Foot Joy has been noted as an effective golf shoes for years by golf enthusiasts themselves. Not only is it chic and stylish, but they are also durable and water proof.

We golfers need efficient footwear on the course especially during rainy days. The damp course makes it hard to walk on the grass which distracts you from your winning streak.

How to take care of your leather shoes

However, it is unavoidable for leather shoes to be fragile. This is why Foot Joy advises a frequently cleaning at the end of a game. Make sure all dirt is keenly removed. Wash with a mild soap or Foot Joy's patented liquid.

Dry your shoes with natural room temperature. Never use dryers for heat tampers with the leather surface. This is same reason why you shouldn't throw away your pair in the car trunk.

Foot Joy also has various polishers to help restore the shoes' flawless surface. These polishers are specifically made for each leather type/color securing an unblemished façade. Applying such can help in retaining your footwear's life span.

Moreover, it is advisable to keep at least two pairs of Foot Joy leather shoes. Rotating each pair prolongs the durability of your pair for the fact that it is not overworked. Make sure you bring an extra pair each game and change shoes after every round.

Definitely, it is difficult playing in a wet environment especially when you have a critical game to win. Trust only those recognized by co-golfers to assure a clean slate.
