FootJoy has been manufacturing shoes for over 150 years in Brockton, Massachusetts and we recently visited the facility where Classics are made. As you might imagine, it’s a very impressive facility and process so we wanted to share some photos from the inside. We’ll give you more insight into the process down the road, so let us know if there’s something specific you want to see.

Thanks for the insider look. Nice to see that alot of the craftsmanship is done by hand. How many pairs of Classics are made here each year? Oh one more thing, can I come be Lisa’s assistant for a week?? Must be nice to control the keys to the top secret areas!! I’d love to see some prototype stuff!
Thanks Ryan, it really is a special experience to be around these skilled shoe-makers. To answer your question, though Classics account for a relatively small percentage of total FJ shoes sold in the consumer marketplace each year, their popularity with the best players in the world is undeniable. Over 65% of players wearing FJ shoes on the worldwide professional tours choose Classics for their style and performance. Also, we’ll let Lisa know you are willing to pitch in
It was great to see how the Classics are made - what a great shoe. You really have an amazing team at FootJoy. When can we expect to see the 2008-2009 line?
Hi Todd. The new Classics line will be available for view on FootJoy.com in early July. Availability is throughout the summer (depending on size and style). Thanks for the post.
Hello, is there an outlet to buy FootJoy shoes there in Brockton?
Hello Matt. Unfortunately, we do not sell any products out of the Brockton facility.
