FootJoy launches new HyperFlex shoes

FootJoy has unveiled the latest version of its HperFlex golf shoes, taking its athletic performance offering to new heights.

Technolgy in the new shoes (RRP £170) is led by StratoFOAM cushioning, which delivers comfort and support tuned for golf. Meanwhile, the midsole provides a blend of cushioning and energy return to reduce fatigue. The proprietary TruFIT System also provides easy-on flexibility and wraparound heel support for a locked-in, secure fit.

The OptiFlex outsole design promotes stability with strategically placed angles of traction. LP Pulsar cleats and additional traction elements are used to target omni-directional swing forces throughout the golf swing.

A new outsole PowerPlate transfers energy to the ground to maximise speed, resisting any twisting through the golf swing, and the TPU Saddle harnesses any top of foot movement and transfers it back into the ground.

For those looking for even more stability and comfort, the HyperFlex Carbon shoe (RRP £200) features a moulded carbon fibre power plate that delivers tour-level performance.

Since its launch, the new HyperFlex shoe has been worn by players including Justin Thomas, Corey Connors and Haotong Li.

“I’ve worn a classic shoe for pretty much my entire career – Classics, Icon, Premiere, etc – but I had to make a switch when I tried this HyperFlex,” said Justin. “This shoe is perfect – super comfortable and flexible in the right areas, but also gives me all the support I need to make a strong, confident move on the ball.”
