Men's Contour Series - Features: Hi, I'm Mike Foley, director of footwear marketing for FootJoy. I've been here at FootJoy for about eight years, started on the glove team. Spent the last six years working with the product development team developing our extensive shoe line. Contour series. Incredibly successful category for FootJoy. Has tremendous out of the box comfort. The best feature about this shoe is that it's been constructed like a running shoe in that it's Slip Lasted inside. What this means is that we don't have what's called a Last Board inside the shoe. A Lasting Board gives you that rigidity and stability you need in some of the higher level elite shoes for those players with higher swing speeds. The absence of that allows for incredible flexibility with a Contour shoe. People who walk a lot of holes, people who maybe have problem feet, this shoe is the go-to shoe for them because it's incredibly comfortable. Soft full grain leather uppers, EVA fit-bed, again soft and cushioning The out sole is EVA midsole with a TPU midfoot stability bridge, a flex area across the forefoot. And Pulsar cleats as well as other traction elements to give you utmost ground control and traction.
Men's Contour Series - Shoe Care Tips
Men's Contour Series - Shoe Care Tips: Something important to note is shoe care for your golf shoes. A lot of people spend a lot of money on golf shoes and it's important to take care of them properly. After every round, the best thing to do is take a little wet towel and non abrasive soap and just go over the shoe, taking care of all the grass that might be stuck within the whelp. Take that all off the shoe, dry it down. Very important is to use Cedar Shoe Trees. Cedar Shoe Trees will be fit right inside the shoe. You can get different sizes to fit your size shoe. It's going to retain the form of the shoe which is very important so the leather is not going to stretch, it's not going to condense, and it will retain the form. Plus the Cedar is going to take a lot of the moisture out of the shoe so it's going to prolong the life of your golf shoe. In addition, check out the outsole, you always want to clean it off as best as you can. Make sure the cleats are tightened. In the event that a leg has sheared, it's important to replace that cleat. Any of your local pro shops will have replacement cleats. To maximize the performance of your shoe it is best to keep all your cleats intact and to keep the shoe as clean and as dry as possible. One other note, it's best not to store your shoes in the trunk of your car. A lot of people do, but those trunks can get very hot over time, what that is going to do is its going to heat up the leather, it's going to make the leather weaker and often times the circumstances will make the leather on the forefoot crack and peel because of those elevated heat conditions inside of your trunk.
Men's Contour Series - Shoe Sizing Tips
Men's Contour Series - Shoe Sizing Tips: Something that is also important to remember is over 80% of people wear the wrong size shoe, whether that's a width or a length. It's important to get the properly sized shoe and to do that it's great to try the shoe on and make sure it fits properly. You want to make sure in the forefoot, if the shoe fits properly; there is not going to be any overhang or stretching in the forefoot area. If it's too narrow, you'll be able to grip some excess leather. A properly fitting shoe fits the shoe perfectly. You want about the width of your thumbnail from the end of your toe to the end of the shoe. That's how much space you want because over the course of the day when you're walking 18 holes especially in warm weather, you're feet are going to swell a little bit so you want to make sure you incorporate enough space for that. You don't want your toe going right to the edge of the shoe.
