New FJ Freestyle Shoes: Free Movement Plus Traction 12:00, 26/01/2016

Called Freestyle ($190 standard, $210 Boa), the new FJ shoe is a result of testing that indicates that while some players benefit from traditionally structured shoes, a lot of others are able to create more power with a shoe design that allows more freedom of movement through the swing without sacrificing overall traction.

"FreeStyle is arguably FootJoy's most imaginative and distinctive shoe ever and will particularly help golfers who would benefit from increased freedom of movement when swinging the golf club," said Doug Robinson, FJ Vice President of Design and Development Worldwide. "By drawing inspiration from a tree frog and emulating their incredible grip and flexibility properties in the texture and functional elements of an outsole, our design and development team has created something truly unique in the golf shoe market."
