I tried these on and they are amazingly comfortable. The only weird thing is that I typically wear and 11 but in these I wear a 10.5. I had heard a lot of hype about how comfortable they were going to be and wow, they were right.

I also heard a lot of hype about the Adidas Tour 360's and those are like putting your foot into a wooden box. They might be the most uncomfortable shoe I've ever worn.

Here are the DryJoys. $122.

IMO, they are terrible looking and feeling. Tour 360's feel perfect to my feet. I think my flat feet have a lot to do with that.

Never tried them on but i have just ordered a pair of the Dryjoys P.R.O and they seem very comfortable aswell...but i have to say My tour 360's are the pretty comfortable after having them for nearly a year and a half!

tour 360 II more comfortable than these new dryjoys as I have tried them both. New footjoy athletics were actually more comfortable than new dryjoys and both are available on gppgolf. Deal on athletics is pretty good too.

Can anyone compare to ECCO's? I never thought I would switch from my FJ classics, but the ECCo's are the best.

I have the running shoes version of these..... Extremely comfortable and lite. So Im hoping to find these in the US without having to pay shipping cost from Japan.

Damn you guys are harsh. I think the Dry Joys are cool looking - I bought them today and wore them for a quick 9. When I got my Adidas Tour360's I wore them for 4 x 18 holes, and then once my blister healed, I traded them in for a new pair since they may have been defective. They weren't defective - same strange pressure points. The cuff of the heel in the tour360's rode very low and rubbed the bone beneath the achilles tendon. Plus they didn't have much arch. Too bad because I liked the look, and SERGIO WEARS THE ADIDAS. (bleh)

Everyone has different feet so the Foot Joys fit mine perfectly. The black ones look even better:

I'm with you on this one e. The new DryJoys are flat out amazing. Right up there with the Tour 360 II's and Ecco's IMHO.

.In 44 years of playing I have only owned like two pair of shoes not footjoys. But these things look to me like they are trying to copy adidas or nike.

No footjoys? Wow.

Anyway I agree. They resemble the tour360's and I like that look. Classic non-tennis shoe golf style with a bit of athleticism tossed in. A lot of Adidas influence.

That is how the world progresses. Take the best of what's out there and improve upon it. Unlike Microsoft who takes the best of what's out there and poops on it.

Now I need to go get a beer..

I have these shoes in black and I love them. Comfort from the first time I put them on.

WARNING! REALLY SUBJECTIVE DESIGN REVIEW BY SOMEONE WITH NO OFFICIAL DESIGN REVIEW BACKGROUND AHEAD!

I wanted to like these new FJ's (based on early pictures), but once I saw them live, my curiosity ended abruptly. These shoes just don't have any real "flow" to them. The toe design is kind of interesting, but the Star Trek-invoking design on the sides is just a mess. The patterns/textures/shapes that make up the sides just don't go with the bold look of the toe box (which also doesn't seem to jive with the treatment of the sides of the soles). A classic case of overdoing it just to try to introduce some pizzaz to something othwise boring -- like all of the strakes and cladding on a mid-90's Pontiac.

To make matters worse, the black-and-silver [on the white shoes I saw] lace loops (which, by themselves, make matters worse) SPARKLE. So, not only do these busy-and-square things not go with the busy-and-swoopy side and sole details on the shoe, but the silver in them is shimmery. That's got to be a distraction (as well), doesn't it? And the fact that there are only two pairs of these loops placed low on the upper (or whatever it's called) -- instead of all the way up the shoe -- looks wrong to me, too.

I'd submit that the black shoe is the best looking one of the bunch -- mainly because all of the ticky-tacky details are hidden by the monochromatic scheme.

This shoe looks like it was designed by committee -- and everyone got his pet desgin aspect in. Maybe if the shoes had normal lace eyelets, or a straight sole profile, or fewer parts making up the side designs, the shoe could be pretty sweet. Right now, the shoe is going in too many directions for my tastes.
