mixing.)
