Lightweight comfort is the highlight of the Superlites XP
As the name suggests, Footjoy wanted the Superlites XP to be as lightweight as possible. They delivered on this goal, offering golfers an option that might be one of the lightest golf shoes on the market.
Footjoy Flex XP
As with most golf shoes from Footjoy, the Superlite XP is also waterproof. This is an impressive quality of the shoe that also features a mesh-like, breathable outer cover to keep your feet cool during warmer days.
Same brand only
The Superlites XP is quite narrow toward the toe, which could be a turn-off for some golfers. Footjoy has a tendency to fit narrow, so it is highly recommended to try on multiple options to amerce a size that allows for enough room if you have wider feet.
It is very comfortable to walk in
Assuming you prefer a narrow fit and feel, these golf shoes are very comfortable to walk in. The athletic design is closer to that of a sneaker or gym shoe, while the low profile sits just below the ankle. Combine these features with the overall lightweight build, and you’ve got a fantastic shoe to walk 18 holes in.

The Footjoy Superlite XP has a modern style without being too over-the-top. Traditionalists will also enjoy these shoes for their fit and athletic feel, as they look great when paired with shorts or slacks.
