Even though I need a new pair of golf shoes, I’m very leery about buying a pair of shoes from woot. If your return policy was even a little more lenient I would jump on this deal…but I’m not going to buy shoes without trying them on and get stuck with something that may not even fit well. I know you guys offer sizing guides and the like but its not enough. If you are going to sell clothes you need a return policy that reflects the product.
I bought a pair last time and they were a little tight. I would buy 1/2 size larger. I have shoe “horns” that stretched the shoes and they fit ok. Unique idea, but I prefer regular golf shoes.

What you are really looking for ia return policy that mirrors a retailer who sells the same product at a much higher price, so what will be next? a person that you can discuss the product with, a person that will lace them for you or perhaps has owned a pair? these are retail services, something woot is not. The bottom line is woot procures specialty product that they sell at often a highly discounted price under flash sale conditions. Their arrangements from the manufacturer is usually a TAKE It ALL, with no returns back to footjoy. Any remaining product is then liquidated or sold to another 3rd party. In order to woot to modify their return they would have to accept a much higher operating cost ( hire a team of people, each having a PC, each having an accountable data base, insurance, possible a seaprate warehouse, shipping costs etc.
I saw these exact shoes the other day at my local golf store,personally I think they are too feminine looking they had my size, my color and they were 89.99. And they will accept a return and they likely are selling them at a loss at that price.
Its much easier for woot to not offer retail services such as return policies, keeping their prices super low, selling 1000s than to appease a small percentage of people who wouldn’t know a good deal if it slapped them in the face.
So we shell out $55 for a pair of shoes and then when they don’t fit we’re supposed to just chalk it up to experience? A “deal” on something that doesn’t fit is not a deal. Besides, these are not even a deal in the first place. They are for sale all over the web for less.
BTW - Use your credit card to purchase. Then if they don’t fit you can dispute the charge.
Don’t buy shoes from Woot. If there’s a sizing issue you’re SOL. That said, I’ve owned many FJ golf shoes and have been satisfied but these shoes bow inwards and they feel very uncomfortable. Tried them on in my house and wanted to return but Woot won’t take them back.
