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

As an avid Classic wearer these shoes were cheaply made. The materials seemed cheaper and they didn't even use wax shoelaces to protect them while walking in the morning dew. The spikes and lower portion of the shoe seem solid. They are just not the quality I expected.

Fit is tighter than other Premier models, which is a problem for those ordering based on other FJ shoes. Be careful if you have orthotics. Interesting styling and traction seemed good, although I haven't yet worn in the rain.

Love the throwback look of the Tarlow. I bought the white Version and they look like Jack Nicklaus' shoes back at his Master's win in '86. Classic and professional look and appearance.

Bad fit. Medium was too wide.

I love the look of these shoes but was disappointed when I tried them on. I immediately knew I would get blisters with these shoes due to a seam near the heel. Why not just make it one continuous piece like the Pro SLs?

I have wide feet but prefer a snug fit. I had difficulty keeping the heel of this shoe from slipping. Toe box and contour of foot bed is comfortable, yet a wide heel exists even in a medium width.

The Packard is a nice shoe, well build, good quality leather...but I struggle with the fit...had ordered 11 W (my regular FJ size based on years of DryJoy Tour). Recently purchased the Wilcox model and they were lose but manageable in 11 W...the Packard as an 11 W...tight in toe box and across mid foot...can't figure it out...have now ordered the Field model, hoping I can fit the right fit.

Shoes are great except for a couple things. The look and traction are amazing. There are some fit concerns and the insole could be upgraded can't even walk 27 holes without a good amount of soreness. Had some old Dryjoys size 11 that fit and felt great. A friend of mine won these new shoes in a 10.5W and gave them to me. They fit extremely long in comparison (minimum 1/5" longer) to the point my heel was loose. However, that wasn't the worst part, compared to the old Dryjoys the heel on these has no padding or curve to it at all for comfort could make you bleed if not paying attention. Not sure who approved this heel design after wear testing them but they should be under scrutiny. Might have to try a different style (FJ Originals or FJ Traditions) or another company (G4)

I bought these shoes and played around 10 rounds in them now. They don't have any padding or support, just flat without much cushion. During every round my knees and feet start to hurt. Leather scratches or damages pretty easy too. A friend accidentally stepped on my foot, gashed the leather pretty good just from that one thing. They look great and have great traction.

I purchased premium FJ shoes years ago and they were perfect. Comfortable right out of the box with a very high build quality. I foolishly expected a similar experience this time around but these shoes are cheap, uncomfortable and still very expensive.

Fit small. Had to return. Need to try a larger size.

Footjoy seem to have changed their width fittings, and their 'wide' is no longer wide enough. They do an extra wide in some models, but only in what I would regard as summer shoes, or the extremely expensive MyJoys. I recently bought some wide fit Premiere Series Packard shoes, but am regretting it, as they aren't quite wide enough, and I'm having problems with the width, and blisters on my heals. I have bought Footjoys for the wide fitting for many years, and they've been brilliant. A great fit, comfortable from day 1 and great quality. I am now very disappointed with the changes to the width fittings. If they're going to make the wide fit narrower, they should at least offer all models in an extra wide fit.

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.

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?

Not for 18 hole walkers. Blisters abundant. Not enough padding to protect ankles and heels. Not a good as the old dryjoys.

I really loved this shoe! It is extremely comfortable and has great turf to shoe feel. I did not slip once while wearing them! The one issue I have is after 12 rounds, the sole is beginning to tear away from the shoe. I would expect much better quality from FootJoy and the price.

Nice looking shoe but my heel slides up and down when walking and socks slide down off my foot, tried a thicker pair of socks but that made the fit to tight. Received these shoes as a birthday gift back in January so didn't wear them right away due to cold weather and not playing plus course conditions when able to play but footjoy would not refund when I tried to in April saying I waited to long. One reason I personally don't like buying shoes online but the wife did so what can I really say.
