Best FootJoy Golf Shoes 2025
AT A GLANCE
MOST STYLISH
FootJoy Premiere Series Field LX 2025 Golf Shoe
More information: FootJoy UK / FootJoy US
I stepped onto the first tee in my new Field LX Premiere Series – a par 5 – so was hitting driver and the stability the shoe provided was very impressive. The ground was hard, but there was no sway or chance of slipping. Footjoy call this their ‘VersaTrax+ Traction Technology’. I think you can tell my feelings on the Footjoy Premiere Field LX: love, love, love.
MOST STABLE
FootJoy HyperFlex 2025 Golf Shoe
More information: FootJoy UK / FootJoy US
This is another remarkable show from FootJoy. It offers tremendous comfort, traction and stability. It comes highly recommended. The HyperFlex is also easy to care for; a simple wipe clean with a damp cloth keeps your shoes looking pristine. So, yet again, FootJoy delivers with the 2025 HyperFlex, offering unrivalled comfort, traction and stability. If you are in the market for a new shoe, you really should include this in your shortlist.
MOST LIGHT WEIGHT
FootJoy Fuel Golf Shoe
More information: FootJoy UK / FootJoy US
On testing in damp conditions underfoot, I experienced strong stability with no loss of grip on uneven lies or when playing out of fairway bunkers. I really thought that the lightweight nature of the shoe would mean a compromise in comfort or performance but I have not yet found any weakness in the shoe. I would say that if you plan to wear it in wintery conditions then you may be better off with a darker colour, but the synthetic leather wiped down easily, so it was easy to keep clean.
BEST OF 2024
FootJoy Pro/SLX Carbon Golf Shoe
More information: FootJoy UK / FootJoy US
This really is all the golf shoe you will ever need. FootJoy has surpassed itself with a great-looking shoe that is lightweight, extremely comfortable and offers unrivalled grip and support. Packed with technological advances, it comes highly recommended.
CLASSIC CASUAL
FootJoy Premiere Series Field LX 2025 Golf Shoe
The nicest pair of FootJoy Premiere Series that I have ever owned. This was love at first sight – the old-school classic look, but packed with tech to make them extremely comfortable straight out of the box.
They were also extremely comfortable, straight away. No break-in period required. The fit is ever so slightly on the larger size, so you could jump down half a size for a more snug fit.
I have since played three full rounds wearing the Field LX – one of which was in damper conditions – and my feet remained dry, as you’d expect from a premium leather waterproof shoe.
Pros:
- Premium waterproof leather
- Classical ‘Tour’ look
- Unbeatable traction while playing shots
Cons:
- Come on….. there are none!

FootJoy HyperFlex 2025 Golf Shoe
It seems that with each successive FootJoy shoe review I do, they get more comfortable, and the new HyperFlex is no exception – it delivers outstanding comfort. My foot felt securely cosseted and so well supported from toe to mid foot through to heel. I cannot recall enjoying wearing a golf shoe more than this model.

I have worn this shoe on several rounds at my home heathland course in typical spring conditions. My feet have remained dry throughout, and although I haven’t yet had the opportunity to wear them for 36 holes in a day, I am sure that they would be fine.
Pros:
- Supremely comfortable.
- Excellent traction and performance.
- Waterproof and easy to care for.
Cons:
- Rather uninspiring looks.

FootJoy Traditions Golf Shoes
I have had many pairs of FootJoy shoes over the years, if I had a criticism in recently it has been around a slightly loose fit. These change all that. I tested them on the same day as several other brands and these were miles ahead for out of the box snug fit. They feel stable, and grip the foot but are extremely comfortable. This is quite the feat (pardon the pun)
This hybrid look is slightly strange out of the box as the sole is so unrelated to the upper but you don’t notice this when they are on, and you get a classic looking shoe with trainer levels of comfort.
Little insider knowledge, Bill Ho wears these as a preference to more premium models as they are super light weight. He knows his onions.
Pros:
- A proper fit, like a golf shoe should fit
- Trainer levels of comfort
- Classic styling is a antidote to all the other on course off course carry on
Cons:
- Probs would not choose two tone

Cons:
- None

Grip is vital to good performance on the golf course as any foot slip in dry or wet conditions can not only cause the golf club to swing improperly but may also lead to an injury. Golfers need traction and stability.
Nearly all golf shoes will either be fully waterproof or offer some kind of water resistance, and this is important as real die-hard golfers play in every weather condition. Having wet feet for 4 hours is not and will never be fun so keeping the feet dry is important, this might even mean you need gore tex in the shoe.
How good the shoe looks is of course subjective to personal style, but is important to any player. Do you prefer an athletic-looking shoe, or are you more full grain leather traditional? Does your shoe offer on-course off-course style or do you want shoes purely for the course? Does the style of shoe you like have the best colour options for your golfing wardrobe?
Price is the last factor to consider. With the models above we have tried to find shoes at all different price points so if you want a shoe at a lower cost, you can get one. Or if you want to spend more, you can do that too. Importantly there is something for everyone.
Do any pros wear spikeless golf shoes on tour?
As you will see on TV when watching the PGA, LPGA & DP World Tour, professionals wear both spiked and spikeless golf shoes, depending on their preference.
Some tour players are looking for extra stability and grip for maximum power creation that a spiked golf shoe might offer, and others are looking for the comfort and style that spikeless golf shoes offer. Some tour players prefer a running shoe style, and others a traditional classic leather shoe; there really isn’t a hard or fast rule as to what tour players wear.
