Customer Reviews FootJoy Premiere Series - Field Golf Shoes- Previous Season

I have tried two pairs of FJ Premier's this year, pair of black Packard's and white Field's. I returned the Packard's in size 9.5 because they felt too small and tight and then ordered a pair of white Field's in a size 10 and they are too loose and long. I have several pairs of FJ Icons in size 9.5 and they all fit almost exactly the same so I was surprised that the size 9.5s were a bit too small. The Field's look great and would be comfortable but for the slightly larger size which has given me a blister for the first time ever in an FJ product. Needless to say I'm a bit disappointed since I've held off getting new shoes for a bit since they are expensive but usually of pretty top quality.

The shoe is beautiful but didn't fit well in the heel. I ordered a 13N and the forefront was perfect but there was a considerable gap in the heel area.

I have always worn FJ and still wear a DNA model that are 5+ years old. Unfortunately the quality of FJ products has continued to trend downward. The Premiere series is no exception. The Pros: -Style is nice, great silhouette -They actually have replaceable spikes to extend the life of the shoe The Cons: -The leather quality is pretty poor, nothing like the older FJ materials. Right out of the box the leather is very thin and feels like plastic. -The interior lining does not extend through the full shoe/ tongue, leaving a very abrasive, cheap-feeling felt material that is sure to cause blisters/hot spots. -There is no cushioning around the heel counter causing the foot to slip up and down as you step. -The insole has some cushion but the midsole beneath is rock hard. I cant imagine this would be comfortable long-term Overall I was very disappointed. Prices keep climbing and quality keeps going down. I can't imagine these holding up well long-term. I don't think it's a coincidence that the tour players appear to be wearing a fresh, new pair each week on TV...

Look in delivery comments.

Comfort and Performance are great BUT....I'm on my second pair in 8 months (April '23 - Jan '24) and the second pair now needs to be replaced. Had the first pair warranty claimed and now the warranty pair has the same issue. FJ has got to figure out the glue issue on these things gluing the foam mid sole to the tpu sole, it's crazy how fast they come apart. I play 1-2 times a week and I've never had an issue with other brands doing this.

Nice leather and well fitting shoe I just found it to be ugly when it got here.

Toe delaminated on my right shoe and the tongue on my right shoe also slides to the right side of my shoe the longer I wear them in a round. Very disappointed. My 3 month warranty just came up recently as well.

I bought these pair back in June and they were great until the sole broke apart from the rest of the shoe in less than 3 months of use.

Long time FJ customer (40 years). Have always been able to wear out of the box. Not this pair, within 7 (seven) holes I had blisters on back of both heels. Not a great experience!

Surprised that you didn't have various styles in side fittings so bought Ecco

Shoes look great, feel great. A very comfortable shoe. Would much preferred a spiked version for more versatility. Ended up returning these for a different brands spiked model.

I love this shoe will be my 6th BOA... but the last 2 ordered came in small and tight ... I always get a 10w and the last one I gave to my son and this pair is really tight... Hope I can stretch them a bit

Was narrower and longer than every other FJ shoe I've owned of that same size. Ended up sending them back.

Great fit, comfortable and looks awesome

Have tried for the last couple of weeks to buy shoes that fit. I have previously worn FJ shoes (last 20 years) and typically order size 12 WIDE fit. The shoes I ordered were not big enough for me and were smaller than other FJ shoes that I have worn. I then ordered a size 13 - but saw that a WIDE fit was not available. Sure enough, when they arrived they were long enough but NOT WIDE ENOUGH. As such I have returned the two pairs. The shoes looked great and were well made. I should love to have a pair but... As it stands I am wearing an older pair of FJ (size 12 WIDE) purchased several years ago - but they look tired and worn out. HELP?

I have worn FJ golf shoes for 40 years. I purchase 2 pairs of the premier shoes in June 2023. Both pairs leaked inside the shoe when I played in the morning. I call the warranty department and they were very nice and helpful. They send me 2 new pairs of the same shoe. These new shoes leaked also like the first 2 pairs did. I called and told them about this and the reply was since the 2 year warranty was out on the first pair they FJ could not replace the new shoes. The new pairs should have the same 2 year warranty as the first pair but FJ said it does not work that way. The bigger issue is the premier line shoe leaks. I have had 4 pair shoes and each one leak. Since FJ will not stand behind their shoes l will look at other golf shoes. I just ordered some Sqairz shoes. I will be looking at New Balance, Asics and Callaway golf shoes.

Don't buy Footjoy!!! They refuse to stand behind their shoes or provide an even exchange after the shoes cause severe pain on the course. I will never buy their products again and I hope you consider avoiding them as well.

no

I purchased a size 10 Wide fit shoe after seeing several players on the tour wearing this shoe. Seemed fine when I tried it at the store. But when I was on the course, the shoe fit was very uncomfortable. I could not get my core strength while hitting the driver or the irons. My feet did not feel as if they were sitting on the ground. I found it difficult to walk and play with this shoe and got a blister on the first day out. It is a great looking shoe; slightly heavy but should ideally fit like a glove and make walking the 18 holes a breeze.

Sole separated on one of the shoes in only 6 rounds played. Sole is a two piece molded design that alloys FJ to configure in either a spikeless or spiked variant. I purchased a similar designed G/Fore shoe that has a one piece molded sole and it has no issues with double the rounds played. Good news is that my warranty claim was approved, however, the replacement shoe sent is a completely different model even though my shoe model is still in stock in my size (but it is now on sale). I was told that sale items were not available for warranty replacements so they can only replace my shoe (which is only two months old) with the "most comparable" new model. There are five models in this replacement series and I stated that one model is a closer match to my original but of course I don't get to choose so I have to accept what was sent. Large corporations just can't seem to pull off basic customer service. I hope their CEO gets a nice bonus and plenty of stock options this year

I had to return these shoes due to loose fit at heel. This shoe doesn't fit the same as other shoes I've purchased over many years why?

I am a college golfer, on the golf course 6 days a week. I love the sturdiness of the golf shoe when I play, you feel extremely grounded when you swing, and can feel the greens very well when using your feet. Normally, I would give a shoe with that description 5 stars. However, I have many concerns. 1. (Mostly pertains to college golfers) You can't expect to be comfortable in these shoes for 36 holes. I noticed that after 27 holes, my feet hurt quite a bit compared to adidas shoes. 2. The shoes (both feet) wear down extremely quick. Within 5 months of using the shoe (my entire fall season this past year), both the outsole of the shoe, along with the white leather part, fell apart from each other. Along with this, the leather on the inside of the shoe wears down and rips within the first 3 or 4 months. The foam tends to fall out at that point, and if you don't take care of the shoe, it will fall apart completely. Same to say about the spikes. After the 5 months of shoe use, the shoe might as well be spikeless. And it's impossible to get the spikes out to replace them. The insole of the shoe is not meant for golfers spending more than 10 hours on the golf course a week. My toes grinded through the insole within the 5 months I used these shoes. 3. The 2 year warranty that comes with this shoe is extremely disappointing and unprofessional. Not only do they consider the natural wear of the shoe, but they make judgements based off of how old they think the shoe is by the condition of the shoes in the pictures you send them. So if they think the shoes are too worn, or too old, even if they aren't, they won't even consider replacing them. Again, I used them for 5 months, with rips in the leather, insole, toe of the shoe, and side of the shoe, and did not get the warranty replacement.

My review of this shoe is not the performance, but the appearance. The first pair i received was like a sandpaper finish on the toes, especially the left shoe. Not even any pebble finish there. Dirt would definitely never come off that pair. They sent a 2nd pair. Slightly better. But still a terrible finish for $200. Returned both pair. Footjoy took care of the situation quickly. No complaints with customer service, just with quality control.

I've worn Footjoy for 40 plus years and have always been a 10 1/2 extra wide. Ordered the same size in this be premier series and it was so big I could my thumb in the back of the shoe behind my heel. Not sure if it was quality mishap with the size or where the show is being made.
