Are you wearing the correct size golf shoes? If not it’s unlikely that you’ll produce your best swing! FootJoy’s unique shoe fitting programme can remedy this.
During the course of a year, FootJoy’s expert fitting and sales representatives visit golfing venues across the country to take golfers through the process of finding the correct size and best-suited FJ shoe model.
FJ has identified that around 70% of golfers are wearing the wrong size shoes and, as such, aims to educate the golfing public on the benefits that come from having the correct fitting shoes. Research at FJ has proven that the wrong size shoes can lead to a loss of up to 28% of the power generated during the swing. The right fit also means that shoes last considerably longer compared to pairs that are too big.
Following a fitting day at York Golf Club, the club’s professional, Mark Rogers, remarked:
“Being a pro-active Club Professional, I regularly have demo or custom fit days and, when I had the opportunity to stage a shoe fitting day, I jumped at the chance as I appreciated this was something my members and customers would enjoy.
“The day itself was a huge success; my customers thoroughly enjoyed their experience and, without exception, expressed their gratitude in how fantastic they found their first FJ shoe fitting. I have been immensely impressed with how professional and organised our FJ Fitting and Sales Representative has been.”
Allowing FJ’s fitters to find the most suitable footwear for every golfer they encounter is the strength of the brand’s industry-leading shoe line, which offers an abundance of performance-driven styles and more sizes and widths than any other manufacturer. FJ shoes are available in sizes ranging from 3 to 16 and widths from extra narrow to extra extra wide.
Further customisation is offered through FJ’s exclusive MyJoys programme, which gives consumers in the UK in the region of 8 million design combinations, including the option of choosing differently sized left and right shoes.
“Golfers are becoming more aware of the benefits of being fitted for all 14 clubs in their bag, but as the only point of contact between themselves and the ground, finding the best-performing shoes for their swing is just as important,” said FJ Marketing Executive, Paul O’Hagan.
