Hey Kevin.....would love your thoughts on longevity of spikeless shoes. Realize there are a number of factors and people don't wear them the same or play the same type of courses, so maybe an unfair question but just thought I would ask for your input. Thank you!
If you're only wearing them on the course, you shouldn't have to worry about the longevity for a couple of years at minimum. I have a spikeless pair of mizuno wave that I wear all the time as my 'muddy trainers' for walks in the forest with my family, and the outsole looks brand new. By comparison, I also have a pair of Jordan 1 low golf shoes that I have worn a lot off the golf course, and I have worn the spikeless outsole down to a flat surface, even wearing through the rubber in one section. I hope that helps give some more context?
I’ve worn Footjoy for years mostly Dryjoys absolutely love those that said with these new Footjoy shoes. I find them bigger in size than they used to be. I wear a 12 medium I almost need an 11 or 11 1/2 because they are so much bigger I don’t know what their doing but they really need to get a hold of their sizing problems!
The SLX is comfortable with good traction in dry conditions. They are a little too bulky with trousers. The biggest problem is I played Royal Portrush in a steady rain a couple weeks ago. My Galvin Green rain gear worked great but the water running down my rain trousers soaked through the toe of the shoe. By the end of the round my shoes were full of water. Not sure if it all came from the tongue/laces or some came around the sole they were so wet. Wet turf traction in this shoe was also very poor. Ok shoe for dry conditions. Extremely disappointed with their performance in wet conditions. Any shoe they lets water in like these did simply isn’t acceptable.
Thanks for sharing Ray. My waterproof test shoes most golf shoes will let water in that situation, only a few have a gusset and waterproof tongue that will keep the water out when he water if running off the waterproof trousers onto the bottom of the laces. Generally if it’s wet conditions, I favour spikes over any spikeless, even these.
In wet conditions spikeless shoes, regardless of brand, simply are not as good as spikes. I did order Ecco C4 Biom’s with Gore-Tex. Hopefully they will be better. Finding shoes with gussets is now something I look for. What brands do you suggest?
I love your channel because you provide fit advice including sizing. Amazing how 99% of other reviews skip that part. I ordered the SLX Carbon 1/2 a size down.
Just watched the latest review on the FootJoy Pro SLX, and wow, it's quite the breakdown. The detailed analysis on every tweak made to the shoe, especially around comfort and stability, really makes you want to give them a go. I was initially skeptical about the major redesign, but the explanation behind the new features and how they're supposed to work won me over after watching the video. The performance tests on wet and slippery conditions matter a lot to me, as I often play in such weather. The look of the new model is definitely polarizing; I'm still on the fence about it. But at the end of the day, performance is what counts. Thanks for sharing such an in-depth review, it really helps in making an informed decision!
Great review Kevin once again. Like your polo shirt care to provide details please. Also new firmware has been released for the shotscope x5 watch which shows course layout. Shoes a bit pricey
Thanks Raj 👍 It’s from GFore, picked it up in their sale this year. Yeah I saw the Shotscope X5 update, not had a chance to give it a try yet, but I will 👍
Old shoe, at least on my feet, never lasted long with the sole coming adrift at the front in less than a season not once but twice. So I would be wary of buying Footjoy again
These are clogs. They are stable but they are freaking huge and makes you almost 2 inches taller which now changes the angle and posture to the golf swing
@@GolfGuyReviews The white parts? They’re already broad and flat with teeny tiny grooves which are more there to show whether they’re brand new than offer any traction. Around here when you go to golf there is a lot of parking lot and sidewalk/cartpath to walk just to get to the range section, putting green, or clubhouse. It eats up spikeless shoes quick. They should have put a few blown rubber elements around the TPU outsole just for rain slick floor safety. Saucony had to do this with their crystal rubber running outsoles. The new material felt awesome on dry road and gripped floors like crazy, but as soon as it got wet it would slip like a banana peel.
Ooooooh, the central white parts are just exposed FTF+ foam, not tpu. The blue parts of the outsole are tpu, the green parts at the front and pack are rubber, and the white are just foam, which sits well below the tpu and rubber 👍
I love the old ones sooo comfy. The new ones look good I think, just not sure about the high bit on the back it look likes it comes up too high but I will try them on when I see a pair and make my mind up then, Great review thanks
