FootJoy, the #1 shoe in golf, has dominated the PGA Tour for 80 consecutive years thanks to a singular dedication to the game and an unwavering commitment to performance innovation, style, comfort, and quality.
As part of that ongoing commitment, FootJoy is launching bold new updates to its successful HyperFlex range—shoes finely tuned to empower the athletic golfer with a powerhouse combination of comfort, traction, and performance.
So compelling are the upgrades that Justin Thomas, who has relied on modern classic footwear throughout his junior, college and professional career, has now made the switch.
“I’ve worn a classic, structured shoe for pretty much my entire career – Classics, Icon, Premiere, etc. – but I had to make a switch when I tried this HyperFlex,” said 15-time PGA Tour winner, Justin Thomas.
“This shoe is perfect – super comfortable and flexible in the right areas, but also gives me all the support I need to make a strong, confident move on the ball.”
With insights from some of the world’s top players, including Thomas, Corey Conners, Ben An and more, the latest HyperFlex models feature cutting-edge comfort and performance designs aimed at elite golfers.
Wrapped in Comfort
FJ’s popular StratoFOAM cushioning delivers support and comfort tuned specifically for golf. The midsole strikes a balance between shock absorption and energy return, reducing foot fatigue throughout the round. Combined with FJ’s proprietary TruFIT System, the new HyperFlex offers easy-on flexibility and wraparound heel support for a locked-in, secure fit.
Traction for Every Condition, Any Lie
The OptiFlex outsole promotes stability where it's needed most, with strategically placed traction angles developed specifically for the golf swing. LP Pulsar cleats and additional traction elements help manage omni-directional swing forces on every shot.
Hyper Powered
The new HyperFlex is engineered with a PowerPlate outsole that transfers energy efficiently to the ground, resisting unwanted twisting during the swing. A TPU Saddle locks in top-of-foot movement and redirects that energy back into the turf.
For those chasing even more stability and comfort, the HyperFlex Carbon model features a moulded carbon fibre power plate, delivering Tour-level performance and support.
“We wanted to ensure that HyperFlex represented the pinnacle expression in athletic golf performance,” said Dan Buonomo, Product Manager, FJ Footwear.
“Our focus remains on the discerning golfer and understanding what their needs are from a styling, comfort and golf-specific performance perspective, which you’ll see in the new HyperFlex.”
The new HyperFlex is available now, with the HyperFlex Carbon following in September 2025.
