FootJoy Premiere Series Tarlow, Flint, and Packard Golf Shoes Review: 2021 PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas Golf Giveaway DAY 7

My favorite FootJoy shoes of all time.  I really can't give any higher praise.  The Premiere Series, every one of them.  The Tarlow, the Flint, the Packard.  All with exquisite details, hypnotizing beauty, and unrestrained performance.  And absolute proof golf shoes really can make your mouth water.

I already reviewed all of these shoes for you this season, but will highlight a few points here again and touch on some differences between them since one of you will win your very own pair of brand new FJ Premiere Series shoes.  Choose any style, any color, any size you want.  Go crazy.

Let's start with the Tarlow.  Inspired by Bill and Dick Tarlow who brought FootJoy into business in 1957, Tarlow are crafted with a timeless cap toe design, natural grain pebbled leather, croc print in the heel and cap, and gorgeous contrast stitching.

Tarlow are ultra-lightweight, comfortable, waterproof, and exceptionally breathable.  Actually all three shoes in the Premiere Series are.  Tarlow are lined with luxuriously soft sheepskin, and come in a spiked option only.

The Flint is offered in a spiked and spikeless option (depending on the color you choose).  And FootJoy also made these from soft Pittard's leather like Tarlow and Packard.  Flint was inspired by Perley Flint, a Harvard grad and avid golfer who designed FootJoy's first golf shoe in the 1920s. 

Flint has only three eyelets on each side for a sophisticated, old-school look.  You might think fewer eyelets means a looser fit.  But they lace up perfectly snug just like Tarlow and Packard.  Flint is lined with microfiber (unlike the sheepskin lining of the Tarlow and Packard), and honestly all are just decadently comfortable.

And a quick mention on the outsoles.  All three shoes use VersaTrax+ outsoles which feature tread patterns of different shape, position, and firmness that want to grab everything.  And the spiked versions are seven ways to Sunday grippy.  Utterly phenomenal traction.  Even the spikeless Flint option however delivers fantastic grip in probably all but the worst conditions.  Great stability, and great grab of the turf.

Last but not least are the Packard.  These are inspired by FootJoy founder and pioneer Frederick Packard, and feature a calfskin croc print that accents the saddle area from the pebbled leather upper.  And again with that sublime stitching... (pointing/waving finger) you're good FootJoy.

Packard come in a spiked option only, lined with that sumptuous sheepskin, and like Tarlow and Flint are completely waterproof, breathable, and and extremely lightweight.

So clearly... you can tell I love the Premiere Series.  All three styles also feature an Ortholite EcoPlush FitBed, which gives you both added support in the heel, and extremely comfortable underfoot cushioning.  If I had to choose right now, one model of FootJoy shoes to wear for the rest of my life?  It would be the Premiere Series.

The Premiere Series collection are pretty much shoes without weakness.  The timeless, classic styles are masterfully crafted with no details overlooked.  The lightweight, performance packed, show-stopping elegance will arouse the traditionalist in you.  These are just completely and utterly glorious.
