Footjoy Pro SL - Opinions

[Jamie23]

Just had an order cancelled by AG for a pair of DNA Helix I had ordered.

They have now bumped the price of the remaining stock to £148 instead of the £90 I ordered them for

Just looking at an alternative and I see Pro SL are now at £99

Just wanted to gather opinions from anyone who currently owns some. Would you recommend them?

I’ve got a couple of pairs, really good shoes. 👍👍

Just received my second pair (Ryder cup special edition in blue/ white & yellow). Lovely shoes, very comfortable, first pair lasted two years, totally waterproof.

Very comfortable shoes....nice and lightweight....cant comment on their ability to keep the feet dry as I've not seen rain on a golf course since February.

Great shoes, but if your playing in the rain and trudging through rough they won’t keep your feet dry. But no golf shoe will. Great shoes, and amazing grip, you can’t go far wrong with a pair.

Good shoes but I have had three pairs sent back to FJ - one pair started leaking after 3 months and the other two - the grips at the bottommost started to come away after about 6 months.

Most comfortable shoe I’ve owned, however, I had to send 1 pair back after 10 months due to leaking (1 shoe) but no quibble replacement from FJ so still very happy with them.

I’ve got 2 pairs, but recently got a pair of ECCO Biom hybrid 3’s. admittedly they are in a different price bracket but well worth the extra.
I would highly consider going for the BOA what ever you do.

Got a pair with BOA lacing. Had them 11 months, playing 2 or 3 times a week. No problem with them.

Won a pair earlier in the year. Didn’t like them when it was hot and dry but more grip when there had been overnight rain than my summer shoes. I’m thinking good Autumn/Spring shoe but going back to spikes in the Winter.

I can't comment on the FJ models you quote, but I did get a pair of FJ Contours a while back, purely based on comfort of fit.
They have been fine.
Wanting a second pair of golf shoes I settled on some of these Callaways https://www.sportsdirect.com/callaway-cheviot-ll-golf-shoes-mens-282009?colcode=28200930
and have found them to be an excellent shoe and excellent VFM.

I bought a pair this year and wore them no more than a dozen times and the sole started coming away from the uppers. Also found then uncomfortable, I have had 3 pairs of FJ contours that I have never had any comfort problems with before.
