    Just watched the latest review on the FootJoy Pro SLX, and wow, it's quite the breakdown. The detailed analysis on every tweak made to the shoe, especially around comfort and stability, really makes you want to give them a go. I was initially skeptical about the major redesign, but the explanation behind the new features and how they're supposed to work won me over after watching the video. The performance tests on wet and slippery conditions matter a lot to me, as I often play in such weather. The look of the new model is definitely polarizing; I'm still on the fence about it. But at the end of the day, performance is what counts. Thanks for sharing such an in-depth review, it really helps in making an informed decision!

    I’ve worn Footjoy for years mostly Dryjoys absolutely love those that said with these new Footjoy shoes. I find them bigger in size than they used to be. I wear a 12 medium I almost need an 11 or 11 1/2 because they are so much bigger I don’t know what their doing but they really need to get a hold of their sizing problems!

    I love the old ones sooo comfy. The new ones look good I think, just not sure about the high bit on the back it look likes it comes up too high but I will try them on when I see a pair and make my mind up then, Great review thanks

    Great review Kevin once again. Like your polo shirt care to provide details please. Also new firmware has been released for the shotscope x5 watch which shows course layout. Shoes a bit pricey

    Hate the look of these. Not as bad as the FJ Fuel, but the old pro SL’s were CLEAN.

    • @GolfGuyReviews
      @GolfGuyReviews  3 месяца назад

      These are certainly a lot thicker than the Fuel, and I think the looks will be more divisive 👍 thanks for watching and commenting Lex 👍

    Old shoe, at least on my feet, never lasted long with the sole coming adrift at the front in less than a season not once but twice. So I would be wary of buying Footjoy again

    • @GolfGuyReviews
      @GolfGuyReviews  3 месяца назад

      Strange that you had it happen twice in the same way, I’ve not had similar issues, but I don’t get a chance to wear shoes out these days 🤣

    The central flat sections are rock hard and will go bald in a month, making these shoes a major slip hazard on that hard blue plasticky ring.

    • @GolfGuyReviews
      @GolfGuyReviews  3 месяца назад

      Thanks for watching and commenting. I don’t think the TPU will go bald unless you’re walking on A LOT of concrete, like everyday sneakers

      @@GolfGuyReviews The white parts? They’re already broad and flat with teeny tiny grooves which are more there to show whether they’re brand new than offer any traction. Around here when you go to golf there is a lot of parking lot and sidewalk/cartpath to walk just to get to the range section, putting green, or clubhouse. It eats up spikeless shoes quick.
      They should have put a few blown rubber elements around the TPU outsole just for rain slick floor safety. Saucony had to do this with their crystal rubber running outsoles. The new material felt awesome on dry road and gripped floors like crazy, but as soon as it got wet it would slip like a banana peel.

    • @GolfGuyReviews
      @GolfGuyReviews  3 месяца назад

      Ooooooh, the central white parts are just exposed FTF+ foam, not tpu. The blue parts of the outsole are tpu, the green parts at the front and pack are rubber, and the white are just foam, which sits well below the tpu and rubber 👍

    These are clogs. They are stable but they are freaking huge and makes you almost 2 inches taller which now changes the angle and posture to the golf swing

    • @GolfGuyReviews

    Looks ugly sadly since they are the only spikeless in 4e that you can get here(if they still offers that).

    The SLX outsole is soooo ugly. The shoe looks bulky and chunky.
