Thanks for watching this video on the FootJoy shoe fitting process.
morning Georgina morning so whereabouts
we heading we are heading over to Kings Barnes we’re going for a FootJoy shoe
fitting and I’m going to take you guys with us looking forward to it
kings Barnes and Jamie off we go i am buzzing hopefully you guys are
too and if you want to see more videos like this make sure you hit that subscribe button i arrived at Kings Barnes and met up with Blair
who was helping me out for the day he was guiding me through the fitting process and making sure we
found the right specs for my golf shoes we started off by stepping onto the fit scanner which gave us
a full analysis of my feet everything from shape to pressure points blair walked me through the
results and explained which fit and specifications would work best based on my fit profile so what
it does show your left foot’s certainly a little bit shorter now what I’ll show you further down
is exactly how short that is um when we kind of progress down through this you don’t need anything
other than a medium fit okay now we do different shoes that might have a little bit more space
in the toe box or something that might like lift your arch up a little bit more which I do
think you definitely need so the shoes you’ve got on right now are Quantum yes that’s great
for that sort of you know more slightly more athletic style the Ortholite um impressions fit
better in there to give you real kind of support underfoot but also as a result you tend to see
this correlation between arch height and instep height so you being higher arch you clearly
slightly higher instep so with the the lacing on these shoes being what you class more as a
U throat just allows your foot to sink in but it almost acts like a tram line over the top of
the the instep so doesn’t put overdue pressure so one being that it’s shorter but certainly
again we’re adding in the fact both heels are particularly narrow so just got to be careful
we give you enough support in that area just to hold you kind of steady in there um and then the
next points as we kind of progress down this is more about volume of foot so if anything pretty
standard in there’s no real concerns on on either if anything the right foot’s just a little bit
shallower be interested to try some shoes and then go from there and see what we can get you in
but certainly quantum off the base of this I would say is a good shoe for you once we had all the
detailed specs sorted it was time to head out onto the range so we’ve just arrived at the range here
at Kings Barnes we’ve got Richie Ramsey down there he’s going to be hitting a few shots hopefully I
can pick up a few tips from him we’re also going to be getting fitted into some FootJoy shoes
now what Fjoy are saying is that everybody goes and gets fitted for golf equipment but very few
people go and get fitted for the golf shoe even though your golf shoes can have a massive impact
on your performance out on the golf course Fjoy are using technology now to scan your foot which
can tell them what type of golf shoe is actually going to be best fitted for you i’m excited to
see if it makes any difference so let’s head over there so we’re here at the range on Kings Barnes
we’ve just been watching Richie hitting some very impressive shots but now it’s my turn
i’m going to hit a few shots we’ve got the Trackman set up and we’re basically going to see
if there’s any difference in my data depending on the shoes that I’m wearing before diving
into testing Blair asked me a few questions what I like or don’t like in a golf shoe and
more generally about my game and how I play so in terms of the shoes that you look at then
would would you would they vary based on you know like how high you might stand over the
ball do you go from like shoes with quite a deep tread on it in terms of the stack height
into shoes like a tradition for example which are very very kind of shallow to the ground
with that i tend to steer away from that kind of style i love how it looks but I don’t always
find those that comfy okay i like something that kind of feels quite like spongy spongy at the
base of it yeah to get a baseline I hit a few shots in my current shoes so we could see how
they performed then we moved on to testing a few different models comparing how each one felt
and performed to figure out what worked best for me so let me then start you with ProSLX so ProSLX
um more of a a kind of tour tour worn spikeless golf shoe now six and a half is what we’ll start
with other sizes are available now the biggest difference for you you’ve got real real amount
of cushioning through the midsole with straoam and then the insole which is massively padded
where you then get a lot of kind of performance benefits is much more stable around the the heel
here area here with this heel stabilizer it’s a bit firmer and a good test of a golf shoe for me
would be that heel and toe test where you give it a little rock back and forth see there’s not
much given that these are a little bit softer than certainly Press SLX would be but be interested
to see how you feel through the the swing with these there we go comfort obviously first is the
first thing you’re always going to look at with shoes what do they feel like in comparison they
just feel sort of firmer which to me feels more restrictive i know that for some players that
might feel like stability but I think because I’m used to playing in trainer style shoes
it is very different sort of straight away just from like that added firmness okay do
you mind if I put you back in your shoes we just kind of then again just alternate
between your shoes and the next pair as well straight i can feel the movement now now that
you told me that I should feel the movement I can feel the movement be worth looking
at for you is getting you these in a six medium maybe a little bit shorter so that
right foot is going to feel touch snugger but I think because you’re a right-handed
golfer everyone’s going through that left side so in theory you’re going to find a bit
more movement in these ones at the minute i genuinely believe with this style of shoe I
think a six for you would be perfect okay um what I’ve got here is actually a six wide so it’s
probably not as good but we can definitely try it i’ll let you try these on i would expect
this maybe to feel a little bit too big but if anything just gives us an understand for
you lengthwise where it work does that feel a little more secure definitely feels more
secure yes even just like setting up there going one on one one on the other go for
it really what the reason I’m doing that is loving this does this now feel like a pair
that does that feels like a pair i need to find a friend that has the exact opposite and
then we can share shoes that feels perfect actually it definitely tests the brain there
looking at the two different shoes doesn’t it it does feel very secure feels like you can kind
of put that six and a half and then six on your left seems to be the best the best option
so with that said I’ll get some feedback from you on the new feel um going to that
that sort of fin spike as well so traction in terms of comes from like Pro SLX design
with the fins um really stable through the the midsole um and a good bit of cushioning
albeit probably not as soft as what you’ve got in your feet at the moment so there’s
a little bit more kind of premium insoles built into it but let’s give you these just
to see what kind of impact it now gives you it’s actually like on the shot actually hitting
the ball i don’t think there’s any problem with it it’s moving around in between do you want to
really try and try and like go after one here okay as you get through the ball it’s more it’s
it’s here that you’re always going to see it is there’s nothing there’s nothing to push space
for you so then your foot’s almost like wobbling around a little bit as you get through the ball
so you’re not building any power and when you’re transferring your weight over it’s kind of just
So if you’re in a fairway bunker your technique could be phenomenal see if your foot can find
movement your strike point your low point all changes so actually that’s where you’re going
to have issues with with footwear mhm um do you want to have a couple of drivers what would the
what would your hope be in terms of driver then like whether it’s distance or sort of club speed
um with the main thing that I’m actually looking for with my driver is just like keeping it in
play i think I I feel like I’m happy with the distance that I get generally I’m happy with the
ball speed i don’t hit it mega mega far by any stretch but I’m happy with the distance that I get
and I can play with that um it’s more just kind of the control of it that’s the thing like I say have
a few just nice and relaxed and then you can start going after it and all I’m really looking for
is to see what you feel with your feet obviously so obviously for you George you’re
not going to see what’s happening with your shoes but see the creasing and
bunching particularly in that lead foot it’s a It’s certainly too long in that
side but it’s also now too wide as well there we go so certainly from a a walking
point of view you’re definitely going to find like blistering and issue with this sort of shoe
yeah from a performance standpoint I think you’re losing a little bit because my foot’s moving
all over the place i don’t feel very like if you get to top of the back swing you want to
almost plant there’s too much happening yeah I know it’s we’re talking fractions but that’s
what’s going to that’s what all after isn’t it so um for me the best combination if we could do it
would be six in the left six and a half in the right but not wide okay so in conclusion what are
the shoes that we’re saying are best for me these are Foot Joy Quantum without a doubt so you’ve
come in you’ve looked for more cushioning a bit more versatility with the spiteless sole unit um
very very soft underfoot with the soft foam here and then you’ve got the Foot Joy impressions
midsole so that to me is the perfect fit for you Georgia perfect thank you so finishing up
