I love a new pair of golf shoes to test so you can imagine my excitement when three brand new pairs from FootJoy arrived on my desk. So let’s take a look at the new FootJoy women’s golf shoes for 2020…
FootJoy women’s golf shoes 2020: First impressions
I really like the styling of all three of the offerings I have tested from FootJoy. I opted to try the pink and silver BOA Pro SL, the white and silver laced Pro SL, and the pink and white Flex. (I like pink, get over it.)
The Flex is clearly the sportiest in styling which is great as it can easily double up as a trainer in the gym or when I’m out and about. The Pro SL is a more formal golf shoe but all colourings have a sleek classic style which I love.
FootJoy women’s golf shoes 2020: The Technology
The new infinity outsole in the Pro SL means there are more points of contact between shoe and ground – 189 to be exact (see main photo) – and what FootJoy are calling the ‘Powerharness’ works by providing more medial and lateral stability.
FootJoy say they the innovative and integrated sole design makes them the most comprehensive spikeless golf shoe in its history to combine comfort and grip.
In the Flex, FootJoy have built on the success of its launch in 2019 and expanded the range to include a women’s model. The lightweight upper mesh and moulded EVA FitBed cushion make them very comfortable.
FootJoy women’s golf shoes 2020: NCG Verdict
It’s hard to emphasise how good the Pro SL are. With the updated looks and shaping it almost feels like a completely different range of shoe from last year.
Sometimes you don’t know what you’re missing until it’s put right under your nose – or feet, in this case. The shoe fits completely differently to last seasons offering, the base feels wider and more stable, but the upper still fits tight to hold your foot in place.
