FootJoy Shoe Fitting Day

On Friday, 26 August we will be hosting a FootJoy shoe fitting day.  For those of you thinking of investing in a new pair of shoes, this is the perfect opportunity to get your feet measured by a member of the FootJoy team to ensure you get the best fit possible. Due to the popularity of the events, I would strongly advise booking an appointment as no guarantees can be made that you will be able to be seen on the day without one.
