Footjoy Classic Tour

[dl3]

How do these shoes compare...

How does the Footjoy Classic Tour compare to the GF II? Are they comfortable and will the hold up over time?

Man I just got my first pair of classic. I dont plan on looking at anything else from now on. These are just that good.

Comfortable and just solid shows. The feel like nothing else I have ever worn

[camquest]

I have had several pairs of the original classics and now have a few pair of the classic tours. I have to say that they are very comfortable, lighter and still look great.

Classics are of the highest quality when it comes to golf shoes. Theya re hand stitched. Classics have a special last that allow for a huge selection of widths. The materials used in classics are much better. There is much more variety to choose from when buying classics compared to GF II. Right now I have 18 pair of Classics. Some people collect tour clubs, I collect shoes. My wife thinks I'm nuts.

Some of my classics

I love the classic, I think they actually improves your golf swing because it got one of the most stable base around. Its the only shoe ever that i can comfortably transfer my weight.

 

Got one then bought another one to cycle..

 

Since the sole and upper are stitched, I expect this shoe to last at least 10 yrs :p

love 'em. try to find a place near you that sells blems. If you were planning on buying a pair for full price you'll be able to afford two!

 

I actually have an old pair of oakleys that I use for daily range and practice. I save the Classic for my weekend rounds with friends.

That is the most pairs of golf shoes I have ever seen in one place outside of a golf superstore! I don't want to take sides, but I think your wife might be right. I thought the 4 pairs of golf shoes I owned was excessive. Nice collection!

Yeah, I would say that qualifies as excessive. He's got me by a pair. That is if my addition is correct. I have 12 pair and I counted 13. However with the new stuff being released, I may have him by a couple of pair by September. :yahoo:

IMO the classic tours are a very CHEAP feeling shoe... go with the classics dry premiere...

the only difference is a the classic have a leather sole and the tours have a cushioned sole.

 

I'll agree with you if you say the classics have a more refined look, but to say the tours are cheap in construction or quality is far from the truth.

i have 6 pair of classics dry premiere and 2 pair of the classics tour... now granted the tour are lighter and softer, but the leather feels almost synthetic (cheap) and don't hold a shine as well... as i said though IMO you don't need to agree / disagree with me because i could care less

I concur -

 

I was in the market for a new pair of Footjoys. I bought a pair of Dry Premiere's last year. Surprised at the size - 7.5uk in an E fitting. I usually take size 8 shoes, maybe an 8.5 at a push.

 

They are comfortable, but give me a slight squeezing sensation by the end of the round, just the last couple of holes. Nothing major, I actually didnt notice it the other day, so maybe its stopped being a problem!

 

I got my feet measured properly at a Footjoy Classics Club shop - proper footjoy measuring device.

 

It showed me as a 9 (US) ie an 8uk in a D fitting. I was surprised with the width being smaller, but I could perfectly understand the size issue. Think this is where my toes are getting squished!!

 

Anyway, sorry for the ramble.

 

My pro didnt have my size in white / brown saddle Dry Premieres. (Every other bloody size though! :yahoo: )

 

He did however, have a pair of all white Classics Tour.

 

"What are they like compared to the Dry P's" I asked.

 

He told me he'd tried a couple of pairs, and found they were not a patch on them.

I thought they were the same upper, but with the obvious rubber sole.

He said the leather is different......not the same calfskin as the more expensive shoe.

Had a 'plasticy' type feel.....

 

Just my 2 pence worth :bad:

I have 3 pairs of classic tours and 1 classic dry. I find the tours are more comfortable. But the are both the best shoes on the market.
