Our FootJoy Pro SL review took place at Amendoeira Golf Resort in Portugal.
I learned a bit more about the shoe before playing 18 holes on the Faldo Course.
Then to get a bit more detail on the tech, I interviewed FootJoy’s director of product development Jeremy Baldwin.
FootJoy Pro SL review – First impressions
I first got a glimpse of this shoe on the feet of Adam Scott.
It didn’t take long for other tour players to start wearing them with many putting them into play at The Open at Royal Troon.
It seemed like a lot of players who had previously worn the DryJoys Casual were transitioning in the Pro SL.
To me, the DryJoys Casual was a top-performing spikeless shoe but it didn’t quite have the style you’d expect for the price tag.
The Pro SL look stunning and when you get them in your hands the leather feels super-premium. You’ll really feel like your getting your money’s worth.

FootJoy say the Pro SL is the number one spikeless shoe on tour because there’s no compromise on traction. Now there’s no compromise on style.
It can take a lot to convince spiked-shoe stalwarts to move into spikeless. The DryJoys Casual certainly did that and now with the Pro SL I’d expect to see even more moving in this direction.
Andrew ‘Beef’ Johnston went from HyperFlex into Pro SL.
FootJoy Pro SL review – The technology
FootJoy have once again used outsole material called Fine-Tuned Foam (FTF) which provides enhanced cushioning and shock absorption for added comfort.
