FootJoy changes its most popular shoe, the PRO|SL. Here’s why.

When FootJoy consulted their top PGA Tour players to inquire about making changes to its Pro|SL shoe, the shoe chosen by more Tour players than any other, the feedback was clear: don’t.

But players never settle, and neither does FJ. The brand operates with a singular focus on the game of golf and every little thing golfers need to perform at the highest level. It’s one reason FJ has been the top shoe at every tournament on the PGA Tour since 1945. And it is why the brand spent more than 18 months to develop, test and perfect a new and improved Pro|SL.

“As the industry leader, we didn’t tweak or adjust the new Pro|SL, we innovated and advanced and received Tour approval,” said Richard Fryer, Director of Product Management, FJ Footwear.  “As a result, we’ve developed a product that delivers more stability, more traction, more comfort and more choice, setting the standard in performance footwear, again”.

MORE STABILITY. MORE TRACTION.

The all-new Pro|SL offers more traction and stability for every single shot. The all-new Infinity outsole configuration provides grip that just won’t quit, with 189 points of traction that deliver superb contact with the ground and the perfect foundation throughout the golf swing. The unique infinity shape optimizes stability, with an 11.5% wider heel and increased forefoot stability.

MORE COMFORT.

Pro|SL offers just the right amount of comfort with a Dual-Density (D2) Midsole that delivers both stability and cushioning. Its advanced design utilizes two densities of FJ proprietary FineTuned Foam (FTF): a firm FTF around the perimeter for support and control, and a softer FTF under the foot for max cushioning and comfort. 

With multiple layers of comfort and support, along with a super-soft waterproof leather and Power Harness to hug your feet, the all-new Pro|SL provides the comfiest ride in golf with max medial/lateral control and support.

MORE CHOICE.

For those looking for even more comfort and stability, FootJoy has created an additional option, Pro|SL™ Carbon, integrating a full-length carbon fiber insert into the midsole for off-the-charts stability and motion control. Carbon fiber flexes and elastically snaps back to its molded position with each step recovering more of the energy generated while walking and allowing the body to work less.  This will result in less leg and foot fatigue at the end of the round.

Pro|SL Carbon shoes provide enhanced wrap-around comfort and no-slip fit with a soft, molded collar and conforming underfoot cushioning with an OrthoLite® Impressions FitBed®.

WHAT THE PROS ARE SAYING

“I’m someone who loves to be comfortable, and the new Pro|SL is the most comfortable golf shoe I’ve ever put on my feet,” said Louis Oosthuizen.

“When I tried Carbon for the first time, I wanted to put them in play immediately,” said Charley Hoffman. “The comfort and stability is incredible”.

Women’s Options

FootJoy is also introducing the all-new Women’s Pro|SL, which has already been worn to victory on the LPGA by Sei Young Kim, winner of the 2019 CME Group Tour Championship.

Availability

The men’s Pro|SL will be available is both a laced and BOA version at Golf Town stores and golftown.com beginning February 1. The women’s Pro|SL will be available online only beginning in March.

  1. The pros get a new pair after every round if they want, so wear and isn’t even slightly considered by them.
    I change the spikes in my FJ shoes each year after approx 30 rounds.
    With these new spike-less models, how long will it take for traction to deteriorate?
