It could be one of the worst kept secrets in golf equipment history but the FootJoy Pro SL spikeless golf shoes have finally, officially, been unveiled.
FootJoy say the Pro SL is their most performance-driven spikeless golf shoe to date – which for the market-leading brand is a big call.
The FootJoy Pro SL follow on from the DryJoys Casual which have been one of the most popular spikeless golf shoes among tour pros and club golfers.
You could argue that while the performance and comfort of the DryJoys Casual was unquestionable, they maybe lacked the style and premium feel you may expect from the price tag.
But the FootJoy Pro SL seem to take everything that is good about their predecessors but improve on that further and add a huge dose of shelf appeal.
Adam Scott began testing the FootJoy Pro SL as early as the 2015 US Open at Chambers Bay.
Fellow tour players soon got jealous and began making enquiries.
Lee Westwood and Andrew Johnston were quick to put the new shoes into play with Bernd Wiesberger, Louis Oosthuizen and Kevin Na among the other early adopters.
The Technology
The FootJoy Pro SL combines a soft, comfortable, waterproof upper with a midsole/outsole unit that features three distinct layers for underfoot comfort, ultimate perimeter stability, and performance spikeless traction.
FootJoy have once again used outsole material called Fine-Tuned Foam (FTF) which provides enhanced cushioning and shock absorption for added comfort.
