The leather has a lovely grainy look on the front of the shoe and the sides have a pitted circle look that I think looks very good, but I wonder how easy it will be to keep the circles looking clean in the long term given the muddy nature of certain courses. The upper was supple yet was still able to provide the walking and lateral support through the swing that you need and would expect from this type of shoe. It was very easy to break in and most people could easily wear these shoes out of the box. The ChromoSkin upper is made from a lovely soft Pittards leather than has been tanned in such as way that it is waterproof without requiring the use of a membrane, which makes it more breathable too. The clean classic lines and almost understated design are visually appealing and the use of 5 different accent colours in a gloss finish on the heel to compliment the all white and all black models provide that modern touch. However I think with the DNA that FootJoy have managed this very well indeed. It is hard for golf shoe companies to create a shoe that combines cutting edge technologies that build on the advancements in materials and athletic performance with something that looks more like a shoe than a football boot. The DNA name stands for 'DryJoys Next Advancement' and FootJoy has lived up to the name in creating a state of the art premium golf shoe and I have had a pair for the last month to evaluate and here is the low down.įirst off is how it looks. If you have been following our equipment news you will have seen the gradual unveiling of the FootJoy 2014 golf shoe which we can now reveal is the FootJoy DNA.
