Quality golf shoe
Very comfortable to wear and provides good stability while playing. Size is true to fit. I like the style, actually put black laces in them to give the look some contrast. Fair price.

Hallmark shoe, but takes effort for proper fit
Function- Best ground stability shoe I have owned since metal spikes were banished. I tend to have Scottie Shefflerish-like happy feet if they are not glued to the ground. As each new season goes on and I get stronger, my swing tends to morph to a Jon Rahmish-like short, hard, and don't blink or you'll miss my turn into the ball type swing. In both situations, at my age, I don't have the balance I used to have, and body/club alignments can go to junk if my feet aren't stable. The Alphas hold my foot stable inside, and have many wider spaced spikes which reduce unwanted rolling of a foot.Size/Fit -I have been able to walk into 9 1/2 W of what are now the FJ "Originals" for decades. I have what is called a "high volume foot". They are not "big". I just have a wide forefoot and a high arch. Certain cuts of shoes just don't work sometimes. I struggled with the Alphas. It took 3 orders to get a capable fit. Final size was 9 WW. It gave me a snug fit without rubs or blisters. I think the heel might have generated blisters if I had not worn puffy ankle socks. The stability heel cup is plastic and I can see people getting wicked blisters if they don't make certain their heel is secure.Boa style?- I have the plain Alphas. Maybe the extra BOA tensions could cure any ills for fit. I have the basic Alphas with a tweak. I switched out the thin OEM laces for a set of beefy laces usually found on basketball sneakers. Added a nice bump to foot security and comfort.Looks - I'm too old to be wearing fancy-schmancy golf shoes. And these (white/silver) definitely are a tad hotter looking than my usual blah-classic styles. But I'm willing to put up with some wisecracks for the extra balance/stability.Use- 8 out of 10 times I walk, and play 2X per week. I have played a dozen rounds with them. IMHO, If you get a nice fit, there is some breaking in. Fit and comfort optimized themselves in about 3-4 walking rounds.Who-wears-them?- Pat Cantlay who has the stillest feet in golf when he is "on". There are a few other guys on the regular age Tours. But a bunch of guys are changing over to them on the Champions Tour. No surprise. As we hit 50s+ all of our fast twitch nerves and muscles that control balance/stability start to fade/slowdown. (Well, except for Bernard Langer ;) These shoes definitely help out, and definitely improve ground use in a swing.Conclusion- With supply chains all messed up, finding different sizes at stores to try-on is an adventure. And you MUST try them on. IMHO, these have the wonkiest length and width dimensions I have ever experienced with FJ. FWIW, I went 1/2 size smaller than usual and extra wide, instead of just single wide.But... with patience and finding a good fit, it is a super shoe. IMHO3, When they killed steel spikes it made it way more difficult for new golfers to learn a steady stance and swing. And made it more likely advanced golfers would develop the dreaded spinout feet.IMHO4, I look at people at the range and so many are sliding, spinning and losing balance because their feet aren't fixed to the ground.The Alphas are the best solution to these problems in 25+ years.5 stars for a great shoe. Minus 1 star for having to fuss with the fit and FJ's bellyflop on distribution/promotion.

Twice as nice......
First pair I received in used condition, 2nd pair was new with tags. Terrible that I had to outright buy a second pair because exchange wasn't offered, refund was the only offered option. Regardless I now have a new pair of golf spikes and that was the end game and I'm happy now, the spikes look amazing feel amazing well worth the price.
