The FootJoy Premiere series have landed...

[Blue in Munich]

The DPD man’s been!! ?

Courtesy of FootJoy and Golf Monthly, I’m now the owner of a pair of FootJoy Premiere Packard golf shoes. ?



Pebble grain leather with a small croc saddle, they look very smart indeed. The lining leather is very soft, almost glove leather soft, and reminiscent of the old FootJoy Classics. The sole has been redesigned so that it is like a hybrid of the new spikeless soles but still with a set of soft spikes ( there’s a comparison photo below with a pair of DryJoys Tour).



First impressions are that they are very soft and comfortable and allow for quick changes of direction (Mrs BiM caught me testing them on the lounge carpet; emergency avoidance tactics were required ?).

Obviously it will be a little while before they can be put to the test in the field, so to speak, but first impressions are that they are a step up from the DryJoys Tour. The insoles feel more substantive and supportive, there’s just a slightly higher quality feel to them; little touches like the more substantive aglets and the classier logo badge reinforce that.

Thanks FootJoy and Golf Monthly, they are very nice indeed. Looking forward to some decent weather and an open golf course...

My FJ Premiers have landed too!!..........
I have always been a Footjoy fan. Having played golf for over 30 years, I have bought many pairs of shoes, but FJ are the only brand that I feel confident of wearing "straight from the box". And none have ever let me down.
I was lucky enough to have recently won a beautiful new pair of "Flint" golf shoes from the new Footjoy Premiere range, courtesy of both Footjoy and Golf Monthly.
Finished in superb white leather, (my favourite colour for golf shoes by the way!), they also have discrete flashes of contrasting navy trim which give them a modern take, but they still retain a traditional look.
The navy accents are carried over onto to spikeless sole, and despite not having worn them in earnest yet, I feel confident that these are going to give me plenty of traction around the course in any weather.
They feel light and comfortable, and I can't wait to give them a proper trial as soon as the situation outside eases.
The Flint shoes come with FJ's usual 12 month waterproof warranty, so I'm confident that they'll take the worst of what our English weather can throw at them.
Like I say, I have numerous pairs of Footjoy's sitting in my wardrobe, but these new Flints have definitely become my Sunday best.....

Must admit that these look very smart. Keen to give them a look over once our new AG opens its doors next month.

They do look good. Got a few pairs of FJs on the go, looking forward to wearing the blighters out!

 

[Robster59]

Very nice. Those grips on the spikeless look very intimidating!

 

[richart]

Do they do a Championship version ?

 

[Curls]

Those are SMART. I want.

Good write ups too. Nice one well done chaps ??

Nice ?

How's the fit?

I noticed we both asked for 10.5W or 11, what did they send and how do they compare size-wise against previous FJ?

Thanks

11M arrived. When I was fitted by FootJoy some years ago, the fitter asked me about previous buying experiences, during which there was a discussion about a pair of Icons which I'd bought in an 11M (which I thought was my size) at 60% off. He measured me as a 10.5W but said if I ever saw another bargain like that in 11M buy them.

I've tried them on alongside the DryJoys in 10.5W and the fit seems very similar. Looking at the insoles side by side and there is barely any measurable difference.



Haven’t given them a proper test for obvious reasons.

Quite like this colour scheme;
