FootJoy Premiere Packard Review | It Was Time To Upgrade

'

FootJoy has enjoyed 165 years of history and success since the founding of the Massachusetts based company in 1857. A leader in shoes worn on the PGA Tour since 1945, the quality of the products that FJ offers is unsurpassed. Amongst United States consumers, FootJoy is also the number 1 seller of golf shoes, and gloves. Besides shoes and gloves, FootJoy also shirts, shorts, socks, caps, umbrellas, many other apparel items and golf accesories. A history of innovation and marketing has pushed the company forward whether that be one of the first to offer left and right shoes, the cabretta leather glove, or being at the forefront of television marketing, FootJoy’s acclaim is well deserved.

After a recent look at my golf shoes collection, I realized my traditional white FootJoy DryJoy Icons that I purchased back in 2013 was showing every bit of their 9 years of age. I purchased this shoe on my first official golf trip that landed me in Myrtle Beach, SC that I took with my brother. Every golf season I will lace this shoe up several times as I love the look of the classic styling, and the stability that the shoes offered during the golf swing. Although I respect the fact that the shoes are still functional and wearable, they no longer fit the upgraded remainder of my golf outfits.

I again turned to FootJoy to deliver a stunning shoe that would meet the needs that I had for the look of a traditional shoe while also having quality construction. In the Premiere Series of shoes from FootJoy there are 5 models: The Packard, Flint, Tarlow, Spring, & Field to choose from in the traditional styles. The are several colorways to pick from, or for some additional cash you can customize your own. With spiked, and spikeless options available, your imagination is the only limit that you will encounter.

Upon wearing the shoes on the driving range, and a round the following day, the same comfort, stability, and style was there as expected. These shoes are definitely a looker, and received several compliments on the shoes. With 77 years of PGA Tour pros cosigning the reputation of FootJoy while they have their careers on the line, the average golfer has no choice but to be convinced of their class. In his comeback season in 2022, Tiger Woods has been donning the FootJoy’s from the Premiere Series…If the G.O.A.T. is onboard, who am I to question it? The FootJoy Premiere Tarlow retails for $199.99 from FootJoy.com.
