Has anyone purchased Footjoy's new Sport Spikeless golf shoes, and if so, can you comment on their comfort and traction?

I don't have the Sport, but I do have the Contour Casual, they are by far my favorite shoe of all time.  I'm a huge fan of the spikeless shoe, I have 3 different brands of spikeless, I hope that spikeless isn't a trend, because I have no intention of wearing anything for golfing but spikeless from now on.

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

I like nike's spikeles shoes, very comfortable. To me the footjoys spikeless are a bit to wide for me, and just don't fit well.

I've got the fj sport. Not sure what you mean about the spikeless version...the ones I have use soft spikes and a traction sole. They wear great and have superb traction. If you pay attention to tour golf you'll see that most of the footjoy guys on tour wear the Sports. I have the version without laces; the concept is really

The concept is cool and it provides the best possible fit because you can fine tune tightness and the lace tightness is perfectly distributed over the top of the foot. Only problem is the button on the back that tightens and releases the laces pops open if you knock it on something. Happens once or twice per round and you just have to re-tighten which takes 5 seconds.

I have a pair of them and I love them. Super comfortable and light.   I can walk around casual with them or they have plenty of grip to golf in.

I also have the contour casuals which are great as well.  Now that i think of it I have a ton of FJ shoes.

For sure worth the purchase.

I tried the contour casuals a few times, and ended up going with the Ecco Streets.  Just more comfortable and natural feeling.  The FJ's felt like they had a soft, mushy pillow on top of a rock bed; the pillow wasn't much comfort after a few steps.

The trouble with the Ecco line of spineless shoes is that they don't offer wide widths which I need. They are based in Europe and still have that European mentality that Americans don't have wide feet. If they offered wide widths they could be making even more money, but stupidity reigns.

If you want spikeless and are looking for a "wider" shoe you really need to check out the ones made by TRUE linkswear. Awesome shoes, by far the most comfortable around. The new model (the sensei) is amazing, I've got two pairs of them and at $99, they are a great value. The phx model is also really good and is also $99. If you are looking for a more traditional look, the tour or stealth models might be more of what you are looking for and they run for $150 and $200 respectively. However, on rockbottomgolf.com you can get a really good deal on the tours (I think they are $69). TRUE doesn't make wide widths per say but they are built with a wider toe box to allow the foot to function naturally, and from feedback both on this site and other places, individuals with wide feet have had nothing but good things to say about them.

Tristan, thanks for the info, but tried on some True shoes. Toe box was wide enough, but the shoe did not seem to have enough lateral support for me.

I am thinking of buying the Footjoy Contour Casual (sell them at my local golf club) or Ecco Golf Street.

    • Day 232 4-8 Rotation work tonight. Used just a mirror for the most part. Recorded a few swings just to see where I am.   
    • Day 31 (8 Apr 26) - Worked with a coupe of kids on the school golf team on the range - then joined them for a few holes of practice play.  
    • I’m sure you know his practice schedule 🤣 also, he had a wrist injury recently. 
    • I’m going to go out on a limb and say that maybe if Jason spent less time on his clothes and more on golf he would win more.
    • So, my league starts next week, and I have a golf trip in two weeks. I am thinking no matter what I do, I will have to do my left leg and downswing turning piece. At least this turning piece helps me negate shanking the shot.  I probably shanked the foam ball about 10x in a row yesterday. Given, I was doing downswing work with not much caring about the body rotation. I was struggling to feel the same thing from two days ago. Where I was able to feel the arm piece and the turning piece working together. Yesterday, my body turn was just destroying my arms down piece.  That said, it’s not like I have a great feel for where the club is in space. Especially with how fast the downswing is. If I do the arms downswing piece with the turn piece better. I just feel those two things. Then after I am going into the finish I am like, "Oh, that was center of the clubface". I am glad the clubface found the ball. Maybe that is normal when you are trying to fix your mechanics. You are so hyper focused on the hitting the swing feel that the feel for the club is just gone.  I’ve watched YouTube videos where they talk about how correct lower-body mechanics give you the feeling of having tons of time in the downswing. I’m like, BS! there is no time. If anything, it feels faster now. 🤣 I do notice that the clubface stays more open past impact, less flippy. Not like I am trying to do that. Actually, with the downswing arm piece, I am trying to feel like I am rolling my wrist (closing the club a bit more).
