I hope they fixed the tongue issue on this series

[hammergolf]

I actually talked to one of FJ’s executives today. He admitted what I had long suspected about this years shoe models. The lasts did change and most at FJ have found that size of the new models run 1/2 size bigger and 1/2 width more narrow than all the previous models. He said he was a 10.5 M for 20+ years and is wearing 10 W in the newer styles.

What’s the issue with the shoes tongue?

The right tongue constantly moves to right side of the shoe and have to straighten out every few holes. It’s not that big of a deal but can be annoying at times. A lot of my friends that have premieres have the same issue. There isn’t much chatter about it on here, though.

But they are by far my favorite shoe

About damn time they brought this style back! 

[ZacR88]

Lets hope the quality issues are resolved. Which I doubt. 

 

Both pairs I own have had the sole separate and leak after maybe half a season? Warrantied both times but still. For a premium shoe this should not happen. 

 

So much so that the local Golf Towns near me have stopped carrying them.

Too busy, brogue is too big. Missed the boat IMO, approaching gaudy. We'll see how the other colorways look.

I don't like when they use different grains (did it on the cap toe white tarlow too)...I think if it was all pebble it would be less busy looking and look much better.

You and I must be in the minority that think Classic looking golf shoes with stability and durability never go out of style…

FJ should of NEVER discontinued the Dryjoy Tour line. They should have just kept the construction like it was and add the new Tarlow, Field, and Packard styles… I think they went with cheaper materials and changed the last to increase margins.

Classics never go out of style.

Any idea if they will be offering the Premiere Series - Field in a spiked option?

 

Only spikeless now but Ive seen multiple players with spiked outsole.

 

Release date info?

I'd love to get the white/brick colorway Fields but as long as they are spikeless it ain't happening. But I honestly doubt at this point they will. Would be nice if it was at least an option in MyJoys.

[jas904]

I love my Premieres and will definitely be buying these.  Wingtips are my thing.  All of my work/dress shoes are wingtips. 

[stuart.f.cohen]

Love the premiere line and have two pairs and will replace more icons next season but agree the white/brick Field  in a spiked version would be great.  The tour guys all seem to have them with spikes.  Praying for a myjoys option

[stuart.f.cohen]

I also will add that I have not any tongue issues and have worn 10.5M for ever from FJ and the new premier fit just like the icons and dry joy tours of the past

[hammergolf]

FJ could kill it if they would expand the myjoy program and allow you to pick your upper style (Field, Tarlow, Packard) sole color, spiked or spikeless sole, and boa. Also would be a good idea to add an XXW since the Premiers run narrow.

They offer most but not all of those options for the Packard if you choose "start customizing from scratch".  Fewer options for the Tarlow and no options for the Field as far as I can tell.

Hopefully they will add the Field model as an option soon.

I'm a huge Footjoy shoe fan, and have worn nothing else for more than 20 years.  9.5W in Dryjoy Tour or Icon.  Slam them on and walk 18 in comfort.  Problem I've been having, though, is durability.  I bought a few older pairs, NOS, off eBay, and learned my lesson because the plastic materials in the sole deteriorate with age.  I just had a pair of the older style Icons fall apart, sole ripped off, right about the time the original spikes were worn through.  Now I'm wearing some Icon Blacks, and the sole is starting to come apart on those already after less than a dozen rounds.  The pieces that came off are just cosmetic, but still.  NOT HAPPY.  The Footjoy website says shoes have a 90 day warranty.  Are you F'n kidding me?  90 days?  

 

I saw these Premiere jobbies and they look like my kind of shoes.  I'm not the fence about Footjoy, though.  They have become a throw away show company it seems.

I agree. Was a huge Dryjoy/GX/Tour guy for almost 30 years. They lasted forever and had great support. It seems that the quality of materials in the soles has went downhill in the past couple of years on the models they tried to replace Dryjoys Tour with. They must not have learned if it’s not broken don’t fix it… I wonder how many pair Cantlay has stashed?

[goje22]

Ben Taylor had a black/white pair of Wilcox Premiere series on for the event in Houston (great win Tony!). They had the cream soles and were clearly a premiere by the sole. 
 

anyone scoop pics?

Just in case anyone missed it, Cam Smith is wearing the new white Wilcox Premiere in the Australian Open this weekend.

Does anyone have good customer service email for Footjoy? My premieres are falling apart - want to see if they'll do anything.

Love the Tarlow and stocked up when I heard they were being discontinued.

 

Dislike the Wilcox style, just not a fan at all.
