Footjoy All Wheel Drive (AWD) Golf Shoes

For some time now, Footjoy golf shoes have been the market leader in terms of reputation and usage on the pro circuit. In the golf shoe world they are number one, the Rolls Royce of the fairway. Unfortunately I’ve never had the pleasure of sinking my feet into a pair – that is until now!

From the moment I slid on the leather shoes I knew they would be comfortable. They come with an extra wide fitting to suit the Australian market. They’re extremely lightweight and what a pleasure to wear!

There was no sign of a blister after the first round and I think this is testament not only to a good fitting (thanks International Brands) but also to a really good shoe.

The sole has “claw style” soft spikes and an array of rubber nipples and permanent spikes which make for a sure grip. My first round in them was on quite a damp morning – not only did the feet stay dry but also the tread kept my number 10’s firmly planted on the ground.

I tested a white and black saddle over the predominantly black pair. I knew that the white front would dirty quickly, and after three rounds they already look worn. However during summer the white front does repel the heat. It’s been hot so my choice was vindicated, however it is worth some thought when investing in a new pair.

Some may think the $190 price tag is pretty expensive, but I don’t. I think foot comfort in any sport is paramount and considering a decent pair should serve you for at least for a couple of years and roughly eighty rounds of golf (a Hacker estimate and guess only), the shoes set you back roughly $0.52 an hour or $2 and a bit a round. Now do you think comfort and style should be compromised?

These Footjoy AWD shoes are an absolute pleasure to wear, and come highly recommended by Hacker. We have trailed them extensively and really we can’t find a bad word to write about them. The result, another five star Hacker rating!
