t
here's
nothing
like
a
comfortable
new
pair
of
golf
shoes
to
help
you
walk
your
way
around
the
course,
and
the
lineup
of
releases
for
2017
feature
more
than
a
hand-
ful
of
options
for
feet.
"There's
always
lots
of
innovation
within
the
golf
shoe
companies,"
said
Diane
Dahlitz,
shoe
expert
at
the
Roger
Dunn
Golf
Shops
Superstore
in
Santa
Ana,
Calif.
"And
this
year,
there's
also
lots
of
new
aesthetics
and
im-
provements
in
style.
If
your
style
is
more
ath-
letic,
Nike
and
adidas
have
put
out
some
great
options,
and
FootJoy
is
a
really
solid
choice
if
your
style
tends
to
be
more
traditional.
Either
way,
it's
a
good
time
to
buy
shoes.
Worldwide
Golf
Shops
has
an
extensive
range
of
products
and
companies,
which
means
you
can
always
find
something
you
like."
If
you're
in
the
market
for
new
shoes,
Dahlitz
recommends
paying
close
attention
to
comfort,
advising
that
after
playing
18
holes,
it's
going
to
matter
more
that
your
feet
feel
good
than
if
your
shoes
look
good.

footJoy contour fit
comfort is key
w
hen FootJoy innovators designed the new
Contour Fit, comfort was key – and it's easy
to tell that their efforts paid off. The insole, which
was comfortable in past editions to begin with, is
now thicker and extra deep, allowing it to better
align with the natural shape of the foot.
"The Contour Fit is a really good shoe overall,"
said Dahlitz. "FootJoy has improved the foam on
the bottom of this shoe so it's softer than ever to
play and walk on. They've also incorporated an
Achilles pad to ensure ultimate protection on the
back of the heel."
Though the shoe is more comfortable, FootJoy
made sure that it didn't come at the cost of sup-
port, and describes this shoe as having uncom-
promising lateral support and stability. Dahlitz
says golfers who like a more modern approach
will also appreciate the new style of the Contour-
FIT, which has a sleeker, more athletic look.
