Footjoy Classics

Saw FJ was bringing back the classics.. anyone know the release date on those bad boys.

Where did you see this?

It's not so much that they are bringing back the Classics, they are taking out a new line which is the 1857 line. They shoes do look very similar to the old Classics...the point where they are not similar is the price. I think they were looking at an RRP of $700 plus.

I would love the Classics to come back but not at that price.

Agreed. If FJ was reasonable and came out with a line that was comparable to Classics plus the cost of inflation, I'd be all in. I will never think about buying golf shoes for the suggested 1857 price points.

That's certainly not an 1857 price. :swoon:

I'll stick with my Icon Blacks. Comfortable, stylish, and well made for well under half the price.

I think they are coming back as 1857 and the prices are like 300 percent of what the classics used to sell for. Also they aren't made in USA anymore

Buy classics from eBay then have them resoled and refinished for like $100

Still can't believe how little push FJ have made for the Icon Blacks. Genuinely the best combination of old school style/design and comfort that I have ever had in a golf shoe.

I would love to try the Icon Blacks,but I can't find any place that carries them.

I have never seen them in any store. I ordered all mine from the online golf stores. It’s no risk because Footjoy has a 30 day full return policy if you’re not satisfied. Never had to use it however.

You can get Icon Blacks for a disgusting price on eBay these days. I got the brown and white wingtip pair and I paid about 140 Dollars. Great shoes.

I've been staring down the same pair. The only size left is my size. I wish they would just sell out so I can stop contemplating it.

The 1857 line is a very small offshoot for people with lots of discretionary funds. :-)

They are beautiful shoes, but for me are too heavy for walking everyday.

Every now and then I will wear my Classics Dry Premiere shoes (Footjoy's last full leather sole shoe). However compared to my Icon Blacks the Blacks are more comfortable. I think is because of the hard steel screw-in spikes of the Premieres vs the plastic Fast Twist spikes system of the Icon Blacks which are softer on the feet. Both shoes are very stabile to walk and play in. However take one close look as the Premieres vs the Icon Blacks and you can see the quality of the Premieres. That said I think the Blacks are better made than the vast majority of todays golf shoes. There are exceptions but they are much more expensive.

I just picked up a new old stock pair of Footjoy Classics style 51409. (the picture is not the exact pair of what I got but the same style). I owned a couple of pairs of these back in the 80s and 90s. Can't wait to get these broken in and into the rotation.

That older pebble grain was super durable, love my Classics!

Where can you get Classics resoled for $100? It appears that FJ's go to shoe repair facility, LaRossa is looking for $175 to be resoled. I have a nearly perfect pair that need to be resoled and would love to do so....but not at $175.

Thanks!

They must have changed it, I see the $175 price which is for the full restoration, like total rebuild. They used to have it broken down in varying degrees of repair. But then again I could be totally wrong.

I too wish they just did the soles for $100 still. I just picked up a near mint pair this winter from the ebay and the first time I wore them and knelt down, one sole split in like 5 places. I just heard it cracking like a broken window. The rest of the shoes are perfect.
