When you think of FootJoy, the first thing that comes to mind is likely its world-leading golf shoes. But what many golfers may not realise, is that the brand is also a leader in performance-driven golf apparel, cementing its status as the number one manufacturer of golf gloves, and boasting a wide range of FootJoy clothing trusted by the pros.
From precision-fit FootJoy gloves to moisture-wicking polos and durable golf socks, the brand’s commitment to quality extends far beyond its footwear. So, let’s take a look at the best FootJoy apparel and accessories to fill up your kit with, and how to find the best fit for your style and performance.
Is FootJoy a good brand?
Absolutely. With more than a century of heritage and innovation behind it, FootJoy is most famous in the golfing world for its shoes. But while the brand built its reputation on footwear, its gloves and clothing are equally impressive for both weekend dabblers and low handicappers alike. Whether you want to update your golfing wardrobe with a best-grip golf glove, breathable shorts, or socks that keep you comfy on the most sprawling courses, FootJoy delivers on every level.
How does FootJoy clothing fit?
FootJoy designs its clothing with performance in mind, allowing room to move freely while keeping a flattering silhouette. The brand is meticulous with its footwear fit, and that precision extends to its wider range of apparel. Its jacket, sweaters, and shirts are sized based on standard sport coat or chest measurements, although you can choose from a traditional golf fit or a more athletic look with its shirts, which we explain in detail below. Meanwhile, FootJoy’s trousers are available in waist sizes from 30" through 42" and inseam sizes from 30" to 34".
Why choose FootJoy golf gloves?
A great game starts with the perfect grip, and this is where FootJoy excels – with the #1 gloves in golf. If you’re coveting accessories the top professionals use and trust, Footjoy golf gloves are crafted for that much-loved breathability, durability, and comfort. With precision-cut materials and advanced technology, every FootJoy golf glove is designed to mould to your hand for a second-skin feel that enhances performance.
From premium leather styles to cutting-edge all-weather gloves, there’s an option for every golfer, style, and playing condition – so you can take your best shot with control and accuracy.
Can you wash FootJoy golf gloves?
Yes – you can (and should) wash them. But how you do this depends on the materials. For instance, fully leather gloves should never be submerged in water and can only be cleaned with a damp cloth to maintain their condition. It’s important to check the care label for each glove’s specific construction and care guide, but, generally, handwashing is the gentlest option:
How to clean FootJoy golf gloves safely
-
To handwash your gloves, mix a solution of mild soap and warm water – no harsh cleaning chemicals or detergents.
-
Immerse the glove in the solution (unless it’s full leather) and massage it with your hands. Areas that come into contact with the golf club may need more attention than others.
-
Once clean, rinse the solution off your glove with clean water to remove all the soap.
-
Finally, pat the glove dry with a towel and let it air dry to finish. Be sure to reshape your glove while it’s still damp to stop it from stiffening
Why are FootJoy golf shirts so popular?
From classic to contemporary designs, FootJoy golf shirts are a serious style staple on and off the course – giving golfers that dream blend of functionality and fashion that suits their body shape. With breathable, moisture-wicking materials, they help keep you cool and dry in warm conditions, with plenty of stretch throughout your swing. Meanwhile, their sharp and stylish fit suits the post-game clubhouse perfectly.
Do FootJoy polos run big?
FootJoy polo shirts are generally true to size, but they vary depending on the style you want. For a more relaxed fit across the chest, shoulders, and waist, with a longer, fuller sleeve and a hem that hits below your hip, go for FootJoy’s ‘traditional fit’. If you prefer a more tailored look in the chest, shoulders, and waist, with a shorter, slimmer sleeve and a straight hem that hits at your hip, the brand’s ‘athletic fit’ shirts are your go to. It’s best to check each shirt’s description for individual fit guidance, or reach out to us if you need help choosing the right size.
Yes, FootJoy golf socks are also fit for precision
Often overlooked but just as important, FootJoy golf socks are engineered with advanced moisture control, superior stretch and recovery, and premium cushioning. All of this works together to give you support, comfort, and temperature control round after round. With performance yarns and reinforced areas, they help reduce fatigue and friction, and don’t move within the shoe (no one wants that on a 36-holer).
If you’re investing in a top-quality pair of golf shoes, you don’t want to let them down with subpar socks. Whether you’re going for a hi-crew or a low-cut style, your FootJoy golf socks should be fit for peak play:
-
Taut across your foot, with no sagging or bunching
-
The sock heel should sit on your heel – not under or over it
-
The toe seam should lie flat along the top of your toes
Where to find FootJoy apparel
From outer layers to base garments, FootJoy golf clothing is specifically (and expertly) designed for the game.
