Adidas Tour360 22 vs FootJoy Tour Alpha Golf Shoe: Read our head to head verdict

Golf shoes are arguably some of the most under appreciated bits of equipment you can own. Think about it, shoes are one of the only pieces of equipment you use for every shot during a round - so it's vital you get the right pair. Two brands that produce the best golf shoes on the market are adidas and FootJoy, with the company's premium models ranking as some of the most comfortable golf shoes that money can buy, as well as being some of the most breathable golf shoes too.

For 2022, adidas released the adidas Tour360 22 shoe . Having introduced the world to the Tour360 range almost 20 years ago, the German brand has updated this year's model by going back to its original designs, analysing what made them work and implementing those ideas into the new model. Has it worked? Well, five stars out of five in our review certainly answers that!

FootJoy on the other hand is arguably the most recognised brand when it comes to golf shoes, with the company occupying a range of areas, producing some of the best budget golf shoes and best spiked golf shoes that money can buy. For this comparison piece, we are specifically looking at the Tour Alpha golf shoe which, like the Tour360, has a five star rating.

Although both received top marks in our review, what are the significant differences between the two and which one is better suited to your game? Here, we take a look. 

Both models are stunning looking shoes and offer a range of colorways that will match any outfit out on the course. In our reviews, we ranked both as some of the most stylish and modern looking shoes on the market.

Starting with the Tour360s, the 2022 model has a few design touches that make them look slightly different to past models. We were big fans of the older Tour360s because of the classic look and three-stripe design. However, with the new model, adidas has found a way of incorporating some modern flourishes that really stand out. 

We tested the white, blue and orange model and were very impressed with the small splashes of color that give a totally unique style. Importantly though, adidas has not gone too far with the design, which features in five colorways. As well as the colors, there are multiple different models with even more adaptability available, making these some of the best adidas golf shoes on the market.

It's a similar story with the Tour Alpha as the shoe is on point from a visual aspect. During our test, we thought there was lots going on at the rear of the shoe, with extra depth at the back creating more cushioning for extra comfort. There are also more cleats positioned to the perimeter of the outsole, with the pods that house them sticking out slightly. However, this is not enough to distract you or put you off wearing them. 

Having looked at the shoe from the outside, we now move to the inside, with both pairs providing unbelievable fit and comfort. Arguably, comfort is the most important factor when it comes to a golf shoe and no-one wants their feet to ache after, or even during, a round of golf. 

Both have innovative technology that is designed to give you the most comfort during your game, with adidas featuring an array of elements like 'Feet You Wear Last', which was first introduced in 1996. The idea is that it mimics the natural shape of the foot and accommodates movement in all directions, even throughout the golf swing. 

Along with the 'Feet You Wear Last,' it also has a 'Dualstack Midsole' which, although you can't see it, helps support your forefoot and the arch of the foot. Finally, there is a 'Geofit Collar Pad' in the top of the shoe, as well as an 'Insite Sockliner' to the rear. Both are specifically designed to conform to your foot, giving you a more personalized and comfortable fit which we really noticed during testing.

FootJoy has also introduced technology to provide comfort, with a snug fit really encapsulating the foot evenly without pinching in any areas. On testing, we felt completely locked in, almost like the shoe was an extension of our foot. This meant it set us up perfectly for powerful swings with control.

The reason for this incredible amount of comfort is due to an 'Ortholite Impressions FitBed' that molds to the shape of your foot. It also provides support and stability through a 'Proprietary TruFit System and Dual-Durometer FTF+ Foam midsole', something that we noticed straight away upon testing.

So, after top marks in the looks and comfort department, how did the shoes perform out on the course? The answer, very well! Both provided ample grip and remained in pristine condition, making them very durable. Both rank amongst the best spiked golf shoes on the market. This is thanks to them having smartly designed cleat patterns on the sole that maximise grip in even the wettest conditions.

Starting with the FootJoy's, when you pick them up for the first time, you can straight away tell that they are packed full of technology. Noticeably, they feel surprisingly light for a performance cleated shoe but, more importantly, the connection with the ground is very strong. Much of this comes down to the clever design of the outsole, with nine cleats scattered around the edge and lots of quite sharp smaller nubs in between, getting down into the ground with ease.

The FootJoy Tour Alpha Shoe in action

In testing, it gave us confidence and the ability to swing full tilt in the knowledge that our feet would stay locked in position. Another impressive aspect is that the heel feels cupped which certainly seemed to help us manage aggressive weight transfer in the downswing. In fact, anyone that requires more support from their shoe will really enjoy and benefit from the structure that the Tour Alpha is able to provide.

With the Tour360s, we tried the shoes out in dry, damp and wet conditions and overall there was a good amount of grip. The grip comes from cleats that are directly injected into the base of the shoe which means you won't ever have to worry about losing them. This is an extremely clever design touch and, combined with a variety of spikes and traction elements, it really gripped us into the ground. 

The sole of the adidas tour360 22 golf shoe

The last section surrounds whether the shoes are waterproof or not. Certainly it's a factor that is very important. How many times have you been playing in what you thought were waterproof shoes to find out your socks are soaked through?

Although these may not rank on our best waterproof golf shoes list, they are certainly very good performers, with both demonstrating waterproof qualities whilst out on the golf course.

Adidas has provided a premium rich leather in their Tour360, which is 100 percent waterproof, plus you get a one-year waterproof warranty as well which provides peace of mind. What's more, the company has also incorporated recycled materials into the design to continue the brand's goal of ending plastic waste. 

During testing of the FootJoy's, we found the waterproof protection kept our feet bone dry during testing, even in damp conditions. Like the adidas', the Tour Alphas also feature a one-year warranty, with a ChromoSkin providing the protection.

Choose the adidas Tour360 22 if… - You are looking for a shoe that offers a unique style - You want a shoe that matches an array of different outfits and styles - You are after a shoe that provides superb grip in wet and windy conditions

Choose the FootJoy Tour Alpha if... - You want a shoe that gives a snug fit and protection - You are after a shoe that is more lightweight than its competitors - You are wanting a shoe that means you can give 100% commitment to each shot

adidas Tour360 22 BOA Review

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into  Most Wanted Tests  or  Buyer’s Guides .  You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

What We Tried

adidas Tour360 22 BOA —the BOA (not for suckers) version of adidas’ 2022 flagship golf shoe.

Your Tour360 22 BOA Tester

Tony Covey. A chubby-footed BOA enthusiast who believes laces are for suckers and is super excited to finally get his hands or, I suppose, feet, on a pair of adidas golf shoes. It’s been a while.

adidas Tour360 22 Shoe Review

The adidas Tour360 22 was tested as part of our 2022 Buyer’s Guide. It was a strong performer (as we’ve come to expect from adidas) but the unusual spike design caused some confusion.

Spiked shoe? Spikeless? We had to use our “phone a friend.”

Spiked shoe. Final answer, Regis.

As far as your tech goes, the adidas Tour360 22 is fully loaded (as much as shoe can be). You get Boost foam, an INSITE sock liner and traction provided by massive SPIKEMORE cleats. My assumption is SPIKEMORE is the really big brother of the GRIPMORE which was an otherwise awesome and super comfortable adidas shoe with a single fatal design flaw.

Micro-Adjustable BOA Fit System

I’m not sure if you’re aware but there are actually a few different flavors of BOA. The Tour360 22 uses the micro-adjustable version of the system which is a more fine-tunable version of the BOA dial. It works in both directions so you can tighten in small increments or just crank it hard. Likewise, you can loosen in small increments by clicking in the opposite direction. You can also just pop it up to loosen everything in a hurry.

For the BOA uninitiated, let me give you a quick pros and cons list.

• BOA is awesome.
• Allows for super-quick tightening and loosening of your shoes
• Nobody ever tripped over a BOA.
• Lifetime warranty
• Not for suckers
• BOA adds to cost of the shoe: adidas gets a $40 premium. That’s on the high side with most others charging $30.
• Limited colorways: adidas offers only two options (white and black) in BOA compared to seven in the laced version (Boo, adidas. Boo).
• Not always available in wide sides, though I can say the same about laced (AKA: sucker) versions

How the shoes fit my slightly wide foot will be the focus of this review.

Slipping them on

Let’s start with the part where I sound like a cranky old bastard who doesn’t know how modern shoes work. The adidas Tour360 22 features the kind of design that strives to make it as difficult as possible to actually get your foot in the shoe which strikes me as an important aspect of wearing a shoe. Seriously, you might need some lube.

This isn’t strictly an adidas thing. PUMA does it too sometimes. We’re talking about a shoe that’s basically tongue-less with minimal give so don’t expect you’re just going to slip it on.

For what it’s worth, the opening loosens a bit after a few uses and I probably need to be more open to new ways of doing things.

As noted, the Tour360 22 BOA isn’t available in wide sizes, and while that’s not ideal, sometimes BOA versions fit wider so I was optimistic they’d work their way into my rotation, especially since I’m short on white shoes these days.

My Golf Shoe Theories

Before we get into the meaty part of this adidas Tour360 22 BOA review, I want to share a couple of my theories on golf shoes.

Theory 1 : Golf shoes should be comfortable out of the box.

This is the internet so I know somebody is going to argue with me, so let me be clear. I’m not saying that it’s impossible to break in a new pair of shoes but, with about 2,000 options on the market, you should probably be able to find a pair that fits so well you don’t need to.

That said, I also understand that sometimes we like things so much that it’s worth taking a risk.

With the adidas Tour360 22 BOA , I initially experienced some minor discomfort in the heel but not so much that metaphorical alarm bells went off. Besides, the first time I wore them on the course, I had another pair of shoes in the bag just in case.

That’s a pro tip right there. If you’re wearing new golf shoes for the first time, unless you’re SUPREMELY confident in the comfort, throw a trusted pair in your bag.

I tested a pair of shoes without a backup pair once. Played the last four holes barefoot. Let that be a lesson to all of us.

Theory 2 : I don’t care how smart you think you are; you don’t know anything about your golf shoes until you walk up a hill.

It doesn’t even have to be a big hill. The putting green at my home course sits above the parking lot. Over the years, that short uphill walk has become a reliable predictor of whether my feet will bleed.

That barefoot incident. The hill told me. I didn’t listen.

On Course with the Tour360 22 BOA

After wedging my slightly wide foot in the smaller-than-I’d-like opening, I experienced for the first time what adidas calls the locked-in feel. At face value, it’s kind of a silly description. It’s not like your shoes are ever not locked in and just come flying off during your swing, but with the Tour360 22, it’s definitely different. It’s hard to explain but it’s like the shoe is more connected … one with your foot … that sort of thing.

The Boost foam is comfortable, the SPIKEMORE traction is excellent and BOA is just better .

On the negative side, I did feel a little pinch in both heels like the heel cup wasn’t hitting me exactly where it needed to. Still locked in but slightly off kilter.

That made me a little nervous about the fit but the hill said I’d be OK … and I trust the hill.

The First (and Second) Nines

Sure enough, I made it through nine holes unscathed. Pace of play was good and I kept the ball (mostly) in front of me. There was some mild discomfort but I left the course with all my skin intact. I went home with a sense of pride. “I got me some adidas I can actually wear on the golf course and, with the BOA, I’m not out here like some kind of sucker.”

The second time out didn’t go quite as well. Through no fault of my own, I suffered through a long and meandering nine. I still kept the ball in front of me but the pace was ungodly slow (three hours for nine holes) and found myself doing that thing where you bang your toe into the ground to force your foot away from a rubbing heel cup. Full disclosure: I have no idea if that kind of thing actually works but the point is that I was uncomfortable. I Made it through nine skin intact. Another hole or two, probably not.

adidas Tour360 22 BOA – Takeaway

So where does that leave us?

I like the shoe. I like the way it wraps around my foot and, for the first few holes, before the cumulative effect of whatever is going on with heel cup flares up, it’s really comfortable with great traction. There is no part of me that believes it isn’t an excellent shoe but the fit isn’t perfect for me.

Sometimes that can be hard to accept.

Bear in mind that I’m a legitimate wide-foot guy (I’ve been measured). I’m not extra wide, just solidly chubby-footed, which I believe puts me right on the edge of whom the adidas Tour360 22 BOA will fit well.

It’s unlike me (I’m usually a black and white, either it fits or it doesn’t, kind of guy) but I like the shoe enough that I’m going to try the “break them in” thing. I’m still hoping there’s a chance so I’ll wear them nine at a time until they’re either good to go or I’m willing to accept they won’t ever be.

Fingers crossed.

The ripple in all of this is that BOA and laced systems will often fit differently and this might be a case where the laced version fits better. But, like I said, with my wide foot, I’m right on the edge of being comfortable, so if you’ve got a normal-to-narrow foot and are looking for a shoe loaded with tech (and the option to not be a sucker), you and the adidas Tour360 22 BOA might get on brilliantly.

I’m saying there’s a chance.

Wearing some old Boost360 BOA’s @2017? right now. I have slightly wide feet and these always felt large. Now in cool temps, I pulled them out for wet weather and double socks. I LOVE them now! Comfortable and I walk a hilly course….just needed double socks with this pair. Every year is different and had a pair that got me in the heel too. So, variable. Not a fan on non replacable cleats though.

This comment isn’t so much about boa, because I like boa. Adidas has an issue in the heel. It just gets worse over time. I switched mid round the last time and haven’t worn them since. Puma and footjoy are good for comfort and skechers aren’t bad either. Problem with the boa is, you can’t find many styles and color schemes with it.

I walk 18 holes 5 days a week & at 220 pounds (6’2″) my feet take plenty abuse. Buy some comfortable running shoes, Like the On Trail Running shoes, save $100 over the Adidas and the On’s are so comfortable….I no longer have aching feet! Plus you can where them away from the course

These shoes look like someone tore the cute little puppy dog faces off a pair of puppy dog house shoes. I can assure you that if you are over the age of 3, you aren’t going to look very good wearing these shoes.

Trusty rusty

I’m 50/50 on boa having had it golf shoes, bike shoes, fishing boots and winter-related boots. It does the job and as we all agree convenient. However, i have back to lace in my golf shoes. There is an awful lot of BS brands out there that appeal to our logo-driven society rather than fit and performance. Take one look at the detailing of better shoes versus what People buy because it has a swoosh, pull the blinders off people. Adidas is the only brand that I will wear because of the last (shape of the foot they work with to balance fit and performance) out-of-the-box comfort.

As soon as you mentioned “non-replaceable” spikes, I’m out. Seriously, $250 & after a couple years I throw them away?

Are the spikes on these replaceable? I presume not based on their design, which is a bit of a tough pill to swallow considering the price.

10 months ago

I totally agree about the spikes! I opted for the Adidas CodeChaos 22 instead. Great shoe

Not a fan of BOA. Could never really tighten to my satisfaction. I play a very hilly course. Uphill, downhill and side hill. I had to always retighten every few holes. I’ll stick to laces. Look better also. IMHO.

Rene Norton

John B knows me from the golf store where I was the footwear specialist for 5 years in Minnesota. Having said that I have my opinions and a few suggestions. My first suggestion is to buy a shoehorn for the sock-type golf shoe. It’ll go on easier and you won’t chance an uncomfortable fold in the lining. When the first 360 BOA hit the market, the wires ran between the arch and sole of the shoe. While that BOA helped to keep the foot sunk into the shoe, many found a slippage in the heal (and the lining would wear out). Most golfers liked the feel, though. FootJoy on the other hand ran the BOA wires around the heel to prevent slippage of the heel, yet some complained the heel didn’t fit right as if the wires needed to be higher instead of in the middle of the heel. Your article addressed this problem (I think that’s what you meant). We ask which is better? Around the heel or around the arch? I have no idea, that would depend upon the individual. My second suggestion is a good 3-layer golf sock to help prevent heel slippage and also carry a second pair of shoes! Overall, I like BOA’s (and similar designs) much better than laces because the BOA does and will keep your foot quieter in the shoe. My third suggestion is if the shoe doesn’t feel good out of the box, don’t buy it.

I’m a huge fan of BOA–in fact I’m still using two pair of 4-5 year old FJ Freestyle BOA’s–of course I have changed the soft spikes several times. Of course I have changed the footbeds several times, but that’s the “cost” of comfort. A word to the wise shopper–check what “laces” the boa uses. My FJ’s are some sort of wire cable that will probably never wear out as opposed to the recent buttery soft ECCO’s I acquired which have some type of cloth/fiber pulls which potentially could wear or break, although they have a “lifetime guarantee”, I’m not sure where it would be honored or activated. My second piece of advice, equally as important is try the shoes on–be sure you can easily/comfortably turn the boa disc(s) securely. I have found the heel location best as on my old FJ’s–I am sure I could not easily reach or tighten the boa adequately on left side/left foot being a right hander. Even the top front left shoe location of the ECCO boa ( also similar location on many others ) is a slight struggle and less convenient than heel location.

If you do have problems with your Ecco shoes you may return them to Ecco or the store where you purchased them. https://us.ecco.com/service-pages/returns-and-exchanges/ https://us.ecco.com/service-pages/returns-and-exchanges/returns-form.html

I too have wide feet. I really like the idea of the BOA setup on golf shoes. I finally bought the Puma AlphaCat early last month. I struggled to fit my fat foot into the shoe, until I bought a small shoe horn. Now my foot slides right in. Love the new Puma’s. All day walking comfort with no hotspots.

Doug Hansen

I had a pair of 360’s years ago, before getting my knees replaced. They fit me great, hugged my midsole like custom shoes but were so glued to the ground that they made my knees grind.

Now that I have new knees (10+ years now/still going strong) I might give these a shot. But I need a version with replaceable spikes.

I have had my adidas tour 360 22 boa for 2 months and play golf 3 times a week . The non replaceable spikes are starting to fall apart and have contacted adidas to return the shoes. Other than the above these are very comfortable shoes

Just picked up the Payntr shoes for my wide feet. The most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn. Right out of the box onto the golf course. Pricey at $190 but well worth it.

The BOA system is no good for me. Why is there a need to replace shoelaces? No need to reinvent the wheel and the look is horrible.

BOA looks super convenient just like velcro shoes, but I just can’t do it they are flat-out fulgy.

If Adidas is going to charge $250, the spikes should be replaceable.

Spike don’t look replaceable, hate to throw away shoes when the spike wear out.

Tom Higgins

I discovered a product called Lock Laces a few years ago. Now put them on all my golf shoes.

they work to keep laces from coming untied (got mine at a running shoe store) but to tighten or readjust your shoes, they just add one more step in terms of accessing the laces.

Rolly Junio

Thanks for the review! I’m also have slightly wide feet and always wonder how the BOA would work getting on my foot. I don’t like not being able to slide my foot in and out easily for any of my shoes.

These are flat out the ugliest friggin golf shoes I have ever laid eyes on. You would think for $250 they could come up with something a little more aesthetically pleasing. Won’t be on my “must have” list this year. To each his/her own I guess.

I purchased the Adidas S2G Boa shoes and they are prefect for me with a little wider foot but not extra wide. They are a much better fit than the regular 360 which is a little thought, and 360 wide which is too big. If you are between a normal and wide foot, these shoes are great especially with the BOA system, and the BOA is on the top of the tongue vs the side which is awkward. I hope I’ll never have to go back to laces again.

More importantly to me is the shoes are not in narrow for size 14. BOA Puma don’t tighten enough. Only shoes so far that actually seems to have a 14 narrow are Foot Joys, if you do MyJoys. And the selections very limited.

Andrew the Great!

I bought a pair of Footjoy BOA golf shoes (HyperFlex) in January 2020 at the start of a long golf weekend with my BIL at Kiawah Island.

I absolutely love BOA, and I don’t even have the one that goes in both directions. Shoes are easy peasy on, easy peasy off, and tightening them is, well, easy peasy. What’s also nice is mid-round, when a shoe needs to be snugged a bit, you don’t have to undo then redo the bow knot of your laces. You just click-click-click in a nanosecond, and you’re all set.

My click wheel is on the heel of each shoe, and it cranks what appears to be monofilament where traditional laces would be. So it looks better than those ugly Adidas shoes at the top of the article, IMO.

BOA is great, IMO.

Richard Delmont

I have become a fan of Adidas shoes. Game both the Tour360 XT and XT SL laced versions. The non-replaceable spikes might steer me away from the 22s.. I too have a wide foot. Never really found a good BOA fit. and sometimes it’s hard to find a good wide fit. That being said would love to see a MGS best wide fit shoe review.

Stephen Gotkin

Do they come in Left Handed? No joke! Mizuno made Shoes for Left Handed golfers in the 90’s/ The spike are the wrong way on most shoes and used to spin out or not have quite the same traction as for righty’s.

Wayne Wallace

Micro adjustable I assume similar to road bike Boas, easily accessible and if you can tighten the left foot Boa by turning counter-clockwise it’s a winner / if not, it’s not for me. The appearance of the shoe reminds me of my Grand Papa’s slippers..

This review is spot on… it for another adidas shoes. Every single word is true for me and the white code chaos mid top with boa. Very difficult to get your foot into which like toney said I guess “locks you in” but I thought that heel thing was just me. I have a pair of grey low top chaos with laces that are the most comfortable shoes in my lineup which includes the foot joy premieres. I can only walk 9 holes max in the white pair and in the greys could easily do the 18. Not sure if it’s the mid top or the boa or a combo of them both but either way something is off with the heel cup in those models. Walkers beware!

I was always worried the system would break, like a shoe lace, but with this system you could not simply replace the lace. But, I see they now offer some type of lifetime warranty? Also, I would only buy these from a retail shop to try on first.

How long will the spikes last?

If they are not replaceable that would make for a very expensive pair of shoes if I can only wear them for less than one season.

I play both types spikes (in wet weather mostly) and spikeless and I replace the spikes once per year on average.

I am in the exact same boat, slightly wider foot in certain shoes just don’t fit. I have always been very disappointed by the lack of wide sizes in golf shoes..

That being said, I do love the BOA system, I just wished they offered it ona bigger variety Of shoes

CHICK HERNANDEZ

I enjoyed the honesty of the review. So often it’s just BS put up there to sell the shoe. I’m a wide footed guy who whenever possible go for the extra wide shoe, especially since I tend to walk on the outsides of my feet. Guess this isn’t the shoe for me

Jacob McCain

Any idea when we’ll see the XT-SL version of these? I have the original XT-SL Boas in white and black as well as the ZG21 in spiked. Now if they’d just do Codechaos BOA in something other than that stupid basketball high top!

It’s extremely frustrating Adidas has done away with the wide sizing for the Tour line. Had bought the last two versions of the Adidas Tours in wides because they were the only wides that would fit without making it feel like my foot was drowning in too much space. Had hoped the laced or this BOA was going to get some at least limited wide sizing.

FootJoy Tour Alpha Golf Shoe Review

Golf shoes come in all shapes in sizes these days, however every avid golfer needs that pair of shoes. The pair that you rely upon most when the going gets tough. Whether it's tricky conditions, a comp that you really care about, a match with some cash on the line - you need the best performance possible from your kicks. The FootJoy Tour Alpha promises to be just that shoe for 2022.

I tested this new performance offering from FootJoy in wet, wintery conditions over two rounds of golf. I played at both Stockport Golf Club and the Marriot Worsley in Manchester.

The rain was well an truly pouring during testing on both occasions, not great for my golf game but great for testing golf shoes that promised in a lot in different departments.

The main 'buzz term' that FootJoy are using with the Tour Alpha shoes is 'Power Reimagined' . In a golf-tech-jargon kind of way, this means that the Tour Alpha is engineered from the ground up to deliver stability and outstanding performance. From the outset it's clear that these elements were the number one priority for FJ's R&D team when creating this shoe.

They are claiming to have achieved this through innovations in a number of different areas.

The ultimate in traction is said to be achieved through molded traction elements and Pulsar LP cleats by Softspikes that will FootJoy claim offers "unparalleled traction and stability in every playing condition and on every playing surface."

A new OPS system (which stands for Optimised Performance Stabiliser), made up of the external 3D molded heel counter, A-Frame and the lateral clip are there to lock the golfer in allowing you to swing hard and fast without any worries.

The Tour Alpha is also said to offer a balance of cushioning and stability in the right areas through a TruFit System and Dual-Durometer FTF+ Foam midsole .

As you'd expect from a premium FootJoy shoe, the upper feature ChromoSkinTM leather which is a supple, lightweight, durable and (thankfully during my testing) 100% waterproof.

Last but certainly not least in the footwear department, comfort is said to be delivered through a Golfalot favourite - the OrthoLite ImpressionsTM FitBed which provides immediate step-in comfort and cleverly molds to the shape of your foot over time for truly custom comfort.

If you're really into your tech and you're a fan of BOA also, then you're in luck with the Tour Alpha it also comes available in both BOA and Double BOA.

I think that's enough footwear technology for one review, let's get into what I really thought.

The Tour Alpha looks as exactly as you'd expect it to. It's standard, modern-day FJ - it's inoffensive and looks like a golf shoe should in 2022. It's modern, sporty, techy, contemporary, sleek but in my opinion a little safe in it's overall design. Like I said it's very FootJoy.

To me it just screams Kevin Kisner, Rafa Cabrera Bello and Webb Simpson, that type of golfer...

In comparison to other FootJoy shoes in this 'performance' department in recent years: it looks much better than the FootJoy Fury, , it's similar to the FootJoy Tour-S but in my opinion not quite as smart as FootJoy Tour-X from 2021.

There’s lots going on visually in the heel of the shoe but when you’re wearing them, from above - the toe area looked clean and sleek. This was despite the slight annoyance of pods that hold the softspikes sticking out on the sides. Don't be put off here however - if anything it's good piece of mind that your getting that extra stability.

The Tour Alpha it will hit the mark with plenty of golfers, but I wouldn't say people are going to love it aesthetically, they're not the shoe to either make or break an outfit in my opinion.

Throughout both of my tests of the Tour Alpha - comfort was never an issue for me. The leather upper was supple and hugged the top of my foot without every being an issue.

As I first discovered in my review of the FootJoy Fury golf shoes (which I thought looked terrible but were some of the comfiest shoes I've ever worn), the OrthoLite Impressions FitBed is really something to behold in a golf shoe. Similar to Boost foam in the Adidas Tour 360 22 golf shoes the OrthoLite Insole is just super-comfy over 18 holes underneath the foot.

If I was to give the FJ Tour Alpha one criticism in the comfort department, it would be that the traction plate on the bottom of the shoe is very hard. When combined with the many cleats and lugs, I felt that when walking on harder surfaces ate times, was almost wearing a pair of football boots. This may just be because at Marriot Worsley a lot of the course paths there are tarmacked, so this was exaggerated during my testing. If your course is similar, it's certainly something to look out for.

Performance

As usual with FootJoy shoes of this kind, anything that you could find to dislike visually, the chances are it will be outweighed by the performance.

This is a shoe that really scores high in the performance department. Every aspect of the shoe has been built for stability, traction, security and comfort in all the right areas. The build quality is extremely high and you can see that when first pulling the shoes out of the box - they feel solid and trustworthy. The exact opposite of my golf game.

During the golf swing, you really have nothing to fear on multiple types of terrain - and trust me I found them. I had a great connection with the turf thanks to the Tour Alpha therefore I had confidence that swinging hard would not leave me losing my footing.

On the downswing in particular, the OPS heel design no doubt kept me locked in. I couldn't help think that Bryson DeChambeau and his heel-swivelling-antics could benefit from a pair of Tour Alpha's. If you're looking for more support in this area, look no further - you'll find it here.

The Tour Alpha's outsole design is one of the best I have tested in my time at Golfalot. FootJoy haven't left a stone unturned and your golf game will benefit from that.

FootJoy Tour Alpha Golf Shoe Verdict

At first glance, I feared this was just another highly priced, tech-packed FootJoy shoe to add to the list. After testing, particularly in the tough conditions that I was doing so in, I was very impressed.

Yes visually they're not going to change the world, and you may not look like the coolest kid on the course, but you'll give yourself every chance of playing like him. On top of that, your feet will be comfy and in the rain - dry too.

The Tour Alpha is without doubt another great golf shoe from market leaders FootJoy.

Who Are They Aimed At?

The avid-golfer. The trooper - the one who's playing in all conditions. The hard and fast swinger - the one who's knocking it out there over 290 yards. The substance over style golfer. If Scottie Scheffler wore FJ, I reckon his funky footwork could do with a pair of FootJoy Tour Alpha kicks.

Would I Use Them?

Yes, I'd play golf in the FootJoy Tour Alpha again, without a doubt. I think if I had the choice of colourway again though I'd go for black as these are the short or performance shoe I would wear in the winter months.

adidas Tour360 24 Golf Shoe Review

T o me, there are only two golf shoe franchises worth talking about as true icons. The FootJoy Pro/SL - which has seen a 2024 updated in the form of the new Pro/SLX - and the adidas Tour360. adidas' flagship performance golf shoe is approaching its 20th anniversary, a show of stunning longevity like no other golf shoes, and its latest version, the Tour360 24, has benefitted from a complete redesign from the inside out, introducing new technology into the familiar, well loved silhouette. After spending some time chatting with the Adidas team at the shoe's global launch in early January and now having played in some dry and wet conditions over the last six weeks testing the new shoe, I'm happy to report adidas' Tour360 24 has taken the 19 year old franchise another leap forward for spiked golf shoe design. 

As I've already mentioned, this shoe has benefitted from a total redesign from the inside out. Despite the pleasingly familiar looks, lots has changed as part of the Tour360 24 in an attempt to make it one of the best golf shoes for a huge variety of golfers. When I spoke with the developers of Tour360 24, they were happy to acknowledge some of the aspects of Tour360 22 needed some work, despite its success. The old spikes moulded into the outsole, while offering more grip, weren't replaceable and the materials used in the heel area also needed some tweaking. adidas listened closely to the feedback from the generation, with the fit, performance and durability key areas of focus when it came to building this shoe as one of the best spiked golf shoes in its class. 

I'll start with the biggest and best improvement in my eyes - new 'T-Shape' suede microfiber heel. This new design is a three-piece construction combining a soft, anti abrasive sandwiched textile, running from the inside heel to the top of the collar. This is a significantly softer material than we saw in Tour360 22 and I could immediately feel the difference. Those who may have had blistering or wear issues with previous Tour360 models can now wear with confidence and, for me, its the best upgrade to the shoe. I deliberately wore some low ankle socks during my first two rounds in the Tour360 to see how this material would feel and I experienced no rubbing and no soreness after walking 36 holes - adidas' work here has really paid off. Not only does this reconstructed heel offer loads of comfort, but it'll be longer lasting too in an area of wear and tear all of the best golf shoes will succumb to. 

One of the most unique design elements of Tour360 24 you may have noticed is the area adidas has dubbed the Torsion Bridge. This area, highlighted in green in the hero colorway I tested, sits across the mid foot and forefoot and is designed to improve stability as golfers load and unload power through the golf swing. For Tour360 24, it has been made more rigid through the top plate and more flexible in the bottom plate. During the rounds I played, I could really feel the bridge area working through the swing, offering a confidence inspiring sensation that allowed me to feel like I was really unloading my full power through the swing. When combined with the 360Wrap - the extended materials coming from the three stripe logo - there is a superb sensation of support surrounding your entire foot through the swing. 

I'll be honest in saying adidas isn't the first golf shoe brand you think of when it comes to out and out comfort. Often its the best Ecco shoes or best FootJoy shoes  that come to mind for this purpose. However, immediately after slipping on the new shoe there was a real sense of premium comfort. I think it was mainly a mixture of the new suede heel area, the softness of the leather used in the upper and the sheer quality of the fit surrounding my whole foot that instantly made me very at home in the shoe. The insole has been reshaped from the last generation and I could instantly feel more arch support and heel support which certainly added to the levels on comfort when combined with the rest of the shoe. While the Under Armour Drive Pro - another excellent spiked golf shoe to have been released this year - had a similarly excellent fit, the feel was nowhere near as premium or soft as the Tour 360 24, which is a nod to adidas' quality construction as one of the most comfortable shoes I've tested. 

Further adding to comfort, but also bolstering performance, is adidas' midsole technology - Lightstrike and Jet Boost. I used Lightstrike for the first time in last year's ZG23 golf shoe and this year adidas has combined that with Jet Boost to create a more all-rounded midsole. While Lightstrike has been used in the forefoot, Jet Boost, which is slightly more energy returning, has been used in the heel - creating what the brand hoped was the ideal blend of cushioning and stability. It has certainly come to fruition and the shoe offers firm support where you need it through the swing, but good levels of softness that you need when you're walking. Some golf shoes I've tested have offered great support but little walking comfort with some model offering superb walking comfort, but aren't supportive enough and leave my foot rolls around in the shoe during the swing. Neither are ideal and so adidas' solution on Tour360 24 has struck the right balance in my opinion. 

The outsole is another area adidas has given a lot of thought to, and it has really paid off when you're out on the course. The outsole has been given an extra 7th spike - one more than the six on the adidas ZG23 and Tour360 22 - that has been positioned in the toe area with the aim to allow better toe-off performance through the swing and improve the power a player can harness from the ground. While that's hard to precisely quantify on the golf course, I can report the grip and security through the foot is second to none. 

The secondary traction is also greatly improved over the last generation with new flex grooves that offer superb grip working in tandem with the seven spikes. The outsole has also been given a gloss finish, a clever detail I loved as it stops the outsole clogging with dirt as easily. Such is the premium nature of the leather used the upper, it will need some looking after to keep it in its best form. I struggle to see this is a real negative, as the materials brilliant, but its worth noting that the Tour360 24 will need a decent amount of taking care of to keep in good condition. After a few rounds, I noticed I'd need to be making sure I use shoe horns when I'm storing them and making sure to give them a good clean to make sure mud didn't become trapped in the creased areas. This really is a very minor point, but one I thought would be worth making to understand what Tour360 24 is like to use day to day. 

Overall Tour360 24 is everything golfer's want and need from a golf shoe, with a premium look, feel and attention to detail that allows me to confidently say this is one  the best golf shoes I've ever tested in my three years doing this job. The holistic approach adidas has gone into to create this shoe has paid dividends and clearly no stone has been left unturned in the design and execution. The development team has clearly thought carefully about every moment a golfer spends with a golf shoe and have created a model that is a joy to use day to day. When I'm not testing other golf shoes, the Tour360 24 will be my absolute go-to shoe for this season and I'm incredibly excited to spend the season in them. 

Tour360 24 will be available from February 29th, with a standard laced and BOA option available in both men's and women's styles. It arrives with an RRP of £160/$220.

FootJoy Tour Alpha Golf Shoe Review

50 Words or Less

The FootJoy Tour Alpha is built for stability, and it delivers.  Great support and cushioning.

Introduction

If you track the golf shoe market, you’ve noticed a trend toward “do anything, go anywhere” shoes.  Those shoes are great for a casual nine or a quick range session.  But when you need to hit the fairway on #18, you want a shoe built for one thing: stability.  The FootJoy Tour Alpha is that shoe.

If you asked me to draw a high tech, top of the line FootJoy golf shoe, I would draw the Tour Alpha.  Looking down, they deliver the clean, classic look you expect from FootJoy.  From every other angle, you see sharp modern lines done with a high level of restraint.  As is their habit, FootJoy has infused a dash of color to pique visual interest in otherwise staid color schemes.

The laced FootJoy Tour Alpha is available in three colorways : white, black, and white/grey (shown).  With the BOA Closure, it’s offered in grey and white/grey with neon green accents.  Finally, the Dual BOA closure is available in only white/grey, but it’s slightly different than the laced version.

Sliding into the FootJoy Tour Alpha for the first time, I equated them to a firm handshake .  They’re not trying to squeeze the life out of you, but they want their presence known a bit.  Despite their athletic look, the Tour Alpha is a leather shoe, so it is likely to get a bit more supple with wear.

As I wore them more, I found that the Tour Alpha sets a definite boundary around your foot .  Within those limits, your foot has ample room to move.  Notably, I found the toe box to be more spacious than expected.  However, those boundaries are hard limits with a lot of structure and support.

Underfoot, FootJoy employs an OrthoLite EcoPlush Fit-Bed for cushioning.  The advantage of OrthoLite is that it does not “set,” so the cushioning remains the same round after round .  Meeker made particular note of how comfortable the cushioning is, and I enjoyed its “just right” firmness.

In terms of sizing, I found the Tour Alpha to fit well in my normal size 13.  Matt Meeker found a slightly better fit in a 9 compared to his usual 9.5.  This could be due to FootJoy’s use of the Laser Plus Last which is slightly roomier , especially through the toe .

Performance

Stability is the focus of the FootJoy Tour Alpha, and it absolutely delivers there.  The replaceable spikes are set wide to create a powerful, secure foundation for your swing .  For traction and anchoring to the ground, there may be shoes that equal the Tour Alpha, but I can’t think of one that surpasses it.

Of course, the sole is only the first part of creating a stable shoe.  If your foot isn’t secured inside the shoe, all the traction in the world doesn’t matter.  FootJoy keeps your foot locked in with a fitted, 3D molded heel and lateral stability elements.  In all the swings I took in the Tour Alpha, I never once slipped, got “outside” my feet, or even thought about my footwork .  These shoes 100% deliver on their claims of stability.

For all their virtues, it should be noted that the Tour Alpha is not for everyone.  The heel of these shoes is fairly tall – the norm for FootJoy – so those seeking “natural motion” shoes may be uncomfortable.  Also, the sole is very rigid .  If you’re coming from a more mobile shoe, you might feel fatigue or discomfort until you adapt.

As noted earlier, the FootJoy Tour Alpha comes in three different closure systems .  Matt Meeker and I tested the conventional laced version ($189).  There is also a lace-free BOA Closure ($219) with the dial on heel.  Finally, there is a Dual Boa version ($249) with one dial on the heel and another on the outside of the foot.

The FootJoy Tour Alpha is not the shoe you’re going to wear to the grocery store; it’s the shoe you’re going to wear to bomb it down every fairway without fear.  If you put a premium on stability and traction, look no further.  The Tour Alpha should be your go to for 2022.

When will this shoe be available?

It’s on FootJoy’s website right now.

Maybe this is what you were getting at, Matt, but geez, the soles of these shoes look so thick that my feet are a good inch — or more from the ground. Seems like they are 180 degree difference from the TRUEs that you always loved.

Had been wearing Ecco shoes for a few seasons and wanted to go back to a more stable shoe. Bought the single BOA version and love them. Comfortable and stable for the entire round. Feel like I have a much more solid ground connection. No need for custom insole, feels great all day.

I got a pair of these and I love them. Very comfortable and the soles give my feet the support I need

How can I get one –size (6.5 wide) or (6.0 wide). You make it always starting from SIZE 7.0.

Loved these shoes but I say a durability issue after 4 rounds the side of my shoes are blowing out.

Worst shoe of the footjoy range I’ve worn sore heels toes

These shoes are also uncomfortably heavy. Great fit just much heavier than any shoe I have previously worn

FootJoy released a new TV spot titled “Joy Ride” today featuring PGA Tour star Max Homa flying through the air after teeing off in a pair of FootJoy ’s Pro/SLX golf shoes . 

The Pro/SLX and Pro/SLX Carbon collections come in 13 new colorways for men and women, generally sticking to neutral shades like white, gray or black with minimal pops of blue or yellow. The shoe range was designed with three things in mind as a sporting shoe: traction, control and comfort on and off the golf course. As more and more Americans begin playing golf , and golf shoe sales boom as a result, this drop is meant for players of any level — from beginners to Max Homa.

Max Homa is currently the 10th-ranked player in the world and a six-time winner of the PGA Tour . FootJoy has collaborated with the player for the shoe’s marketing campaign. The campaign also includes players like Davis Riley, Wyndham Clark and Danielle Kang sporting their own Pro/SLX shoes. 

The Pro/SLX collection is available now on footjoy.com, and the spot featuring Max Homa will debut this week during the Valero Texas Open on NBC and The Golf Channel.

Check out best custom Masters gear at Augusta National

A tradition unlike any other, the Masters offers an ideal setting for golf manufacturers – and players – to show off their creative side. When the PGA TOUR heads to Augusta National for the season’s first major, anything and everything is on the table when it comes to custom golf bags, clothing and gear.

There is a plethora of options for inspiration, and some stick to the traditions for stimulation: the Masters green jacket donned by patrons across the property, blooming azaleas lining Amen Corner or the iconic logo, a yellow United States outline with a red flagstick pinned in Georgia. Others go off-piste, thinking outside the box (like Waffle House-themed golf shoes in years past).

Some of the items promoted by the pros at Augusta National are available for purchase, or through company giveaways, while others were made specifically for players or caddies at the event. Take a look below at the best gear seen both at Augusta National and what is available for those watching at home.

TaylorMade traditional staff bags

TaylorMade’s 88th Masters edition staff bag sees a clean and traditional green-and-white color scheme with subtle design notes paying tribute to the ethos of the first major of the year. The company opted for the classic TaylorMade logo on the sides of the bag, while the more modern “T” logo is created with pink azaleas on the front. The handle displays commendation to Amen Corner with gold flags numbered 11 to 13 highlighted with a halo. Across the white sections of the bag, embossed azaleas bring a subtle 3D effect. In contrast, a collection of birth orange peaches lines the bag’s pockets, synonymous with Georgia’s state fruit.

Callaway colorful staff bags

For 2024, Callaway decided on a fully white bag with the traditional Masters green as trim. The bag’s main feature is a floral collage of pink, purple, red and orange azaleas on each side of the bag. The same can be said for the headcovers and putter covers.

Spieth’s standout nametag

The 2015 Masters champion is known for his unique black-and-neon blue AT&T staff bag seen weekly on the PGA TOUR. However, Augusta National allows Jordan Spieth to change things up. This year’s Masters sees Spieth’s familiar caddie Michael Greller carrying a green-and-white version of the bag but with one standout feature. On the front of the bag is a metallic gold, flashy nametag displaying “Jordan Spieth.”

The 15-time PGA TOUR winner debuted a slick pair of custom PLAYERS Championship spikes for TPC Sawgrass earlier in the season.

Gear available for those watching at home

Tp5x pix season opener.

The TaylorMade Pix range for TP5 and TP5x golf balls has offered various versions of logos from supporting college teams to Nelly Korda’s donut-printed design. This year for the Masters, TaylorMade has opted for unique placements of peaches across the golf ball. Each fresh “batch” comes in a textured box similar to the skin of a ripe Georgia peach.

Callaway Chrome Tour Major Series

Similar to the Pix design, Callaway’s Chrome Tour balls are available in a number of different designs. The Masters edition for 2024 has a springtime-inspired flower pattern celebrating the iconic April major championship.

Under Armour Drive Pro LE Golf Shoes “Patron’s Pack”

Look back to the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in February, and between the storms Jordan Spieth was seen with a custom pair of Under Armour Drive Pro golf shoes. Fast forward to April, and Under Armour has released a Masters-themed version of the shoes that both Spieth and Maverick McNealy spent months designing. This version sees white-and-tan mesh with a classic Masters green-and-yellow trim and outsole. The insole features a Masters green checkered pattern with a playful Under Armour-branded pimento cheese logo.

PUMA PHANTOMCAT NITRO “Garden”

The aptly named “Garden” edition of the Puma PHANTOMCAT NITRO features a white leather design with green trim. The green-and-white sole of the golf shoe displays a black azalea with their re-imagined, bright yellow FLEXSPIKE.

(Puma Golf)

COBRA DARKSPEED Season Opener X Driver

While the term “Darkspeed” may contradict the colorful palette synonymous with the Masters, Cobra combines the iconic azalea blooms with the all-black look of DARKSPEED. The sole of the driver shows black-shadowed outlines of the Rhododendron with traditional green-and-yellow trim.
