When we set out to compare SQAIRZ against FootJoy, we wanted something no golfer could argue with—an experiment that speaks for itself. Real shoes, real measurements, and results you can see.
So, we took both pairs—FootJoy’s top model and our SQAIRZ ProS2™ LT—and did what few brands have the nerve to do.
We cut them open.
The Test
The method was simple: fill the toe boxes of both shoes with sand to measure the actual internal volume. More sand means more space for your toes to spread, which directly affects how your feet interact with the ground during your swing.
The Results Were Obvious
When the sand settled, SQAIRZ held significantly more. The toe box was measurably larger, creating a stable base that lets your toes splay naturally. FootJoy’s toe box? Narrower, tapered, and limited. Less space equals less surface area in contact with the ground.
And in golf, that difference is mechanical.
Why It Matters
Golf isn’t played through the uppers of your shoes. It’s played through your connection to the ground. Every ounce of balance, control, and distance starts from that base.
By allowing natural toe splay, SQAIRZ increases your ground contact, unlocking better use of ground force. That leads to improved stability at setup, consistent weight transfer, and ultimately, more controlled power through the swing.
FootJoy has heritage. But heritage doesn’t equal performance.
From Tradition to Transformation
FootJoy’s been around for more than 165 years. They’ve built their reputation on familiarity and fit, but have minimally innovated over the years. Meanwhile, SQAIRZ engineered its technology from the ground up taking constant testing and feedback into consideration.
Our patented roomier toe box, SmartTraction™ outsole, and NRGFoam™ midsole were tested, measured, and proven to perform.
In independent studies, golfers gained measurable improvements:
-
Up to 3.9 mph faster swing speed
-
12+ yards more distance
-
Better balance and consistency in every motion
Seeing Is Believing
Most brands talk about feel. We cut ours open.
When you watch the video, you’ll see the difference in design philosophy—where FootJoy’s narrow taper ends, SQAIRZ’s foundation begins.
That extra sand inside the SQAIRZ toe box is evidence of intent. Proof that every millimeter of space was engineered for stability.
Final Thoughts
FootJoy is for golfers who value tradition.
SQAIRZ is for golfers who value results.
If you’re chasing measurable performance—distance you can chart, balance you can feel, and control you can trust—there’s no comparison once you’ve seen inside.
Watch the video. See the difference. Then step into performance you can measure.
