When you think of golf companies, particularly golf shoe companies, the first one that mostly comes to mind is FootJoy. Nearly two-thirds of all professional golfers wear FootJoy shoes each week – with this stable of tour pros to learn from and receive insight from, the company has released their latest golf shoe for the new year, the FootJoy Tour S. The Tour S features the three most coveted qualities in a golf shoe: stability, support and comfort. Through a variety of features of materials, FootJoy designers have tried to improve all three of those traits in the Tour-S (USD $250).
Its outsole is made from a proprietary polymer that’s 20 percent lighter than other polymers and is also designed with nine cleats that significantly increase surface area in the heel and the forefoot for better traction. A moulded component integrated into the shoe’s upper, which FootJoy calls the “PowerStrap,” is designed to harness the foot and offer lateral support. And a dual-density polyurethane midsole is designed to ensure all-day comfort. Lastly, the shoe’s premium leather offers a polished look and waterproof protection.
It’s a great looking shoe and will definitely perform for you. We love FootJoy and have worn the company’s DNA line of shoes for the past few years, but at this price point, we would like to think there are some other options out there that can be just as good and for a lower price point.
