FootJoy has been one of the most popular golf shoe brands in the world for decades. With the Premiere Series, the manufacturer is focusing on a clear concept: classically designed leather shoes with Spikes soles and modern features - for golfers who don't want to compromise on looks or performance.
Despite different colorways and some model-specific details, all five shoes share a common technical foundation. All models are made from waterproof premium full-grain leather - breathable, dimensionally stable and designed to last. FootJoy offers a 1-year waterproof guarantee on all Premiere Series models.
All models have a spike sole with replaceable Softspikes and multidirectional traction elements for secure grip from any swing angle. The specific sole technology used differs depending on the model - more on this in the individual descriptions. All five models are equipped with the OrthoLite® EcoPlush FitBed® - an insole that, according to the manufacturer, retains its shape over the entire service life of the shoe and noticeably reduces fatigue when walking. The insole is removable in all models.
A firm shell in the heel area provides support and stability in the swing. The fit is designed for comfort - with a rounded forefoot for natural toe movement and a slightly narrower heel for a secure fit.

The two models in white/black and white/pink are technically identical - the only difference is the color scheme. The most striking visual feature is the removable kiltie: a leather strap over the lacing that gives the shoe its traditional character and can be easily removed if required - for a slimmer, more modern look. If you appreciate the classic golf shoe look, leave it on; if you prefer a cleaner look, take it off. Both models are equipped with the VersaTrax+ outsole.
The black model is the purist of the women's versions - and stands out from the others in two details: The upper is complemented by calfskin accents, while the inner lining is made of soft sheepskin. Both give the shoe a noticeably high-quality feel. This model does not feature a kiltie. Outsole: VersaTrax+.
The white/navy model is the latest in this selection - and the most technically advanced. Instead of VersaTrax+, the latest generation ARCTrax outsole is used here. This is joined by a Premiere EVA midsole for performance-oriented cushioning and the OrthoLite TruFit system with a molded tongue for a particularly stable, pressure point-free fit. The full-grain leather also comes with a fine pebble structure - a beautiful detail that gives the shoe a slightly different finish to the other models in the range.
The only men's model in this overview bears the model name Packard and is based on classic FJ models. Made from premium full-grain leather with calfskin details, it impresses with its meticulous workmanship and elegant appearance. The Laser Street last shape ensures a narrower, classic profile - cut slightly differently to the women's models, but just as consistently focused on style and function. Outsole: VersaTrax+, cushioning: OrthoLite EcoPlush Fit-Bed®.
The Premiere Series appeals to golfers who are looking for a classically designed leather shoe with contemporary features. Three of the five models are currently available at reduced prices - a good entry point into the series. Those who prefer the latest technology will find it in the white/navy model, which represents the latest development stage of the series with its ARCTrax sole and extended cushioning system.
