FootJoy Women's Links Shoes Review
Katie Dawkins tests the FootJoy Women's Links shoes on the course to assess the level of comfort and performance on offer for lady golfers
FootJoy is really starting to flex its muscles in less traditional looking golf footwear with the Links being the latest example. The styling is such thay they wouldn’t look out of place away from the course and they perform on it too, especially in terms of comfort and grip.

Us women like our footwear to have multiple uses and these new Links shoes wouldn’t look out of place in a Summer wardrobe paired with denim shorts for a day out. I love the color choice of the White and Hunter green, it feels fresh, energising and at home on the fairways although it's a little bit of a shame that the only other choices are all white or black.
The Links I tested are fast becoming a favourite "off the golf course" shoe. Overtaking the Adidas Adicross, which I ranked highly among the best women's spikeless golf shoes.
The leather is extremely supple, high quality and looks the business. It’s very easy to clean making them look like new after every outing. Having tested these in dry and hot and as well as in very wet conditions, my feet remained dry and comfortable. The traction the sole gives is surprisingly efficient. Not quite at the level of the FootJoy Pro SL but I didn’t feel myself lose my footing as I swung on what were slippery fairways. Even when the grass became slick due to all that dry weather and burnt out ground conditions these shoes never faltered.
When it comes to comfort my feet were singing wearing these. The shoes boast FootJoy’s lightweight PU footbed which really cushions the heel give a happy bounce to my step. These can handle hard baked golf courses and still my feet remained comfortable and stayed at a steady temperature.
My only complaint, and it's a tiny one, was the laces had a habit of coming undone if I didn't tie them in a double knot. This really was a minor detail and easily fixed when a double knot was tied. It definitely wouldn't put me off and I'd have multiple pairs if the colours were a bit more adventurous. I have a feeling this will be one of the best FootJoy golf shoes for women in years to come because of how comfortable and versatile it is.
I’d wear these out especially if there was a lot of walking or standing involved. Paired with jeans they really look smart and I've had plenty of compliments and questions on the make and model. Plus these are FootJoys, so they're built to last. In summary, this is a shoe that performs on and off the golf course equally brilliantly. I think you'll really enjoy the experience if you make the modest investment.
