Do you charge sales tax?
Yes. We are required by law to charge sales tax on all shipments to North Carolina and South Carolina.
How do I know my shoe size?
If you do not know your shoe size, we would encourage you to measure your size with a ruler or common Brannock device. As with all footwear, manufacturers use different lasts, so sizes may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Size conversions for European, the UK and Japan, click here.
What do the letter sizes stand for?
Certain models, namely FootJoy shoes, use letter to denote width. The below table serves as a general rule for widths:
A-Extra Extra Narrow
B-Extra Narrow
C-Narrow
D-Medium
E-Wide
EE-Double Wide
EEE-Extra Wide
M-Medium
N-Narrow
W-Wide
XW-Extra Wide
What is a blem?
A blem is typically a shoe that has a very minor cosmetic imperfection. In FootJoy’s case, these shoes also include factory overruns and retail store returns. Keep in mind that any blemish does not affect performance or the warranty. These are brand new shoes in the box.
What is a closeout?
A closeout is a discontinued style that is no longer produced. They are new and qualify for all warranty coverage.
How should I care for golf shoes?
Proper care and maintenance can extend the life of your golf footwear. Here are a few care tips:
- Always clean your shoes after each round and store them at room temperature.
- Never leave your shoes in the car’s trunk or in a garage. Constant exposure to both heat and cold can cause leathers to become brittle and crack.
- Use cedar shoe trees. They will remove any excess moisture and help the shoes to retain their shape.
- Not walking on cart paths or asphalt will prolong the life of your golf shoe spikes.
- Replace your golf shoe spikes every 10-15 rounds.
What does a waterproof warranty mean?
Some golf shoes include either a one year or two year waterproof warranty. The warranty is determined by the shoe construction. A one year waterproof shoes has a treated leather upper while a two year waterproof shoe includes a waterproof membrane. If you have a warranty issue, please contact us as soon as possible. We honor all valid manufacturer warranties.

What is the difference between genuine leather and synthetic leather?
A genuine leather shoe upper is waterproof and but requires more upkeep than a synthetic leather shoe. It often breathes better and is cooler on the feet. A synthetic leather upper requires less maintenance but is usually not waterproof. It also tends to be warmer than a leather shoe.
