Your golf bag is sorted. Your wardrobe? Probably not. The right footwear and gloves quietly make every round more comfortable, and FootJoy has spent a century perfecting exactly that. So I pulled the seven pieces that actually earn their spot, the ones I’d tell a mate to buy first. Each comes with the honest reason it made the list and a direct link. Start anywhere on the official FootJoy site.
The quick seven
1. Tour Alpha spiked · 2. Stormwalker waterproof · 3. Pulse spikeless · 4. Premiere Field · 5. StaSof glove · 6. RainGrip glove · 7. Premiere Marquis. Buy early, popular sizes go fast. Browse the full range here.
1. Tour Alpha – the grip-it-and-rip-it spiked shoe
If you swing hard and play in real conditions, start here. The Tour Alpha is built for traction and a planted, powerful feel through impact. It’s the shoe for golfers who want to feel locked into the ground when they let one go. Have a look at the Tour Alpha and spiked range.
2. Stormwalker – for golf that ignores the forecast
Rain stops play? Not with these. The Stormwalker is the proper waterproof option, the shoe you reach for when the sky looks mean and you’re going out anyway. Dry feet change everything about a wet round. See the waterproof shoe options.
3. Pulse – the everyday spikeless all-rounder
This is the wear-it-everywhere pick. The Pulse is a clean, modern spikeless shoe that looks at home on the course and walking into the clubhouse cafe after. Comfortable, versatile, fairly priced. It’s the one you’ll reach for most. Check Pulse colours and sizes.
4. Premiere Field – leather that earns compliments
Want a shoe that quietly says you know your stuff? The Premiere Field is full-grain leather with a refined, slightly retro shape. It’s dressier than a trainer-style shoe and ages like a good pair of brogues. Worth the spend if looks matter to you. Browse the Premiere Series here.
5. The leather glove – feel you can’t fake
A premium cabretta leather glove is the cheapest way to upgrade your feel on every shot. Thin, soft, grippy, it connects your hands to the club like nothing synthetic can. Yes, it wears faster. No, you won’t want to go back. Add one from the FootJoy glove range.
6. RainGrip – the glove that loves bad weather
Counterintuitive but true: the RainGrip actually grips better when it’s wet. The fabric is engineered to lock onto the club in the rain, so your hands stop sliding exactly when they’d normally let you down. Every all-weather golfer should own a pair. Grab the RainGrip here.
7. Premiere Marquis – the treat-yourself pair
Last one, and it’s the splurge. The Marquis is the top of the Premiere line: hand-finished leather, a dress-shoe silhouette, the pair you wear when you want to look the part. It’s not cheap and it doesn’t pretend to be. But some shoes are an investment you feel every time you lace up. See the Premiere Marquis here.
Build your kit before the sizes go
So there’s the seven. A spiked shoe for power, a waterproof for the wet, a spikeless for every day, two leather pairs for the look, and two gloves for feel and grip. You don’t need all of them at once. But if even one just replaced something tired in your bag, this is the moment. One honest note: popular sizes sell through and don’t always restock fast, so sort your size now. Start at the official FootJoy store.
