With the release of the HypefFlex and HyperFlex Carbon golf shoes, FootJoy promises hyper power, hyper control and hyper fit for men and women. Let’s dive straight into the technology behind the shoe and how it can possibly benefit your game. FootJoy HyperFlex and HyperFlex Carbon Release Details

Another change FootJoy made to this year’s HyperFlex lineup is in what they call the Saddle Strap. You’ll notice that the Saddle Strap is larger than previous pairs and is attached to the heel counter rather than as a stand-alone piece. Similar to the addition of carbon fiber, the redesigned Saddle Strap should provide more stability, especially on the lateral side of the midfoot section. Because the strap wraps to the medial side, you’ll have some extra support there, too. The only issue with the ‘athletic’ shoe is that you probably dont want to wear them in the bar or off the course for very long. The FootJoy HyperFlex Carbon features spikes so you are probably not putting them on at home. Keep cool under pressure with a breathable performance mesh that’s combined with a ribbed knit saddle for support and structure. The new FJ Hyperflex and Hyperflex Carbon golf shoes have been designed with the athletic golfer in mind, as it delivers Hyper Fit, Hyper Control, and Hyper Power for men and women. These features are on top of the athletic lightweight comfort, added stability, and swing power maximisation that FootJoy incorporated into its 2021 models.Spring golf is just around the corner, so it’s easy to see why 1st March 2023 has been set by FJ as the official launch date for the new FootJoy Hyperflex and Hyperflex Carbon golf shoes. However, some Tour players have already been seen wearing the new Hyperflex models, including Sahith Theegala and Rafa Cabrero Bello.

FootJoy is the mainstay in golf footwear. Their flagship product, the Pro SL [review HERE], would be a top three golf shoe company all on its own. And while FootJoy’s lineup features primarily traditional designs and longtime favorites, they do like the stretch their creative wings from time to time. That’s where HyperFlex comes in. For athletic golfers who want a shoe designed for power, this is it.

The molded carbon fiber “power plate” should make the HyperFlex Carbon more stable, thanks to added rigidity in the midsection of the foot bed. Carbon fiber plates aren’t new to footwear (distance running shoes take advantage of the same stiffening and energy return properties) but they are still fairly new to golf shoes. The HyperFlex Carbon is undoubtedly not the first shoe to feature this technology and it surely won’t be the last. However, this is the first time FootJoy has outfitted the popular HyperFlex with carbon fiber. Power is a huge part of the modern golf game, whether you’re a professional or an amateur, and FootJoy’s Optiflex outsole provides the perfect balance of the flexibility needed for walking and the stability in the golf swing needed to maximise power. Slip on a pair of the new Hyperflex carbon shoes, and you’ll also benefit from a power plate made from moulded carbon fire that delivers Tour-level performance and stability. An OrthoLite Impressions FitBed also optimises underfoot cushioning. Enjoy the ultimate comfort golf shoe experience with a 100% waterproof mesh upper, StratoFoam, and OrthoLite Impressions. Since those humble beginnings, our endeavour has blossomed into a robust and trusted online retailer, representing the leading brands in the golf industry. We take immense pride in being your go-to destination for all things golf! A few years ago, I had a FootJoy shoe fitting where the shoe professional told me I had been wearing the wrong-sized shoes my whole golfing career, and he sized me down dramatically. I now wear a minuscule EU 39, which is a whole size smaller than I wear in other brands shoes, but they fit me perfectly.

Stability is good, sure … but if a golf shoe isn’t comfortable? Forget about it. The FootJoy HyperFlex lineup relies on the brand’s proprietary StratoFoam for underfoot comfort. I tried the HyperFlex with the BOA system which you can see above. I’m often not a fan of BOA golf shoes as I’ve found them to be restricting and uncomfortable. So I was very skeptical about these, but I can certainly say they were great. The BOA system is internal and only has a small amount showing where it tightens the strap, I believe this is why I found them to be so secure as the BOA tightens with the straps rather than the laces themselves. Thanks to the soft spikes the grip was exceptional on the course, but I would say maybe too good. Before my first round, I was on the driving range and struggled to get my feet turning through my swing as they gripped the mat too well, which I thought could have hurt after more and more swinging, however on the course and with some give in the ground they worked wonderfully.Here are a few more reasons to treat yourself to a new pair of Hyperflex or Hyperflex Carbon golf shoes this spring. The fit of the FootJoy HyperFlex Carbon is roomy without being sloppy. My feet could always sense the edges of the shoe, but there was room for them to move. Despite the fairly sleek appearance, the toe box is quite roomy. I tested these in size 13 – my standard for FootJoy – and the fit was right on. Performance FootJoys new FootJoy HyperFlex Shoes are a performance golf shoe loaded with features, benefits, and modern construction technology. The result, an incredibly stable, Tour proven shoe that offers the ultimate in-step comfort.
