Advanced traction of Footjoy Stratos

The pair's outsole is engineered with Footjoy's latest innovation. Many find it impressive and agree that "they felt surefooted in wet and muddy conditions."

This latest innovation is known as VersaTrax+. With its unique traction design, optimal grip from any lie or angle is guaranteed. Even with its spikeless design, it will provide total traction coverage, thus reducing slippage. Golfers appreciate the level of support and anchored sensation they feel while doing both backswings and downswings.

Aside from its optimal grip, its spikeless design also makes off-course use possible and trouble-free. However, an expert notices that the shoe, like most spikeless golf shoes, "still gathers dirt in the outsole."

The VersaTrax+ spikeless outsole provides grip on the grass and effortless walking on the sidewalks.

Stratos keeps you well-cushioned

To maximize comfort while allowing the golf shoe to absorb shock and return energy, the Footjoy Stratos features StratoFoam.

Aside from the optimal energy return and comfort, this reduces fatigue on the underfoot.

Comfort and energy return are handled by the brand's signature foam compound that was designed especially for golf. 

Footjoy Stratos is 100% waterproof

Several golf players attest that the shoe is impermeable, saying, "my feet were 100% dry at the end."

Spacious toe box adds comfort

The majority of players express excitement over the shoe's luxurious feel. Some testers attributed this to its "spacious toe box which allowed maximum comfort."

Its spacious toe box is due to its Lane Last, which offers a full rounded toe character that will allow the toes to spread.

Wear the Stratos on and off the course

The shoe's elegant design has warranted compliments from strangers, with one reviewer describing it as "screaming class." It also urged people to use it at business meetings and occasions.
