We have players such as Vijay Singh , Zach Johnson, and even Adam Scott wearing these shoes to victory. DryJoys comes in a number of different styles and patterns, from this bicycle toe sports saddle pattern in a variety of colors, to a more contemporary TPU saddle pattern. Again this comes in a variety of different colors as well. To our newest pattern, Sirperfed speed saddle with a modified shield tip toe design. To our more conservative traditional saddle pattern, which has our iconic saddle pattern that's been around since 1989, but has now been infused with the stability pods technology.

DryJoys - Features
DryJoys - 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. DryJoys was launched in 1989, and they quickly became known as the waterproof shoe in golf. Over the years we've had many iterations. In 2008-2009 we're coming to market with four different patterns and fifteen total styles in our DryJoys range. The new DryJoys have phenomenal technology story, and this is based in the stability pods outsole. Here you'll see seven strategically placed stability pods. These are made of TPU, thermoplastic urethane. Very durable, very strong. They're going to provide incredible stability under foot. The blue area you see running through is the OptiFlex. Same TPU material, but a softer durometer. What that's going to do is allow for maximum flexibility in and around the stability pods. Both of these working in conjunction provide what were calling flextability, which is maximum flexibility which provides golf specific stability.
DryJoys - Inside
DryJoys - Inside: Inside the shoe we've got full leather linings. Again, that gives you a custom fit, forms to your foot, and it gives you a no slip fit which is very important in a golf shoe. In addition, we've contoured the bottom of the last to enable us to increase the thickness of the fit-bed inside, so your going to get supreme underfoot cushioning from the fit-bed provided in the DryJoys product. On this particular style, we've got a TPU that runs up along the saddle. This is integrated into the lacing system to provide a little bit more midfoot support and motion control throughout the golf swing.
DryJoys - Shoe Care Tips
DryJoys - 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.
DryJoys - Shoe Sizing Tips
DryJoys - 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.
