FootJoy Marks Centenary With Special Edition Wilcox Shoe

It's no secret that FootJoy makes some of the best golf shoes on the market and has done so now for a hundred years. Ever since a woman from the stitching room submitted her entry 'Foot-Joy' to the company-naming contest at the Brockton factory in 1923 (and scooped a $50 prize), it has never looked back. 

The game's best players continue to lace up a pair of FJs, including Justin Thomas, Cameron Young, Adam Scott and Max Homa among many others and, whenever a Major championship rolls around, FootJoy often introduces a limited-edition shoe to mark a special occasion. Going into the 123rd US Open at Los Angeles Country Club, FootJoy is celebrating its epic milestone and, as such, has created a unique, eye-catching shoe worthy of encapsulating this historic moment.
