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

The shoes do NOT look like they are leather. I don't really like the dimpled design as the current shoes are the smooth black leather. They do fit so, that's most of it for me- well see how I play-

I have owned several pairs of FootJoys over the years and this time actually bought two pairs at once - one off the rack and one custom. The off the rack ones arrived quickly which was great - but I did not find the look or quality of the leather to be as good as the had been in the past - though I was spending the most I had ever paid. The inside of the shoe did not look as high end and the leather seems thinner and unlikely to be as long lasting as my other pairs had. The sole and spikes are fine as ever. I'd cancel the custom ones if I could have and tried a different brand if this is the best footjoy can offer nowadays. Made in China - I didn't know they were a leather powerhouse to be charging $200 plus dollars for shoes.

My Premier Packards lasted just over a year before letting in water and I have alternative winter shoes that I also wear. I also never play in heavy rain. I will say they are very comfortable indeed though. But now are resigned to the driest of days whenever that may happen.

Shoe is aesthetically pleasing, however, the performance and durability after a year, fall short of the previous era, Icon. Shoes broke in quickly (much faster than the Icons) but after a year of golf, 40 rounds, the shoe bed feels dead, no support. I have two pairs of old BOA Icons, which I'll go back to until I can find a similar replacement. FootJoy staff suggested the Alpha Tour may be more in line with the Icon. I was told the manufacturing facility was-"re tooled". Disappointed after many years of great experience with FJ premium shoes!

It's a nice looking shoe with a very good sole. However the lightweight upper materials sacrifice durability, and overall quality is not up to the historical standard of top line Foot Joy shoes. The laces are terribly weak, breaking during the first month; these really need the waxed laces once used in the FJ Classics. The removable inserts are a good idea, allowing you to replace them with better quality pieces like those by Superfeet.

Great shoes! Lots of compliments very comfortable. First couple of wears gave a few blisters on the heel, but other than that they have been great.

They run narrow and plan on exchanging them for a wide size. Great shoe!

The outside sole was cracked when they showed up to the house but they look good.

After wearing foot Joyce, for 40 years, this is the first pair that ever felt like cheap leather. I'm not even sure if it's real. Sizing is appropriate and typical. I am having to break in this pair, which is the first time ever.

Would have preferred a more pointed , narrower shoe but ordered online without seeing the product.

I bought these shoes half a size smaller than normal, and the heel still rubs and leaves blisters as they are slightly too big

Got the brown version and have to say they are as good as a shoe can get from a looks perspective. Played one round in them, grid was alright, not great, however very stable laterally. The issue I have is you have to wear THICK, tall socks with these or they will blister your heels to death. I wear shorts so these are going in the closet....

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the white leather paint cracked and flaked off after few rounds.By far the most stable and comfortable shoe I have owned, would buy again even with the issue of paint flake.

Great looking shoe. Had to return twice due to sizing issues. Had blisters on my first round. Will need to purchase heel inserts. I guess I have narrow heels. We'll see on the next round, or I'll consider these my riding shoes.

Ran far too narrow. I ordered an 8.5 W, have never worn a "W", always a regular size, and this was too narrow.

This ran narrow for an 8.5 normal width.

Awesome product amazingly comfortable

The golf shoes are fantastic getting them here was another question. Tracking did not work cannot speak to anybody at corporate complete failure too bad great product poor execution

Style is terrific. Fit is disappointing. Bought. 10 1/2 wide as usual. This is my 8th pair of FJs with this size. Fit is simply not accurate, both feet slip around in the shoes as if they were extra wide. I can only describe this as inconsistent with my past experiences. Disappointed to say the least.

I am disappointed that I can't get plain old Black Leather golf shoes, from Foot Joy, in my size!!! Admittedly, a size 10 narrow is not common. However, I had been buying them for over 50 years and was on, probably, only my 4th pair. I also own a white pair and a brown and white saddle style. At 80 I doubt I will be wearing any these out but who knows.

Stylish ,comfortable, and classic

Seems I am in the middle in terms of sizes. They run narrow, but the wides are SUPER wide. Went with a shoe from another company.

The shoes are very well presented , as in the specification. However, the inside of the shoes have stitching on both sides of the heel area not a feature in my previous FJ shoes and on the initial wearing it causes some blistering on the inside of both ankles.

Love the look, but they squeak with every step.
