Entry I · The Bench

1857

The bench

Burt & Packard set up a shoemaking bench in Brockton, Massachusetts. Every FootJoy since traces to that room: leather, last, and patience.

1980

StaSof

The StaSof glove arrives. Tacky cabretta leather, cut close to the hand. It quietly becomes the most played glove in professional golf.

Today

The tour standard

The number one shoe and the number one glove in golf. Not by slogan; by count, week after week, on every major tour.

Entry IV · The Last Room

A shoe is only as honest as its last.

FootJoy offers the most width options in golf, N through XW, and says nearly 40 percent of people should be wearing a narrower or wider shoe than they think. The most common mistake: going up a size when a shoe feels tight instead of trying a wider width.

The fitter’s notes · by line

Pro SL / Pro SLX Carbon

Runs big. Many size down a half or more.

Ordered a pair of Pro SL Carbon Boas, size 12 from Amazon. Absolutely swimming in them and thought it was the Boa mechanism.
r/golf

HyperFlex Carbon

Half size down for many feet.

I’m a half size smaller in the Hyperflex carbon as well.

Premiere Series

Generous against sneaker sizing.

I wear a 12 or 12.5 in Nike depending on the shoe, but 12 in footjoy was way too big. Went with an 11.5. For the footjoy premiere and they’re by far the most comfortable golf shoes I’ve ever worn.

Traditions

Often a size down from sneaker sizing.

I wear an 11.5 Traditions Blucher but 12.5 in Nike Roshe golf shoes.

And the glove, by the inch.

Two measurements decide a FootJoy glove: the length of your middle finger, and the circumference of your lead hand around the first knuckles, thumb excluded. FootJoy reckons upwards of half of golfers wear the wrong glove size, most of them too big.

  1. I.Print FootJoy’s letter-size measuring gauge with its finger guide and cut-out ruler.
  2. II. If your finger-length number is less than your palm-width number, try a Cadet glove: wider palm, shorter fingers.
  3. III. Between sizes, try the smaller first. A correct closure tab reaches only about 75 percent of the way across the back of the hand.

Enter the measurement and the row lights up.

The custom bench · MyJoys

Wide foot here. The footjoy hyperflex is hands down the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn.

Footjoy Premiere series are amazingly comfortable.

I wear wide shoes and Footjoy is one of few brands that offer wide across their line. I don’t have a problem with the wide fit.
