FAQs
Are these shoes truly waterproof for all conditions?
The shoes feature a Premium Prohide Leather Waterproof Construction and come with a 1-Year Limited Waterproof Warranty. They are designed to keep your feet dry in normal playing conditions, including rain and damp fairways. Extreme submersion or significant damage could affect waterproofing.
How do I clean the leather exterior?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each use. For a deeper clean, use a specialized leather cleaner. Follow up with a leather conditioner periodically to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
What type of cleat system do these shoes use?
These shoes utilize the Fast Twist 3.0 cleat system, which is designed for a low profile and easy, secure attachment of Pulsar spikes.
Can I replace the insoles for custom orthotics?
Yes, the shoes feature a molded EVA Fit-Bed that can typically be removed to accommodate custom orthotics or preferred insoles, allowing for personalized comfort and support.
What is the fit like on these shoes?
The FJ Fuel features a 'Laser Street Fit', which offers a full rounded toe, a standard fit across the forefoot and instep, and a slightly narrow heel. This provides a secure feel while maintaining comfort.
How often should I replace the cleats?
Cleat replacement frequency depends on usage and course conditions. Inspect your cleats regularly for wear. If you notice a decrease in traction or visible wear on the spikes, it's time to replace them to maintain optimal grip.
Are these shoes suitable for walking or riding carts?
These shoes are designed for all-day comfort, making them suitable for both walking and riding in carts. The lightweight construction and cushioned midsole are particularly beneficial for walking rounds.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose in specific areas.
The 'Laser Street Fit' is designed for a specific fit. If the heel feels loose, ensure the laces are adequately tightened. If the forefoot is too tight, consider alternative lacing techniques or break-in periods. Consult FootJoy's sizing guide for precise measurements.
Water seeping into the shoes.
While waterproof, extreme conditions or damage to the shoe can compromise this. Ensure all seams are intact and that the shoe has not been subjected to prolonged submersion. Clean and dry the shoes thoroughly as per care instructions. If the issue persists, contact customer support regarding the 1-Year Waterproof Warranty.
Reduced traction from cleats.
Inspect the Pulsar spikes for wear. If they appear worn down, they need to be replaced with new Fast Twist 3.0 compatible cleats. Ensure the cleats are properly secured after replacement.
Leather creasing or stiffness.
Regularly clean and condition the leather with appropriate products to maintain its flexibility. Avoid over-tightening laces, which can cause excessive creasing. Ensure shoes are stored properly to prevent drying out.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning Leather: After each use, wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the leather.
- Conditioning: Periodically use a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and moisture. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
