FootJoy – All-new FJ Fuel golf shoe offers improved comfort, traction and stability

January 22, 2025 – FootJoy, the #1 Shoe in Golf, is teeing up the new year with the launch of the all-new FJ Fuel, redesigned from the ground up to offer golfers a model packed full of comfort in an incredibly lightweight platform.

FJ Fuel continues to be the shoe of choice for some of the top male and female golfers on the global professional tours, with many preferring the athletically styled, spikeless option that offers year- round traction and stability.

During the 2023/24 season, the model secured six victories across the DP World and Ladies European Tours, making it FootJoy’s second most successful shoe franchise, behind Premiere Series.

One of these wins came from David Ravetto at the Czech Masters. The Frenchman converted into the FJ Fuel franchise two years ago after suffering a knee injury, meaning he needed to wear a performance shoe that offered extra lightweight comfort without sacrificing Tour- proven traction.

“I really like FJ Fuel because of its lightweight attributes,” said David Ravetto.

“After my knee injury, I needed a shoe that would help me conserve energy while walking around the golf course and have found that Fuel offers me just that, along with excellent traction and great comfort.”

The all-new FJ Fuel takes lightweight performance to the next level, weighing 10% less than its predecessor.

This is achieved through a geometrically optimised EVA cushioning system, which delivers an incredibly light platform with responsive energy return to keep you moving effortlessly.

For superb grip, the shoe features a Pro/SLX inspired racetrack outsole design, with strategically placed perimeter traction elements. A new full-width PowerClip harness lateral movement to the ground, giving golfers the confidence to go full-throttle on any lie.

Golf-specific performance is paired with a modern design featuring a new stylish upper and an athletic comfort tongue, allowing golfers to walk the course with both style and comfort.

“As we continue to listen to the needs of discerning golfers, we are thrilled to introduce a completely reimagined shoe that takes athletic shoe performance to new heights,” says Richard Spink, Footwear Product Manager, FootJoy EMEA.

“The new FJ Fuel incorporates the latest footwear technologies, designed to excite current Fuel wearers and also attract other golfers who are looking for a super lightweight footwear option that allows for effortless walking on the course, while delivering the performance qualities you expect from a FootJoy shoe.”

Features and Benefits:

  • Premium synthetic leather upper with breathable meshlinings.
  • Geometrically optimised EVA Cushioning system minimises weight and maximises energy return.
  • TPU PowerClip harnesses lateral movement for increased stability.
  • Underfoot cushioning from a high density molded EVA FitBed.
  • Multi-dimensional traction lugs conquer any lie.
  • A Flex Last offers a full rounded toe character with a full fit across theforefoot and instep. A toe spring and a slightly narrow heelcompletes the athletic profile.

With an updated design and new performance technologies, HydroTour remains the go-to storm-proven, waterproof jacket in golf.

Three-layer, four-way stretch waterproof fabric offers the ultimate in waterproofing and playability.

Under-arm zip venting adds increased breathability and the DrySeal Collar helps prevent water running down your neck.

FootJoy has also implemented a PFC free C0 DWR finish on the Autumn-Winter 2024 range as part of the brand’s ongoing sustainability efforts.

HYDROKNIT

With a water resistance rating of 15,000 mm, the HydroKnit Rain Jacket provides reliable defense against heavy rain. The fabric efficiently repels water, while fully sealed seams enhance its weatherproof capabilities. Reflective detailing on both the front and back adds visibility, ensuring the jacket is suitable for use on and off the course, especially during the darker autumn and winter months.

Both the jacket and trousers come with a three-year waterproof warranty, offering a modern approach to outerwear for golfers who prioritize both functionality and style.

HYDROLITE X

Designed for warmer playing conditions, the all-new HydroLite X Jacket features lightweight and breathable 2.5 layer, four-way stretch waterproof fabric resulting in complete all-year-round versatility.

Engineered knit panelling provides maximum freedom of movement and an overlapping hem construction reduces bulk when addressing the ball.

With a three-year waterproof warranty, the HydroLite X Jacket is available in five colour options.

Also new for Autumn-Winter 2024 is the HydroLite X Trousers and Hoodie for a modern look with added protection from the elements. Brand new HydroSeries bucket hats and waterproof caps are also available.

FootJoy – Advance your game with the next evolution of FJ Pro|SL, the new FJ Pro/SLX and FJ Pro/SLX Carbon

February 14, 2024 – Regarded as one of the most successful product franchises in golf, FootJoy Pro|SL has set a high standard for performance golf shoes by delivering comfort, traction and performance for men, women and juniors at all levels of the game.

The next evolution of Pro|SL, Pro/SLX and Pro/SLX Carbon, incorporates the most advanced materials, performance technologies and construction processes to provide golfers with revolutionary traction, comfort and control.

ADVANCED TRACTION

Pro/SLX will introduce a game-changing new traction design called the PWR TRAX System. It features a molded 3D X-Wing that is engaged by swing forces to redistribute energy to the perimeter of the golf shoe, inspired by the wide base found in race cars to maximise perimeter stability and traction. The Race Trak Outsole with radial disc traction harnesses and extends into the ground to increase the overall traction footprint. Multiple traction elements target specific on-course conditions and around-the-course walking needs.

ADVANCED COMFORT

FJ’s StratoFoam midsole offers exceptional comfort and is specifically tuned to absorb and return energy with every step. Around the ankle is a 3D Molded Collar that locks the foot in place for supreme comfort and a reliable, consistent fit.

ADVANCED CONTROL

The 3D X-Wing provides increased stability as you swing and engage with the ground. An FTF+ foam surrounds the StratoFoam midsole for a stable platform when swinging. An exposed heel stabiliser and side wall TPU wrap help to control lateral and upper movement.

Like its predecessors, Pro/SLX golf shoes are sure to be popular at every level of the game, including on the professional Tours. They have already been worn in practice and in play by the likes of Sungjae Im, Corey Connors, Daniel Hillier and many more.

“What FootJoy have done with that extra support around the ankle has definitely made the shoe feel very stable. The comfort levels of the Pro/SLX are amazing – better than the previous iteration which is great as it combines comfort with durability and stability providing everything you want from a golf shoe.”

“I really like the style also, it has a slightly wider base which is going to help with the traction element. I am very reluctant to ever go back to my previous shoe model now as these are so good,” says Daniel Hillier, 2023 British Master champion.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Premium ChromoSkin
  • Engineered cushioning and support thanks to an FTF+ midsole with Stratofoam top layer.

FootJoy – Celebrating 100 Years of history as the leading golf footwear brand

June 7, 2023 – FootJoy, the #1Shoe and Glove in golf, is celebrating 100 years of performance and design innovation – a proud history and heritage that is unmatched within the golf industry.

While extremely proud of its history, the brand continues to set the standard for golf-specific performance technology with a style and energy that appeals to golfers of all ages.

Although the brand’s early origins can be traced back to 1857 when Frederick Packard broke away from his father’s boot workshop to start making shoes of his own, it was 1923 when Packard and Harvard graduate Perley Flint set the Foot-Joy brand on its way.

Flint had a passion for golf and had been tinkering with golf shoe designs for many years, tweaking the construction and styling while fine-tuning fit and comfort.

A major breakthrough came in 1927 when a sales rep convinced Walter Hagen to kit out the US Ryder Cup team in FJ shoes. After the successful matches against GB&I in Worcester, Massachusetts one player – Johnny Farrell liked the shoes so much he went on to wear them at the 1928 US Open where he defeated Bobby Jones in a 36-hole play-off.

The reputation for FJ’s superior performance continued to grow and it became the #1 Shoe on the PGA Tour in 1945 – a position it has held every year until this day.

The business was eventually bought by Bill and Dick Tarlow who, in 1957, decided to focus solely on making golf shoes.

Gloves were introduced in 1979 and FootJoy apparel entered the market in 2012. StaSof has been the #1 Glove on Tour since 1983 while FootJoy outerwear is the choice of more PGA Tour players than any other brand.

Footwear franchises such as Classics, DryJoys, DNA, Pro|SL and Premiere Series have continued to dominate the worldwide professional tours while being the overwhelming shoes of choice for club golfers.

FootJoy’s focus has remained on golf- specific technology to help maximise traction, stability and comfort while offering styles for all tastes.

The introduction of Premiere Series and FJ Traditions was a huge hit for golfers looking for a classic style with modern performance benefits. Those in favour of an athletic look were treated to models such as FJ Fuel, Flex and HyperFlex.

With millions of new golfers taking up the sport, FootJoy has widened its appeal through collaborations with fashion icons such as Jon Buscemi, Todd Snyder and Garrett Leight.

Staying true to the roots of the game the brand has also worked with Harris Tweed Hebrides ahead of the last two Open Championships to create limited edition shoes worn by the likes of Cameron Smith, Will Zalatoris, Max Homa and Cameron Young.

Engaging with dedicated golfers remains pivotal to the brand’s strategy with investments in shoe-fitting technology forming part of activations at The Open Camping village at the 151st Open in St Andrews and also Royal Liverpool in 2023.

“Our rich history and heritage is something that really sets us apart and is something we are all extremely proud of. But we are always looking forwards to see how we can better meet the needs of dedicated golfers and our retail partners,” says Russell Lawes, FJ Brand Director.

We will continue to make the best golf shoes, gloves and apparel to help all golfers play and look their best while supporting our partners to help them bring these products to life with next-level marketing assets and support. We’re humbled by our past but incredibly excited about our, and golf’s, future.”

To mark the 100-year anniversary FootJoy will be launching a limited edition red, white and blue Premiere Series Wilcox shoe which will be worn by FJ ambassadors at the US Open at Los Angeles Country Club. The shoe will be available online and through selected retailers from June 15th.
