For a Perfect Fit, Try the Rule of Thumb

Proper fit is key. I found the new FJ SuperLites to be a bit wider than my other FJs. Heavier socks were the answer for me. Thumb rule is a pretty good idea.

Armando, based on what you said, you should probably consider a narrow width.

Longirony, I feel your pain as someone who also wears a 12.5. I am ideally suited to a 12.5N but have found nice fits with a 12M in SYNR-G and FJ Sport. Regarding options in 12.5, you should consider our custom MyJoys program which offers several DryJoys styles in sizes 12.5. www.myjoys.com

Good luck!

Chris, thanks for the reminder about properly fitting shoes. This information applys to all shoes not just golf. And, yes you foot does change over time and its vital to have the right shoe b/c they impact your knees and lower back. And we all know the importance of those areas for golf.

Footjoy could fit me better if they went back to making size 12 and a half shoes in affordable styles. The last time I looked there was one $300 style made in my size. I play a lot and I'm not going to buy 2 $300 pairs per year. 12 is too small, 13 too big for me.

In my case, my dryjoys close too much since the eyelets are almost touching.

I wonder if FJs sizes run way bigger than other brands. According to the measurement device I am normal witdth, but maybe in FJ's world I'm a bit narrow? My foot does "swim" within the shoe.

The Rule of Thumb is by no means meant to replace a proper set of measurements from the Brannock device. It is just one quick way to determine how your shoes fit.

While that may be a good rule of thumb, many years ago while going to school I worked in a shoe store. The Brannock device was one of the most valuable tools and we were taught to measure both feet. Then we used the slide on the side to determine the true length of the foot by the that little slide measurement. It is the arch measurement that is the most important measurement in fitting shoes. As a general rule a man's right foot is usually larger than his left and the reverse is true of a woman's, in that the left is usually larger.

Interesting idea. I just checked and my thumbs are both approximately one inch wide, making it tough to use this guideline. Most of my FootJoys fit with the top eyelets pulled almost together. I've had no problems over the years with any of my shoes, either. Guess I'm one of the exceptions to your "rule".
