Customer Reviews FootJoy Premiere Series - Packard Golf Shoes- Previous Season

Well made shoe although not up to the level of the classic or icon products of the past. I like the traditional styling and pebble grain finish. I like that the footbed inserts are removable because I don't like the cheap footbed supplied and put better ones in. The laces are the worst. Broke one in the first 30 days. It's very stable for a light weight shoe and the sole design seems to provide decent grip. It seems to me that footjoy has abandoned the top end of the market and is now building down to a price point rather than building a true premium shoe for the admittedly smaller segment willing to pay more for their best.

The shoes are very comfortable. I also need an extra wide shoe which F/J has in this shoe. Very happy customer.

I ordered these for my husband's birthday gift. He wore them 4 days in a row playing at Bandon Dunes which is a no cart coarse so non stop walking in moist conditions. It even sprinkled one day. He was the only one out of his group to have dry shoes every day. The quality is amazing and I don't think he will ever want to wear another brand. #sweepstakes this is a winner

great shoe and very comfortable with great traction. Runs about a half size small. also the tongue is no connected on the sides and so not a good shoe for wet weather.

Nice shoe.

Good fit and feel. Needs more lacing to tighten better.

Look great. but on first wear, walking 18 holes, small blisters on heal.

Great shoe. I ordered from FootJoy as I could not find a Packard 9 or 9.5 Narrow at or online from a retail store. So I ordered a 9 narrow and 9.5 narrow direct from FJ... thinking it would be easy. Nothing came. I called and emailed. Then only the 9 narrow arrived. No order ticket, no return label. I called.... very long hold. FJ finally sent me the 9.5 as the 9 was to small. I was then able to ship back 9 narrow and I just received a refund...which took 5 business days after returns arrived. The moral... great shoe, however manufacturers are terrible at retail.

When I purchased these last year I was hopeful that Foot-Joy would offer a premium brand similar to the traditional Classics. However, when pulling out of the box you can tell just by looking at them they are not the same level of quality. I understand that there might not be a market for traditional Classics anymore but with more people playing golf I would gather there is. If you are looking for a traditional Classic in look and feel, just know that this isn't the shoe. If you don't mind and want what a Dry Joy looks like and that quality, this is your shoe.

I love these shoes, fit is good, they are comfortable and look good. I wear them on and off the course. My only complaint is the leather is not as smooth as I would like. I like to put a good shine on my shoes and these just won't shine up. Mine are black, so I'll probably buy them in white and then the smoothness of the leather won't matter. Footjoy bring back smooth leathers that shine.

Most comfortable golf shoe I've ever used. EVER. Everything is soft, just a perfect golf shoe. #sweepstakes

Comfortable from day one, excellent fit and good value...

Comfortable out of the box. I've purchased five pairs of the Premiere Series. They are lighter than Icons. I'm replacing eight pairs of Icons that were comfortable, performed well and were durable. I prefer a formal/traditional look and a firm, snug fit. Due to sloppy leg movement, I need all the help with stability I can get, which running-shoe styles lack. Some of the Premiere Series are available in narrow width which is ideal for me. I'm concerned about the durability based on others' reviews. I play five rounds per week (walk and ride) and practice for hours. Therefore, shoes are critical for me. I rest shoes for days, clean after use and always use cedar shoe trees.

Used with very minor flexing issues. Usually have a period of break-in, not with this shoe. Also, the insole is perfect. The flexibility is great allowing me to use right out of the box. Excellent. Many thanks to all who designed and made the shoe.

Great looking shoe. It's a little wide in the heel for my foot, so slightly loose and maybe runs a tad large. Plenty comfortable though.

This is a great golf shoe. Very comfy in my first round and sharp looking.

They're comfortable, I played 18 right of the box. They were a little stiff as to be expected and the right shoe feels larger in the heel. They are lighter than they look which for me is a good thing. Looking forward to seeing how they hold up I play a lot of golf.

This is my second packard and I love the looks and the feel. But, I've notice that the bottom of the sole (in the front tip of the foot - dark blue) is already detaching from the mid sole (white). I have it for a few months only and haven't played much... perhaps its me, but perhaps you guys should take a look at it...

I bought two pairs of these golf shoes. They are constructedvery well and are comfortable on my problematic feet. I highly recommend these golf shoes. I use one pair for golf and the other for walking around my yard doing yard work. I like the stability the shoe gives me. DKW

I bought these shoes for my husband. He likes them. They are taking awhile breaking in. Every time he wears them they are more comfortable.

Great shoes!

These shoes are comfortable, light, and great looking. They also have great stability.

Very little cushioning and moderate support. More like a dress shoe and less like a supportive sneaker.

Great look and lot of compliments but not a lot of cushioning. More like a dress shoe design less like a supportive sneaker.
