FOOTJOY have announced the arrival of the all-new Stratos golf shoes, featuring an ultra-cushioned underfoot ride, enhanced traction and super-soft leather uppers, something the company says delivers the next level of performance and all-day comfort.
“The cushioning compound is called StratoFoam, a proprietary foam blend that provides optimal support and comfort for conditions specific to golf, including swinging, walking and everything in between,” FootJoy said a statement.
“StratoFoam is the perfect blend of cushioning, made up of a proprietary EVA/Polyolefin mixture, providing cloud-like comfort, while absorbing and returning the most energy which results in less foot fatigue after a round of golf.”
The VersaTrax+ outsole is designed to provide maximum traction and features a revolutionary anti-channeling tread pattern, engineered to provide total traction coverage and reduce slippage.
The outsole configuration utilises multiple Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) compounds for grip – a harder TPU for on-course grip and a softer TPU for traction on harder surfaces.
Using a non-channelled design, it allows the shoe to find the next traction element to catch onto the ground.
The VersaTrax+ outsole then delivers a combination of uncompromising on-course traction with genuine off-course versatility.
The FJ Stratos innovation package results in Tour-level on-course performance and was named a top-rated, best-in-class shoe in Cornell University’s recent turf grass/green friendliness testing.
FJ Stratos uses a soft, premium leather upper from Pittards of England, utilising a proprietary tanning process to achieve a supple feel.
It features an athletic-fit construction with an integrated tongue for all-around comfort and a reinforced heel for greater rear foot stability.
The laced FJ Stratos shoe comes with a suggested retail price of RM1,005 (men) and RM909.50 (women).
