I Want to Wear My FootJoy Terrain Golf Shoes All the Time!

Lori Leidig
For some reasons I can not now recall, I decided to take up golfing several years ago. Since Golf involves being on your feet for quite awhile at a time, I wanted a very good pair of golf shoes. I did my homework. SoftJoy is one of the best, and the Terrain is very good looking. Nearly two-thirds of PGA Tour Professionals wear SoftJoy shoes. That tells me a lot.

Their website even boasts:
In 1927, Field and Flint Company's FootJoy line of golf shoes becomes official shoe for American Ryder Cup team captained by Walter Hagen.

The SoftJoy Terrains have full soft grain leather uppers, with the saddle part being a soft suede. This is a very classy shoe that will just go with everything.Hey, I'm a chick. This is important. I can' be standing around the green all clashing and stuff, now can I?

SoftJoy's line of golf shoes are also remarkably flexible, another important aspect in a golf shoe. Not only do these flex with my foot as I swing, they can actually fold in half with no damage. Not that I would ever keep them folded in my bag, but it is neat to demonstrate. OK yeah, the strangest things do amuse me...

The cleats are the soft-spike quick screw, so if I throw a cleat on the course they will be easy to replace...and since they are soft rather than metal, they do not tear up the paths at the course. The replacement cleats are $9.99 per full set.

These go everywhere right now for $79.99, but I got mine on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods for $59.99. Great deal! They also have a one year waterproof warranty, 90 day quality warranty, and a 30 day comfort warranty. Wow.

The inside of the Terrains feel like it's a built-in gel sole it's so comfortable. The stitching is excellent to boot. I've worn these 3 years now and I want to wear them all the time! If only I could get regular shoes this comfortable... In addition to the inside comfort, the fabric is such that it keeps your foot dry.. it just seems to whisk dampness away from your foot.

Recommend? You bet! I cannot now imagine ever buying any other brand of golf shoe in the future. I'm sold on SoftJoy for life! Comfy and stylin' .. that's what I'm talkin' about!
