First impressions
I’d say this is FootJoy’s most striking launch to date and last year’s HyperFlex were pretty loud.
I was 50:50 before putting them on but once I had them on my feet, I was 100% sold on both looks and comfort.

A few people in the office who had turned their noses up on first viewing also came around when they actually saw them on.
They feel incredibly light with really soft, snug cushioning under the heel, around the ankle and tongue.
Although I wouldn’t class FreeStyle as spikeless, the soft spikes are so soft that they can easily be worn off the course without causing any problems.
They are available in a BOA option but the fluorescent laces were completing the package for me.
The Tech
But in a nutshell:
– Inspired by the Red-eyed Tree Frog for the way they can get superb traction on any surface.
– Helps golfers achieve the same whether on up-hill, down-hill or side-hill lies.
– Created to be FootJoy’s most mobile shoes to date by removing the internal shank and adding flexzone technology. This mobility will allow golfers to move freely through the swing and gain more power.
– Some golfers may prefer a rock-solid base with little or no movement but FreeStyle is for the mobile golfer
