FAIRHAVEN, Mass -- FootJoy, the #1 Shoe in Golf, announced today the introduction of an all-new line of golf shoes for men. The LT Series (Lightweight Technology) is the lightest shoe in FootJoy’s performance category. The shoe was designed and developed for golfers seeking the latest in sport fashion performance footwear.

The LT Series is loaded with features; the outsole is constructed of EVA and reinforced in the high-abrasion areas with TPU inserts. The midsole is comprised of EVA for cushioning and an innovative TPU stability wrap which offers tremendous support throughout the midfoot and heel areas of the foot. The uppers continue the stability story with the Interlocking Lace system that extends from the TPU wrap underfoot, providing a secure, stable fit and motion control. In addition, the upper consists of a waterproof membrane surrounded by a thin-spec, durable and lightweight full grain leather.

"The LT Series was created to provide golfers with an extremely lightweight shoe that fits and feels like a sneaker, but performs like a golf shoe. The TPU stability heel and midfoot cup- in conjunction with the Interlocking Lace System - provides a tremendous amount of support through the golf swing. These features, along with a dual center seam and stitch-and-turn detail in the toe, ensure the LT Series will bring a fresh, new look to golf," said Mike Foley, Product Manager Golf Footwear.

The LT Series has a two-year limited waterproof warranty, is available to ship July 15, 2005 and carries a suggested retail price of $130.
