    We appreciate the comments. I will feed this back directly to the footwear team. We value that consumer journey very highly and will do everything we can to improve it. Getting involved in these exchanges with golfers is only going to help us improve wherever we can. The least we can do is give...

    One thing I would add is the comfort benefit - particularly on the HyperFlex BOA shoe where all pressure points are alleviated from the top of the foot. The BOA system pulls the whole upper of the shoe around your foot rather than it just been tightened at the top. We believe there are some...

    BOA comes with a lifetime guarantee so very reliable and robust. It’s not for everyone but definitely worth giving it a try. There’s quite a lot of people who went to BOA and never looked back.

    Traditionally this has been a bit of a demand/supply issue as we would only sell a very small fraction of shoes with BOA compared to laces so therefore only offer one colour option in BOA. Yes it’s a bit of a chicken and egg situation as maybe we’d sell more BOA if we offered it across more...

    The point I was making was that if a shoe feels too big then try half a size down when going through the fitting process. We understand this causes golfers a bit of an inconvenience but the reality is that you might need a different size across different models to get the desired feel and fit...

    The standard of materials and technology has never been higher. Our shoes have waterproof guarantees and we’re always happy to take a look if a golfer thinks they are leaking. I’m going to be very careful not to sound patronising here but a lot of people think their shoes are leaking after they...

    I’m pretty sure HandJoy was never considered an option as a name for our glove franchise. Our company was founded as a shoe business so the name is a reminder of that.

    We love working with Bernd Wiesberger because he’s such a massive brand fan and loves all the FJ clothing available to him. The fit and the styles are right up his street so he always feels like he has plenty of clothing options week in, week out. We work with him very closely around the major...

    Like I said in a previous comment there’s a bit of a difference between fit and feel - that’s why it’s so important to go through that fitting process to try on different models. For a firmer shoe like DryJoys Tour some people will prefer a certain type of fit and feel. The mesh shoes like Flex...

    Hi. The BOA lacing system has been added to Pro|SL Carbon - these were launched at the beginning of June. Available on our website and a few other online retailers but you won’t find many in pro shops. Next year we’ve got 3 or 4 new models that utilise BOA in different ways but you’ll have to...

    Hi. This area is a massive focus for us moving forwards. Currently, all the plastic used for our clothing and glove packaging is all recyclable so it can go in with your household recycling. But we are trying to do much more.

    Hi. We do go up to XXL in most of our styles but a lot of our fashion clothing is in an athletic fit as standard. Most of our plain and block-colour shirts are in a more relaxed fit - or performance fit as we call it. If you’re ordering online we do free returns so if you’re buying direct from...

    Sorry Bigfoot, MyJoys is your only option for that size. Are there any other brands offering a Euro 50 as a stock option? (Sorry I know I'm not supposed to be asking the questions)

    We introduced FJ Traditions for that very reason. It has the classic look but is very lightweight and comfortable and comes in at around £100 - £50 cheaper than Premiere Series. This has been our best-selling shoe online so far this year.

    It's really hard to make recommendations without going through the full fitting process but it seems like maximum comfort and cushioning underfoot would be the way to go here. FJ Stratos and HyperFlex are probably the best starting point for you.
