FootJoy Arc SL Shoe Revealed - FootJoy is set to launch a new spikeless, waterproof shoe called Arc SL with special cushioning for extra comfort
FootJoy has announced the launch of an all-new line of footwear called Arc SL.
It gets its name from the Active Response Cushioning found within the midsole of the shoe, offering golfers high levels of comfort with the DuraTrax TPU performance spikeless outsole offering versatility for golfers looking to wear a performing golf shoe not just on the course itself.
The comfort within ARC SL comes from a variety of updated design features. As well as the Active Response Cushioned midsole, the shoe also boasts leather uppers with a one-year waterproof guarantee.
In addition to this, it is soft, breathable and durable. A new SofCollar hugs the foot, supporting the ankle and helping to secure the golfer throughout the swing.

It has been created specifically for this product, helping golfers to play their best on the course, whilst allowing those looking to wear the shoe both before and after the round to do so, thanks to its modern, clean styling.
