Whilst in Florida last Oct, I picked up a couple of pairs of Footjoy Classics Dry Premier shoes, - Factory Blemishes, but a helluva good price @ $160ish.
They are absolutely pristine apart from one small mark on the heel of one shoe, nothing more than you'd pick up within the first wear or 2 etc.
Have left them in the boxes till now, with the intention of selling one pair perhaps, but in all honesty, I just cant do it, they are fantastic and I have yearned for some for years !!
Have now worn the Black pair twice however, and a tad miffed
The first wear for 9 holes went without hitch, uber comfy & warm, and fantastic support & stability.
But, last saturday wore them for 18holes, a totally dry day apart from a heavy dew inevitably. Again super comfy, improving all the round, BUT......
.....by the time I finished, the outer edge of the shoes which is closest to the sole etc, was a tad damp, and on taking them off, there was definitely slight dampness across the soles under the ball of my feet.
Ive emailed FJ about this, as I understood all Classics have a 2yr Waterproof guarantee, and to be fair, they have send send back for examination etc.
The other pair are still BNIB, yet to be worn, so no idea if same problem may occur.
FJ have recently announced that they are stopping making Classics apparently, which is a real shame, but perhaps 'total leather' cant be relied upon in these days of super synthetic materials ?
Anyone else have Classics ??
