Classics Dry Premiere - Features
Classics Dry Premiere - Features: Hi, I'm Mike Foley, Director of Footwear Marketing for FootJoy. I have 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. The flagship product for FootJoy golf shoes is Classics Dry Premiere. These are handcrafted right up the street in Brofton, Massachussetts. This year in 2008-2009, we are going to have 25 styles in the Classics Dry Premiere line. The key features and benefits of this style is the quality of the upper leathers. It is the finest calfskin leather uppers used in this category. The outsole on this category is the fine leather outsole. The key to this outsole is that it is made of a nice leather material as well as a TPU insert on the forefoot and in the heel. One of the benefits to Classics Dry Premiere is the alphasizing we offer. We offer from AAA widths to EEE widths. It's a phenomenal range of sizing options for each consumer. The way this shoe is constructed you can see the stitch that goes all the way around the shoe. The outsole is in fact stitched to the upper of the shoe. That's called the goodyear welt process. No other shoe in our line or in golf specific has this type of construction.
Classics Dry Premiere - Shoe Care Tips
Classics Dry Premiere - 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.
Classics Dry Premiere - Shoe Sizing Tips
Classics Dry Premiere - 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.
