Footjoy 2021?

[BCULAW]

Have a pair of the all white Traditions. Love the look, but have to say they seem to be lacking in durability. I have approximately 15 rounds on mine. There is a small piece of what looks like neoprene padding sewn onto the heel of the foot opening, and the padding has developed holes on both shoes. The stitching is also coming loose on them. They are comfortable, but I’m not sure they last the season for me. I was debating between the traditions and the Premiere at the time of purchase, and I definitely wish I’d ponied up for the Premieres.

Might have a solution for heel slippage with the premieres. Go barefoot while you're breaking them in. I ordered some Packards recently and experienced what a lot of guys are talking about. Even posted them to the BST, when I didn't get my price I figured I'd try them again. Tried them on with no socks and they fit like a glove. I could walk 18 in them easily. I figure after half a dozen range sessions barefoot the insole and leather will be locked in and I can put some socks back on.

This has been my secret for years. I had a period of time where I was developing massive blisters on my heels from walking. I forgot to pack socks for an after-work round so I went without. No blisters. Haven’t worn socks since. If you go sockless, the key is to wear all leather shoes like the Premieres since the athletic style shoes tend to soak up sweat and stink like crazy.

I wear Balega hidden comfort socks with my premieres.  Just the right height and they are the best socks on the market IMO 

Switched to Balega a few years ago.  Great socks. Gave as gifts to a few friends.  Now that's all they wear.

I might be a convert. So yeah just to put a bow on it for anyone interested. This will definitely work for you if you're having a slippage issue, granted the shoes are a decent fit. Though I can't guarantee you'll want to go back to socks. I put some socks on with them the other day and the fit was great, no slipping. They felt so bulky though and I just didn't feel that locked in feel I came to love with these shoes. Granted they were a little thicker sock, I might try something thinner. I went right back to sockless before even taking a swing and I was again one with shoes and ground. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

Was watching the Korn Ferry Tourney today and noticed Peter Uihlein had on a pair on the Hyperflex BOA’s in a color I haven’t seen before. They were a light gray. I hope Footjoy releases this colorway, they looked really good.

These came in the mail yesterday. Can’t wait to wear them!

 

 

do these have a fabric interior lining compared to the leather / suede?? 
 

I see that these are MyJoys… was that an option on the site?

 

thx

Can anybody in this thread speak to the durability of the FJ Traditions now that we're well into the 2021 season?

 

Love the look/price/feel of these shoes, but I have my concerns about how well they'll hold up. The FJ Contours I'm currently gaming haven't aged as gracefully as I would've hoped after a season and a half, and I'm wondering if I should expect a similar lifespan with the Traditions.

 

Would the GFore Gallivanters be a better shoe in terms of quality/performance?
