Footjoy have released the new information about their new shoe range which is coming out soon to replace their classic range of shoe. The new FJ Icon shoe is simply the best for the best.

The enthusiasm of the Tour Pro’s was undisguised as they put a very special new FootJoy golf shoe on test. When FootJoy, the company with a 100 year history of serving the game of golf, decided to introduce its finest golf shoe ever, the company drew from finely tailored upper patterns, premium leathers, performance-infused outsoles and an almost limitless customisation options to create the new FJ ICON. Golf’s most demanding critics on the Tour were immediately impressed.

David Toms described his reaction to FJ ICON. “First of all, great looks. And then when I put them on my feet, they were extremely comfortable. This shoe is second to none, really. I couldn’t wait to get on the golf course and walk a round. And after playing in them, my feet felt great.”

Premium full grain upper leathers provide soft breathable waterproof performance. A comfort experience that is enhanced by full leather linings and a leather covered dual density PU FitBed. Memory Foam, an essential feature from the premium FootJoy SYNR-G™ shoe was added to provide unsurpassed custom comfort and a personalised fit.

All this supported on a Tri-density TPU outsole with dual OptiFlex™ to generate the solid hitting platform and great flexibility that good players demand. A perforated alloy Icon Torque Bar put in place additional support for increased stability and power. Stinger™ cleats from CHAMP® proved the perfect foil in terms of traction.

“Making golf shoes is our sole passion,” says Jack Erickson, FootJoy’s Vice President of Golf Footwear. “It’s what we are and what we do every day. Never before have we developed a category of shoes that integrates the very best features from our other categories until now. FJ ICON truly is the best of the best.”

The new FJ ICON will be with FootJoy retailers in the New Year. With 44 base colours, 79 saddle colours, 54 accent options and three lace colours to choose from, the options are almost endless. Simply design the shoes, print and hand to or e-mail the summary to your local FJ stockist and they’ll take care of the rest!

Perhaps the last word should go to Ian Poulter, a man it’s fair to say who has more than a passing interest in design. “We’re all excited to get to create and design our own FJ ICON shoe from start to finish. It’s a very exciting time for the shoe to evolve and take us to the next generation.”

Watch out for the new FJ Icon Shoes coming into stock.
