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

After only a handful of wears, I found a tear in the surface leather. This should not happen if if walking in normal rough. I have purchased cheaper Footjoys in the past that have lasted at least two years and have never experienced such poor quality material in "cheaper Footjoys" that is so easily damaged. A very comfortable shoe. A pity about the resilience of the outer material

At age 56 I have never purchased another brand of golf shoe but Footjoy. Last week I bought a new pair of Premiere Packard's..Footjoy's best shoe. My last pair is 3 years old and it was time. The new shoe is not even close to the quality of the previous version. I will be returning it this week and buying Adidas. Unfortunate that a brand I trusted has sold out to the land of cheap.

Why doesn't FootJoy make this shoe in Narrow width?????????

Leather on right shoe was wrinkled and apparently coming loose from the underneath shoe base. Tried on and amazed how poor the quality assurance team was that sent the shoe to me.

Longtime FJ customer, since 1980s. Currently have 7 pairs of FJs, 3 of which I bought this year (including 2 pairs of Premieres). I rotate, use cedar shoe trees and take care of all my shoes. To my surprise, the outsole of one of the Packard shoes has started peeling off after only 7 rounds!! I was stunned. I of course know these are not made in MA anymore and the quality isn't the same. I only expect to get a golf season out of most. But when you buy FootJoy Premieres, you expect a little more. This is a defect and I saw other reviewers had same issue. Just really disappointed. I take pride in wearing a classic FJ golf shoe. I want to trust my shoes. That's why I buy FJ. Bummed out to say the least.

Woud leave zero stars if I could for the product and the service. Really disappointed. The insoles wore out after light use. Footjoy cannot replace or recommend the correct replacement. Nor can their oem partner ortholite. Aftermarket insoles do not fit. Perfectly good shoes are now useless because of a shoddy spare part that probably costs footjoy pennies. I did try to resolve this but the email correspondence was not good. Polite on the phone but no resolution. I will never buy footjoy again and will tell anyone who will listen to avoid. I probably have about 40 years golf left if I'm lucky.

This shoe certainly catches the eye with its appealing design, but regrettably, its comfort falls short, especially during extended wear on the golf course. As a longtime fan of FJ footwear, I've previously enjoyed their reputation for both style and comfort. However, this particular model fails to live up to those expectations.

Unfortunately, I never received this beautiful pair of golf shoes from my husband's birthday. I can imagine that they are very stylish and comfortable shoes. However, we never got the shoes and furthermore have not received any communication from Footjoy about the lost package.

I have been a loyal fan of Footjoys since 1980. However, after multiple reviews and consults with the online representatives, I was extremely excited to buy the Premiere Series-Packard. Something has definitely changed since my last pair of Footjoys a few years ago.....as these were sent back due to the fact that these were hurting my feet especially in the toe box. I have been to Dick's Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy to try on every style and sizes of Footjoys to no avail. I appreciate the fact that the shoes are made to perfection including the use of leather uppers, however, I am totally depressed that I could not stay in the Footjoy company as I need to be comfortable during my many rounds of golf

Second shoe I order. Exact same size. Exact same brand. Fit is completely different. Not nearly as comfortable. Very disappointed.

I am on my second pair of Premiere series shoes and the sole has start to separate on both pairs. First was the field and now have the Packard. It is not out of the ordinary for golfers to follow through on their right toe for RH player. Unsure why these won't last.

Wore the shoes 3 times (all in 1 week of owning them). Walked 9 holes twice and hit balls. Went to clean them and discovered the tread on the outsole is peeling off. Very disappointed in the durability of these shoes. My first time owning Footjoys and I'm not impressed with the shoes falling apart after wearing them 3 times. Before these I bought cheaper shoes that would last me 2 years and these didn't last 1 week.

I wore these for 2 rounds of golf , in the dry they were fine and reasonably comfortable , for my 2nd round it was raining and not only was I slipping hitting shots bit also after my round the front half of my socks were wet .

I'm a 3 times a week golfer and play in any condition. I have been wearing different footboys for over 15 years and these nice looking shoes are the worst I have ever owned. Stiff and the worst on my feet I have ever worn. My heels had blister within two holes the first time I wore them. The heel uppers dug into my Achilles so bad by three holes I was bleeding. I bought them because I wanted a better looking shoe when I play at the county club and wanted to look my best. So I was willing to pay some extra $$ for them. Big mistake! I did expect that I'd get a shoe I could walk 18 holes in the first time I wore them. I was fitted at a PGA shoe and they felt good there and ordered the exact shoe here. I can't see ever breaking them in. The leather is dry and stiff no matter what I do, I cant image them getting better and they will never be "broken" in. If these were normal shoes I would have bought to wear for work, I'd expect some stiffness but these are first and foremost sports athletic shoes and should not be causing injury on the first use. I'm writing these review as cautionary advice to others. I'll take the financial hit, after all I did buy them. Buyer beware.

exensive shoes that don't hold heel down

The toe was too tight and tge heel too loose. Sent them back today and selected a different shoe

There is no padding on the inside of the shoe and I specifically said that I needed the shoe to have padding on it

Too wide. Need narrow. Custom building the now.

I got severe blisters on the back of my heals despite measuring myself very carefully and on the fact that I had another Footjoy brand for many years with the same size and width and had no issues.

I measured using a foot scale plus I had a another Footjoy brand for many years of the exact same size and width, however, I got severe blisters on the back of the heels

Firstly these are incredibly comfortable. The leather is supple. The fit is good for those with wider feet. The toe box is big enough without being clownish. Regretfully on one shoe the upper is coming away from the midsole meaning they are no longer waterproof. This is only after ~5-6 months of use. When contacting customer services I was informed of their strict 12 months of limited warranty from date of purchase. Considering I bought these in the off season it's really disappointing from an acushnet brand which I really like.

I bought these on March 20, 2023 from a local golf shop at our golf club. I was unable to find the appropriate customer service so decided to comment here. I wore them for 2 days consecutively and in that short span, they made it uncomfortable to walk in and were constantly biting my ankle. This defeats the purpose of golf shoes and compromises the foot health. I would request the company to look into this matter. Regards.

I RETURNED THE SHOES TO YOU DID NOT FIT PROPERLY
