FootJoy Women’s Empower BOA Golf Shoes Review
“Happiness is a long walk with a putter.” – We have Greg Norman to thank for that gem, and as far as I am concerned, he’s spot on. What can be better than a day spent strolling the course, swinging your club, and making the perfect putt? For me, having the right apparel is key, I like to feel the part, and for that I need a good pair of golf shoes.
I’m greedy when it comes to my golf shoes – I like style, I like comfort, and I am also keen on enhancing my golfing performance. That said, I don’t want to spend a fortune (golfing equipment can be pricey – a limited-edition Scotty Cameron replica putter produced to commemorate Tiger Woods’ 1997 Masters win will set you back a cool $20,000).
It’s a tall order, a golf shoe that’s comfortable, stylish, performs well and is affordable too? Let’s see if the FootJoy Women’s Empower BOA Golf Shoe lives up to the hype.

So, let’s explore what makes the FootJoy Women Empower BOA Golf Shoes a great choice for discerning female golfers:
- Waterproof – We like that the way your tootsies stay dry, there’s nothing worse than wet feet after a round – yuck! These shoes come with a 1 year limited waterproof warranty too.
- Comfortable – The soft underfoot EveryStep foam offers pure comfort, keeping the balls of your feet sweet. We like a shoe that doesn’t rub your feet or slip as you move.
- Performance Enhancing – The FootJoy’s scream great performance, and that’s due to the FootJoy MaxGrip traction pod on the outsole. The pod provides superior grip for a stable swing, whatever weather conditions you are playing in.
- Stylish – Big points to the FootJoy Women Empower BOA Golf Shoes for their striking style. The bright and breezy sports mesh makes this shoe stand out and you get to choose from no less than five designs. Even though the colours are vibrant you should still be able to team them with your outfits for an eye-catching, yet functional, look.
- Fit – The FootJoy shoe has a rounded toe and a slightly narrower heel, there’s also the unique Boa® dial which works well to provide a “back and down” fit -holding the heel and the forefoot in position.
- Breathable – We say no to sweaty, smelly feet! The FootJoy Women Empower BOA Golf Shoes are both lightweight and breathable.
- Affordable – I like to save a bit of my hard-earned cash for the 19th hole, so if I can get a pair of decent shoes without paying out a ridiculous amount, I’m a very happy golfer!
What Are the Cons of FootJoy Women Empower BOA Golf Shoes?
Considering getting yourself a pair of FootJoy Women Empower BOA Golf Shoes? We don’t blame you – they have a lot to offer! However, there are a few things we would like to make you aware of:
- FootJoy designs aren’t for the faint-hearted. If you prefer beige to bright then the five colour options might not be your golfing thing.
- This range is slightly pricier than some, but if you want a shoe that looks funky and does the job, then paying a tiny bit more shouldn’t be a big deal.
- Spike-free design may put conventional players off, but it could be time for a change?
- The unique “dial lacing” concept may prove a step too far for those who like to just tie their shoelaces and be on their way!

Earliest golf memory?
At around 8 years old, I was hanging out with my dad at work, who was a golf instructor at Tierra Rejada Golf Club. He was giving a lesson to the Fresh Prince himself: Will Smith.
Who inspired you to play?
My dad put a putter in my hands at 2 years old, and taught me everything I know. But when I saw Annika Sorenstam on TV for the first time, jumping into Poppy’s Pond, that was it. I wanted to be the next Annika.
