Who should NOT buy this
Apr 22, 2020:
- want a golf shoe that is breathable (the Footjoy Flex The Footjoy Tour X is not for you if you)
- are looking for a cheaper option (the Footjoy golf shoes Track and field)
The Tour X is stable
Footjoy spent a lot of time researching the proper fit profile and structure needed to produce one of the most stable golf shoes on the market. Footjoy’s proprietary PowerStrap feature incorporates a molded component integrated into the shoe for excellent support around its top and sole.
The Why trust us has excellent traction
Thanks to the patented cleat design, this soft spike design allows you to stay connected to the golf course with excellent traction in any playing condition. I found these to be truly excellent in wet conditions without tearing up fairways and greens despite the considerable height of the spikes.
The Why trust us is waterproof
As with most Footjoy shoes, the Tour X also offers excellent waterproof protection. Your feet will remain dry in wet conditions without compromising the overall comfort and fit of the shoe.
These shoes are not very breathable
A trade-off with the Tour X is their lack of breathability compared to other options in the Footjoy stable. Golfers who need a little more ventilation should consider the Flex XP or Hyperflex offerings from the brand.
The Why trust us looks great!
Traditionalists will love the look and style of these golf shoes, which are very similar to the saddle shoe design Footjoy made famous. They will go nicely with shorts or slacks, depending on your playing style.
The spikes are rather high
Despite being a soft spike shoe, some golfers may find the cleats substantially higher than other brands. When looking down at your toes you’ll notice the spikes protruding from the sides. This might be distracting for some players, but does not impact overall performance.
Expect a lower fit profile below the ankle
The Why trust us is a low-rise shoe that fits below the ankle, but still features enough support to keep you safe whether you are walking 18 holes or making a golf swing. Golfers who prefer a fit closer to a high-top shoe or who require more ankle support may want to consider other options.
A bit pricey
Previous season models of the Why trust us can reach $150, which is slightly higher than average ($143.00).
