FootJoy Golf Shoe Size Guide: UK, US, EU For Men & Women

FootJoy Golf Shoe Size Guide: UK, US, EU For Men & Women

RY

Getting the right fit in FootJoy golf shoes makes a genuine difference to your comfort and performance on the course. But with UK, US, and EU sizing all in play, and fit variations between models, finding your perfect size isn't always straightforward. That's exactly why we've put together this FootJoy golf shoe size guide, covering men's and women's sizing across all major regions.

FootJoy is one of the most popular golf shoe brands we sell here at MoreSports, and our customers regularly ask us about fit and sizing before they buy. Some models run slightly narrow, others offer a more generous fit, and knowing what to expect before you order saves time and hassle. We've used our experience selling thousands of pairs to put together the advice that actually matters, clear size charts, measuring tips, and model-specific fit notes.

Whether you're buying your first pair of FootJoys or switching between models, this guide will help you land on the right size with confidence. We'll walk you through how to measure your feet accurately, compare sizing across UK, US, and EU scales, and cover common fitting questions we hear from golfers every week.

What to know before you choose a size

FootJoy golf shoes don't follow one predictable pattern across their entire range, so it pays to understand a few key things before you pick a size. FootJoy builds their shoes on lasts, which are the foot-shaped forms that define the overall shape and volume of each shoe, and these vary between product lines. Before you jump into any size chart, knowing how their system works will help you avoid the most common ordering mistakes.

FootJoy sizing vs standard UK shoe sizes

FootJoy shoes generally run true to UK sizing, but certain models, particularly narrower styles like the Pro/SL Carbon, can feel snug if you have a wider foot. The brand produces shoes in US, UK, and EU sizing, and the conversions don't always line up exactly with what you'd expect from other footwear brands. Here's a quick reference for men's sizing:

UK US EU
6 7 39
7 8 40.5
8 9 42
9 10 43
10 11 44.5
11 12 46

Women's FootJoy shoes typically run around 1.5 sizes smaller than men's, so a women's UK 5.5 is roughly equivalent to a men's UK 7 in length.

Width options matter more than you think

FootJoy offers multiple width fittings across their range, and this is where many golfers go wrong by focusing only on length. The standard fitting is Medium (M), but you can also find Wide (W) and, on select models, Narrow (N) options. Getting the wrong width leads to pinching across the ball of your foot or your foot sliding inside the shoe during your swing.

Their most popular models come in these width options:

  • Standard (M): Suits most average foot shapes
  • Wide (W): A good choice if you have a broad forefoot or sit between sizes
  • Narrow (N): Available on select styles for a closer, more precise fit

Men's vs women's lasts

Men's and women's FootJoy shoes are built on completely different lasts, so you can't simply convert between gender sizes and expect the same fit. Women's lasts are typically narrower through the heel and slightly wider at the toe box, reflecting common differences in foot shape between men and women. If you find standard women's styles too narrow, FootJoy offers wide fittings across several women's lines, so check the product details before assuming you need to go up a full size.

Step 1. Measure your feet at home

Getting an accurate foot measurement is the most important step in any footjoy golf shoe size guide, and it takes less than five minutes. Your foot size can change over time, particularly as you age or if your weight fluctuates, so measure even if you think you already know your size. Always measure both feet, as most people have one foot slightly larger than the other, and always fit to the larger one.

Measure your feet in the afternoon or evening, when they're at their largest after a day of activity.

What you'll need

Before you start, gather a few simple items you'll find in most households. You need a piece of paper larger than your foot, a pen or pencil, and a ruler or tape measure marked in centimetres. Wearing a golf sock during the process also helps, as the thickness of your sock affects the final fit inside the shoe.

How to take the measurement

Stand on the paper with your full weight on your foot, keeping your heel flat against a wall or straight edge. Trace around your foot carefully, holding the pen vertical rather than angled outward. Then measure the distance in centimetres from the heel mark to the tip of your longest toe. Use this simple template to record both feet before moving on:

How to take the measurement

Foot Length (cm) Width at widest point (cm)
Left foot
Right foot

Use the larger of the two length measurements when you match your foot to FootJoy's size charts in the next step.

Step 2. Match your length to FootJoy sizes

Once you have your foot length in centimetres, matching it to a FootJoy size is straightforward. Find the row in the chart below that includes your measurement, and use the corresponding UK size as your starting point. Every footjoy golf shoe size guide worth following will tell you the same thing: always round up if your measurement falls between two sizes rather than down.

If your foot length sits exactly on a size boundary, go up by half a size to leave enough room for your toes during your swing follow-through.

Men's length size chart

Use your centimetre measurement from Step 1 to find your size in the table below. These figures reflect FootJoy's own size specifications for men's styles.

Foot Length (cm) UK Size US Size EU Size
24.4 6 7 39
25.1 6.5 7.5 40
25.7 7 8 40.5
26.4 7.5 8.5 41
27.0 8 9 42
27.6 8.5 9.5 43
28.3 9 10 43
28.9 9.5 10.5 44
29.5 10 11 44.5
30.2 10.5 11.5 45
30.8 11 12 46

Women's length size chart

Women's FootJoy sizes follow a separate scale, so use this chart rather than converting from the men's table above. The length ranges are slightly different, and the EU and US conversions also differ from the men's equivalents.

Foot Length (cm) UK Size US Size EU Size
22.4 3.5 5 36
23.1 4 5.5 36.5
23.7 4.5 6 37.5
24.4 5 6.5 38
25.1 5.5 7 38.5
25.7 6 7.5 39.5
26.4 6.5 8 40
27.0 7 8.5 41

Step 3. Get the right width and arch fit

Width and arch fit are the parts of any footjoy golf shoe size guide that most golfers overlook, yet they have a bigger impact on comfort than length alone. Once you have your length confirmed, your foot width measurement from Step 1 becomes the priority. Getting both right means no pinching, no sliding, and a stable base throughout your swing.

A shoe that's the right length but the wrong width will cause pressure points and throw off your balance at impact.

Choosing the right width fitting

Your width measurement tells you which FootJoy fitting to look for. Measure across the widest part of your foot (usually just behind your toes) in centimetres, then use the table below to find your width category.

Choosing the right width fitting

Width (cm) - Men Width (cm) - Women FootJoy Fitting
Up to 9.4 Up to 8.6 Narrow (N)
9.5 to 10.4 8.7 to 9.6 Medium (M)
10.5 and above 9.7 and above Wide (W)

Not every FootJoy model comes in all three widths, so check the product listing before you buy. If your preferred style only comes in Medium and you measure as Wide, size up by half a size to give your forefoot more room.

Arch support and insole options

FootJoy builds standard arch support into most of their insoles, which works well for the majority of golfers. If you use custom orthotics or need extra arch support, look for models with a removable insole that gives you space to swap in your own insert. These FootJoy styles accommodate aftermarket insoles well:

  • Premiere Series Packard - removable insole with good depth
  • HyperFlex BOA - spacious last with a replaceable footbed
  • Traditions - straightforward insole removal with a classic fit

Step 4. Check the fit and fix common problems

Once your FootJoy golf shoes arrive, you need to test the fit before you take them onto the course. Put them on with your golf socks and stand up with your full weight on both feet. Your toes should have roughly a thumb's width of space at the front, your heel should sit firmly without lifting, and the sides of the shoe shouldn't press into your foot.

How to test the fit at home

Walk around indoors on a hard floor for at least ten minutes before deciding. Flex your foot forward as you would during a downswing and check that your heel doesn't lift out of the shoe. Also check that no single pressure point stands out across the top of your foot or around the ball. If anything feels uncomfortable after ten minutes of walking indoors, it won't improve over 18 holes.

Test on a hard floor rather than carpet, as carpet masks pressure points that will become obvious the moment you step onto the fairway.

Common fit problems and quick fixes

Most sizing issues with FootJoy shoes come down to a small number of repeating problems, and the majority are fixable without returning the shoes. Use this table to identify what you're experiencing and take the right action.

Problem Likely cause Fix
Toes feel cramped Too short or too narrow Go up half a size or switch to Wide fitting
Heel lifts during swing Too long Drop half a size
Pressure across the ball of the foot Wrong width Try Wide fitting in the same length
Loose through the midfoot Too wide Switch to Medium or Narrow fitting

This footjoy golf shoe size guide covers these problems specifically because width fitting is behind most of them, not length, and switching fittings is often faster than exchanging for a different size entirely.
