FAQs

Are these golf shoes suitable for wide feet?

The FootJoy Tour Rival shoes are built on the Flex Last, which offers a generous fit across the forefoot and instep. While they aim for an athletic fit, individuals with significantly wide feet might find other FootJoy models with specific wide-width options more comfortable.

How often should I replace the cleats?

Cleat replacement frequency depends on usage and course conditions. Inspect them regularly; if the grip pattern is worn down or they no longer feel secure, it is time to replace them to maintain optimal traction.

What is the warranty on these shoes?

The FootJoy Tour Rival golf shoes come with a 1-year limited waterproof warranty. This covers defects in materials and workmanship related to waterproofing under normal use.

Can I wear these shoes for walking long distances off the golf course?

While designed for comfort during a round of golf, the EVA midsole and FitBed offer good cushioning. However, they are optimized for walking on golf courses, and prolonged wear for extensive non-golfing activities might be less comfortable than dedicated walking shoes.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a performance synthetic leather, designed to be durable, lightweight, and provide structure for consistent play.

How do I clean mud from the mudguard?

Use a damp cloth or a soft brush to gently remove mud and debris from the mudguard. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap and water solution can be used, followed by rinsing with a clean damp cloth and air drying.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. The Flex Last Fit offers a snug, athletic feel; if discomfort persists, consider an alternative model or professional fitting. Break them in gradually with short walks before a full round.

Traction is reduced on wet surfaces.

Check the condition of the Pulsar LP cleats. If worn down, replace them with new ones. Ensure the DuraMax outsole is clean and free of debris.

Water seeps into the shoes during wet conditions.

While these shoes have a 1-year waterproof warranty, extreme saturation can test any footwear. Ensure laces are tied securely and mudguard is intact. For prolonged heavy rain, consider more specialized waterproof footwear.

Stitching or material appears to be wearing prematurely.

The wrap-around mudguard is designed to enhance durability. If wear is excessive, examine the areas of highest stress. Ensure the shoes are cleaned and dried properly after play to prevent material degradation.

Cons

  • May not offer the extreme cushioning of premium models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These golf shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they are the correct size for a comfortable fit. The cleat system is designed for easy replacement if needed.

Compatibility:

Compatible with standard Pulsar LP cleats by SoftSpikes®. Suitable for use on most golf courses. The synthetic leather upper is designed for year-round play.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the shoes with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grass. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution, then wipe dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and material integrity.
  • Cleat Maintenance: Periodically check the cleats for wear and replace them as needed to maintain optimal traction.
