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

Very pleased with sty and fit and comfort

Size was perfect. Style and color combination is what I liked about the shoe!

I kind of hate the modern trend towards sporty looking golf shoes and prefer the "classic" golf shoe look, so these were my favorite option to pick from. The only sizes available were a 14 narrow and a 13 narrow. I wear a size 13 street shoe and a size 14 athletic shoe traditionally. Using online sizing charts and measuring my feet on paper I thought a 14 narrow would be absolutely perfect for my foot so I ordered that. Showed up in the mail 4 days later and it was huge. Immediately ordered the size 13 narrow because of how badly I wanted these shoes and thought if the 14 narrow was that big on me, maybe a 13 narrow could fit perfectly. 13 narrow showed up a few days after that and they fit snug but not to the point of causing blisters. Played in a scramble the next morning and they were definitely tight, but honestly very comfortable and I'm happy with them. I only notice the tightness when I first slide my feet in, but once I start walking around I honestly forget about it. I really love these shoes. They look amazing, they are very comfortable, and the spikes have great traction. You can literally play 18 in these after never wearing them before and your feet won't be blistered. I would give these shoes a 5 but due to the size confusion prior to ordering I took away a star in my grading. Spending the money on two pairs of premiere golf shoes is scary for someone with a tight budget but footjoy has a great return policy incase the first pair doesn't fit. The only remaining question I have is how many will these shoes hold up for. If they hold up for a long time then I will most definitely be loyal to this shoe for the rest of my golfing days.

This is my second pair of premiere series after recently buying the packard. Very solid and simple shoe. I take 7 wide. I wish FJ would sell their limited edition shoes in size 7. Only down side is laces don't stay clean for long.

The style is great and they are very good looking. Unfortunately they are not very comfortable and feel very loose. To keep them from sliding back and forth on the sides I am wearing thicker socks. This is the first time I e had a problem with FJ.

Shoes are very stable and traction is great. Comfort in the sole is great. Both shoes did start wearing me a blister in my heal area (which is why the 4 stars instead of 5). I do think once I wear them a couple more times, they will be my favorite shoeshopefully, cause I do like them.

Have not worn them on the course yet. Just tried them around the house first. They look awesome. One of the spikes is wobbly and moves a little. Like if the spike were a clock face, it moves from noon to about 1:30. Not sure if it is the spike or the shoe, I will have to find spikes and see. Too bad I cant find spikes on FJ's site. I worry about it popping g out on the course. Have to find info on here a out what type of spikes they are. Normally not a concern for a year or two. At least they have a 90 day return policy if it is the shoe.

2 day shipping turned into 10 days. But I'm happy w the shoes.

Great shoe!!!

Thankfully, FootJoy gives the option of Narrow width shoes. Thes Packard series fits well, very comfortable and stylish!! Love my FJ's!!!!

Well made shoe although not up to the level of the classic or icon products of the past. I like the traditional styling and pebble grain finish. I like that the footbed inserts are removable because I don't like the cheap footbed supplied and put better ones in. The laces are the worst. Broke one in the first 30 days. It's very stable for a light weight shoe and the sole design seems to provide decent grip. It seems to me that footjoy has abandoned the top end of the market and is now building down to a price point rather than building a true premium shoe for the admittedly smaller segment willing to pay more for their best.

The shoes are very comfortable. I also need an extra wide shoe which F/J has in this shoe. Very happy customer.

I ordered these for my husband's birthday gift. He wore them 4 days in a row playing at Bandon Dunes which is a no cart coarse so non stop walking in moist conditions. It even sprinkled one day. He was the only one out of his group to have dry shoes every day. The quality is amazing and I don't think he will ever want to wear another brand. #sweepstakes this is a winner

great shoe and very comfortable with great traction. Runs about a half size small. also the tongue is no connected on the sides and so not a good shoe for wet weather.

Nice shoe.

Good fit and feel. Needs more lacing to tighten better.

Look great. but on first wear, walking 18 holes, small blisters on heal.

Great shoe. I ordered from FootJoy as I could not find a Packard 9 or 9.5 Narrow at or online from a retail store. So I ordered a 9 narrow and 9.5 narrow direct from FJ... thinking it would be easy. Nothing came. I called and emailed. Then only the 9 narrow arrived. No order ticket, no return label. I called.... very long hold. FJ finally sent me the 9.5 as the 9 was to small. I was then able to ship back 9 narrow and I just received a refund...which took 5 business days after returns arrived. The moral... great shoe, however manufacturers are terrible at retail.

When I purchased these last year I was hopeful that Foot-Joy would offer a premium brand similar to the traditional Classics. However, when pulling out of the box you can tell just by looking at them they are not the same level of quality. I understand that there might not be a market for traditional Classics anymore but with more people playing golf I would gather there is. If you are looking for a traditional Classic in look and feel, just know that this isn't the shoe. If you don't mind and want what a Dry Joy looks like and that quality, this is your shoe.

I love these shoes, fit is good, they are comfortable and look good. I wear them on and off the course. My only complaint is the leather is not as smooth as I would like. I like to put a good shine on my shoes and these just won't shine up. Mine are black, so I'll probably buy them in white and then the smoothness of the leather won't matter. Footjoy bring back smooth leathers that shine.

Most comfortable golf shoe I've ever used. EVER. Everything is soft, just a perfect golf shoe. #sweepstakes

Comfortable from day one, excellent fit and good value...

Comfortable out of the box. I've purchased five pairs of the Premiere Series. They are lighter than Icons. I'm replacing eight pairs of Icons that were comfortable, performed well and were durable. I prefer a formal/traditional look and a firm, snug fit. Due to sloppy leg movement, I need all the help with stability I can get, which running-shoe styles lack. Some of the Premiere Series are available in narrow width which is ideal for me. I'm concerned about the durability based on others' reviews. I play five rounds per week (walk and ride) and practice for hours. Therefore, shoes are critical for me. I rest shoes for days, clean after use and always use cedar shoe trees.
