For golfers that want a super sophisticated look to their footwear, the FootJoy Premiere Series Packard is certainly one of the standout options on the shelf. It’s likely to be one of the reasons Tiger Woods has been seen sporting a pair ahead of the 2022 Masters.

Oozing class, it is named after FootJoy’s founder Frederick Packard and features many luxurious touches, like the pebble grain leather in both the vamp and the quarter of the shoe as well as the use of calfskin croc print accent in the saddle area. This is complemented by a natural leather welt and contrast stitching to create a premium aesthetic.

But a shoe has to do more than look good and our on-course testing proved this was the case. Nike Outlet  ,Our first impression were that the shoe feels lighter than expected for such a traditional looking shoe. Underfoot, it’s firmer than many of the best golf shoes on the market right now, but soft enough to cushion your feet as you walk thanks to the Ortholite EcoPlush FitBed.It’s a cleated shoe, so the VersaTrax+ pattern combines with nine Pulsar low profile cleats to provide impressive grip. Even when testing on a damp morning, at no point did our feet slide laterally or give way. In fact, stability is a key performance attribute of the Packard. It provides a firm and locked in feel, which helps forge the strong connection with the ground that is so crucial to the golf swing and in generating speed.

We love the subtle details on this shoe, like the FJ logo in the heel area and the quality of the stitching. It’s this attention to detail that elevates it above a lot of other shoes in this category, comfortably becoming one of the best FootJoy golf shoes money can buy. The premium user experience is reflected in the price tag (RRP £159.99) but we believe this is money well spent given how they will enhance your outfit.

If you’re playing 36 holes in a day or practicing and playing from dawn to dusk, you might want to opt for something that’s a little more friendly on the foot, but for your most important rounds, the Premiere Series Packard shoe will perform and ensure you’re looking your best. Available in all black or all white, you should be able to matching them with your favourite pair of pants.

Many households have a few pairs of shoes ordered online that are not quite the perfect fit. Some folks have dress shoes that see a lot less wear these days because of remote working. Others have bought shoes for playing basketball, but only wore them a couple of times before realizing that basketball is a lot harder at 50 years old than it was at 15 years old.

For everyone with gently worn, used or even new shoes that they are willing to donate, The Haven of Manitowoc County is conducting a shoe drive fundraiser through May 30.

The plan is to collect pairs of shoes that will be sent to third-world countries while raising funds for The Heaven at the same time.

Pairs of shoes can be tied or rubber-banded together and dropped off at The Haven,Asics Shoes  located at 1003 Marshall St. in Manitowoc. Alternate drop-off locations are First Lutheran Church of Manitowoc and Tanya Finch State Farm Insurance of Valders.

The Haven’s goal is to fill 100 bags, each containing 25 pairs of shoes.

Shoes will be sent to Funds2Orgs, a group that will pay for the shoes based on the total weight of the collected shoes. The shoes will head for developing countries that need them, while the money earned will be utilized the fund The Haven’s shelter.

A program consisting of case management, resource referrals and life skills groups is utilized by The Haven to shelter homeless men for up to 90 days while offering them an opportunity to regain their independence and self-sufficiency.
