A modern golf shoe for a modern golfer. FootJoy is a company steeped in the history of the game. But they aren’t shying away from offering a cutting-edge shoe with great sporty and sleek aesthetics, and a new traction system that is sure to generate attention.
“We know the game is evolving,” says Patrick Trubiano, Director of Product Management for FootJoy. “PRO|SLX features cutting edge, never-before-seen performance innovation that will truly advance your game.”
No surprise then that Canadian Corey Conners has already taken to the new version of the shoe.
“Really liking the comfort and feel—lightweight and comfortable,” Conners told FootJoy after wearing the shoes for the first time. “Traction and stability feel great. Walked a few rounds last few days and feet feel great. Honestly nothing I would want changed with them – I’m a big fan!”
Product Keys
Traction
This is the focus of the new shoe. By introducing the PWR Trax System, the shoe offers multiple traction elements to get you locked in when you need it. Using a molded 3D X-Wing that is activated when swinging to distribute energy to the outside of the shoe, the PRO|SLX also utilizes the Race Trak Outsole to increase overall traction.
Comfort
FootJoy uses a StratoFoam midsole, designed to absorb and return energy, to offer the comfort you want. A 3D molded collar locks the foot in place for consistency.
Control
The 3D X-Wing provides the stability you want as you make a swing. FTF+ foam surrounds the comfortable midsole and offers a stable platform, while an exposed heel stabilizer and side wall TPU wrap offer control over lateral and upper movement.
Are they for me?
The PRO|SLX offers a great meeting place between spike and spikeless shoes. You get the comfort and feel of spikeless shoes with an athletic look, but the stability that comes with fixed traction offered by the new PWR Trax System. The previous generation of the shoe has 223 different individual traction points, and this shoe takes that model and improves upon it.
