Footjoy Classics Dry Premiere

Opinions and Sizing questions

I'm interested in a pair of the FJ Classics Dry Premiere. I really love this style







Anyways, golflocker.com has these with factory blemishes for a great price, i've heard you can barely tell there is a blem as well. How do you guys feel about these shoes? Comfort and stability. I've heard they are heavy but I don't think that can be bad when swinging, may add some stability. As far as walking the course, I can deal with that.

Also, I wear a 10.5 in the Adidas Tour 360 I currently have....are the footjoy sizes similar. Also, would a D be pretty standard for a foot of normal width. I know I should get fit, but just want some input here. Thanks.

1. I'd go to a FootJoy account and get fitted. Even at the blemish price, they're still expensive.

2. I've ordered several pairs from GolfLocker. I've only sent one back. They others have nearly unnoticeable scuffs or marks, which essentially disappear after one wear.

I love my Classics Dry Premiere shoes. I newarly always walk and have no problem with the added weight. I have bought from Golflocker before and I believe they have a pretty good return policy.

 

 

 

The Classics do run a little differently in size than many shoes. As a previous poster advised, the best was is to get fit by a FJ account. If you can't do that, Footjoy advises to have your foot measured using a Brannock device (the metal foot sizing device found in any decent shoe store). I found that to be very accurate.

 

 

 

For one data point, I normally wear a size 12 in any shoe and am between medium and wide on the width. A FJ Classic size 11.5 D fits me perfect. Good luck.

I also say these are by far the best shoes I have owned and if taken care of will last for a long time. The most important is do not guess on size if you do not know because I had to send mine back with all the different widths available. Great shoes though.

Without a doubt, go somewhere and try on some FJ's. If you can't find Dry Premieres, try on some Dry Joys. They are almost identical with regards to fit. All the shoes that I wear are size 11 (Nike, Adidas, etc.). For some reason I wear a 10D in my FJs. Take into account that I like my golf shoes tight yet comfortable. Don't worry about weight. You likely won't notice when you get out on the course. The durability is outstanding. I have had the white and brown saddles for nearly 4 years now. A little cracking in the leather but that is because I haven't done the upkeep. In fact I have a few pairs of the spikeless on the way.

I have tried many different manufactures and have found FJ is the only way to go. I walk on a regular bases and find them to be very supported and the added weight is not an issue. I have ordered factory blems for years and have found no issues. You will find the break in period to be very short, just take the out of the box and put them on, LOL

[dminn23]

If you want to break them in quickly can't you just take out the spikes and wear them to work for a few days or something or would that be just plain dumb?

[tlflanders]

A little advice, don't be that guy! There is really no need to break these in. You can take them right out of the box and go straight to the course. The leather is quite soft and and moves well. Actually, the older the shoes are the less flexible they become.
