High-Tech Comfortable Golf Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Footjoy's New HyperFlex BOA Shoes Focus on Performance

— January 25, 2021 — Lifestyle
Footjoy introduces a new pair of the HyperFlex BOA golf shoes that fuses elements of performance and comfort in one silhouette. The construction spotlights innovative materials, made to last long using the BOA Fit System that initiates the WRAPID shape.

This wraps itself in a form fit around the foot of the wearer and configures a personal stability without compromising any elasticity. The Form TX gives the shoe low friction and encloses easily without the need of traditional shoe laces. The foundation sees the Optiflex sole unit and the BOA-powered upper, which helps with the pliability around the toe. To offer even more support, there is the StratoFoam cushioning system added to assist with comfort and energy return.
