FJ VersaLuxe – Spikeless Goes High-End

FootJoy, which I’m all but obligated to tell you is the #1 Shoe in Golf, has just launched its new VersaLuxe™. The spikeless shoe, which the company calls the embodiment of versatility, adding that it’s loaded with high-end luxurious materials and details, appears to be quite fancy, which is, I suppose, exactly what makes this offering interesting.

Spikeless and Premium Seldom Mix

Certainly there have been some reasonably high-end spikeless shoes over the last few years. Nike’s Lunar Clayton springs to mind, and of course there’s the stuff from Royal Albartross, but as a general rule spikeless means mid-tier at best.

That’s not the case with the VersaLuxe.

So what you’re saying is that it’s a really nice shoe?

Typing all of this up makes me want to pour a glass of well-aged scotch, light up a Cohiba, and maybe sit on something crafted from luxurious leathers.

The reality is I’m going to pop a couple of Aleve and try and get half-a-night’s sleep on my garbage pile of a sagging mattress (thanks Sealy), but I suppose that’s neither here nor there, is it.

Getting back to the finer things, here’s a quick rundown of all the bits of fancy that makes the VersaLuxe desirable.

• Premium super soft SuppleLuxe waterproof leather by Pittards of England
• Suede inner-heel pocket, no slip comfort fit
• Full leather linings for mold-to-feet custom fit
• Genuine cork-covered soft, ultra-comfortable fit-bed
• Versatile spikeless outsole
• New Lane last features a rounded toe character, full fit across the forefoot allows toes to spread and grip.
• Contrasting and Tonal lace options included
• 2 year waterproof warranty

Folks, this is as premium as mass-market spikeless gets.
