About this deal

When I started swinging in the HyperFlex Carbon, the first thing that was immediately clear was that this is not your average knit shoe. The ThermoPlastic Saddle Strap wraps around your midfoot to provide noticeably elevated lateral stability. The HyperFlex Carbon strikes a nice balance between pure knits and leather stability shoes. Those Thermoplastic Saddle Straps also give the laces more impact on fit than in your standard knit shoe. The HyperFlex family of golf shoes features FootJoy’s OptiFlex outsole that’s been bolstered by six traction cleats. The OptiFlex outsole was designed with flex (or relief) points that move with your foot as you walk. This makes walking not only feel more natural but comfortable as well. Worried about that comfort compromise? FootJoy also added additional cushion to the foot bed to counteract the slightly stiffer feel that the carbon fiber provides. Saddle Up!

The 2023 version of the FootJoy HyperFlex looks nothing like the 2021 HyperFlex [review HERE]. While both shoes do have a knit upper, this current version is solid-colored making it look less like knit. This new version also has a thermoplastic outsole wing” wrapped around the midfoot. Of course, what’s most eye-catching is this neon rainbow colorway. While it certainly won’t be for everyone, I like this fun side of FootJoy. Branding is kept to a minimum, and the technology call outs are mainly tone-on-tone. Stability is good, sure … but if a golf shoe isn’t comfortable? Forget about it. The FootJoy HyperFlex lineup relies on the brand’s proprietary StratoFoam for underfoot comfort.

The FootJoy HyperFlex Carbon golf shoe is stable and powerful. Great traction. Knit upper is very comfortable. Tall, traditional heel. The big talking point on these shoes is the custom moulded carbon fibre plate that sits in the sole. As an avid runner, I’m aware shoe companies have been adding carbon sole plates to shoes for a few years now, and I’ve wondered why they haven’t appeared in golf shoes yet. These shoes are absolutely first class and I’m not surprised to see them already on tour with Sahith Theegala choosing to put them in play straight away. We’d all love to add more control to our golf swing, and the Power Stabiliser outsole creates a secure foundation by harnessing any lateral movement. The new FootJoy Hyperflex golf shoes also have ThermoPlastic saddle straps that provide medial and lateral support.

Power is a huge part of the modern golf game, whether you’re a professional or an amateur, and FootJoy’s Optiflex outsole provides the perfect balance of the flexibility needed for walking and the stability in the golf swing needed to maximise power. Slip on a pair of the new Hyperflex carbon shoes, and you’ll also benefit from a power plate made from moulded carbon fire that delivers Tour-level performance and stability. An OrthoLite Impressions FitBed also optimises underfoot cushioning. A few years ago, I had a FootJoy shoe fitting where the shoe professional told me I had been wearing the wrong-sized shoes my whole golfing career, and he sized me down dramatically. I now wear a minuscule EU 39, which is a whole size smaller than I wear in other brands shoes, but they fit me perfectly.Hyper Control: The ThermoPlastic saddle strap wraps the foot to provide additional lateral and medial support and control throughout the golf swing. Spring golf is just around the corner, so it’s easy to see why 1st March 2023 has been set by FJ as the official launch date for the new FootJoy Hyperflex and Hyperflex Carbon golf shoes. However, some Tour players have already been seen wearing the new Hyperflex models, including Sahith Theegala and Rafa Cabrero Bello.
