Why do Footjoy

[Smiffy]

insist on putting those horrible "waxed" laces in their shoes?
Lost count of how many times during a round of golf they come undone.
Trying to get them tight is almost impossible.
Crap.

BOA is the way to go mate :thup:

I've got BOA shoes Phil.
I'm asking why Footjoy persist with those horrible waxed laces.

If you don't get on with them, why don't you just buy the type you do like?

Not exactly a huge cost compared to new shoes.

A question on BOA- what happens when the laces snap? Is that then a new pair needed?

Cheap ? They only seem to do them in the DNA - the ones in the FJ Casuals are normal laces

I have ordered a couple of new pairs (of laces).
But I've not met anyone yet that likes the standard waxy type ones.

Never known the cable to snap, mine are still fine after 3 years. Don't know what sort of warranty FJ put on the BOA system.

 

[USER1999]

Longer than their waterproofing.

 

[Jacko_G]

Don't like the fit of FJ shoes.

Had the same thought years ago, then I learned the correct way to tie my shoes.
They never come undone now, but it took a while to get out of the automatic old way of doing things.

Think I'm on my 4th pair with boa lacing. Never had one snap, but if I did I'd send them to FJ.

They have them in a number of their shoes now including the Icons and they definitely don't stay done up properly, especially if they get wet.

 

[Oddsocks]

Waxy ones don't absorb the mud so stay whiter.

Stop being a tart Smiffy

 

[Face breaker]

Please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the whole idea of the waxed laces was so that they didn't come undone !...:smirk:

 

[louise_a]

I have had several pairs of Footjoys, I have 2 pairs at the moment, and none have had waxy laces.

 

[Bigfoot]

I have had about 10 pairs of Footboy and all have been waxed laces and prefer the water repellent benefits of them and I have never had to replace them.

i watched the video and had no idea which way I tied mine. I then checked and it seems I have always tied mine in the "correct" way. Thanks go to my mum for teaching me well. :thup:
