FootJoy Fuel PRO/SLX Golf Shoes Design & Features

The PRO/SLX golf shoes are designed with a new PWR TRAX System, a revolutionary traction technology that maximizes stability and grip with every swing, regardless of the lie.

This system is key to the design of the spikeless shoes and provides no-slip grip for the stability through every swing and in a variety of conditions.

The PWR TRAX works in tandem with the Race Trak Outsole and Radial Disc Traction Technology to engage specific traction elements, ensuring a no-slip experience during the most critical moments of the swing.

The shoes feature premium ChromoSkin leather uppers, which provide not only superior durability and waterproofing but also a soft, comfortable fit that adapts to the player’s foot over time.

Comfort is further enhanced by the StratoFoam midsole, uniquely tuned for golf to absorb shock and return energy and reducing fatigue on the course.

The addition of the 3D X-Wing technology and an exposed heel stabilizer reinforces stability throughout the swing.

The shoes are available in a standard lace-up model with colour combinations of Navy/White/Grey, White/Grey, White/Navy/Blue and Black/White/Grey.

The PRO/SLX Carbon shoes are sold in White/Black/Multi and Black, while the Boa model is available in White/Grey only.

The Carbon shoes feature a unique molded carbon fibre plate on the sole for additional traction compared to the standard model.

The Li2 BOA Fit System offers a micro-adjustable, precision fit disc at the back of the shoe to tighten the BOA lacing system to your own personal requirements.

FootJoy PRO/SLX golf shoes Review: Are they any good?

The PRO/SLX stands out by offering an unparalleled combination of performance features, most notably from the innovative traction system that seriously impresses.

Many time wearing spikeless shoes, you aren’t quite sure if you will get the grip that spiked versions offer. But the new advanced design of the PWR TRAX System sets a new benchmark for performance.

The new release is incredibly stable through every swing, even in slightly damper conditions after a rain shower or in some morning dew.

Comfort isn’t compromised at the expense of performance though, with FootJoy’s technologies combing to make these incredibly reactive to both your foot shape and course terrain to ensure you feel as fresh at the end of the round as you did on the first tee.
