One thing I know about GolfThreads readers is that you love FootJoy shoes as much as we do. Over the years, our articles and social media posts about FJ kicks have been our most popular. Many of you are lacing up limited-edition Premiere Series shoes these days. Others are likely to still have a pair or two of the iconic FootJoy Classics. If so, they probably have a lot of miles on them and are in desperate need of repair.
Well, the good news is, you actually get your favorite FJ Classics restored to like new condition with a family owned company, LaRossa Shoe Repair, that’s been doing restorations for FJ for over 70 years using all original materials. They’ve even done FJ Tour Pros personal shoes and are recommended on the FJ website.
The crew at LaRossa is giving two GolfThreads readers a complete restoration of a pair of golf shoes. The first winner drawn also gets a complete dress shoe restoration. Combined with the golf shoe restoration, this is a $500 value. The second winner drawn, will receive a FootJoy hat in addition to the golf shoe restoration (a $300 value).
Here’s how to enter:
1. Go to our Instagram post about the giveaway.
2. In the comments, tag three friends.
3. Follow @larossa_shoe @golfthreadsblog and @louiestyleofficial
4. Do 1-3 by August 10th.
This is one of the best giveaways we have done and an amazing opportunity to turn back the clock on a pair of classic kicks. Keep in mind, this isn’t a ‘repair.’ This is a RESTORATION!
Also, LaRossa isn’t your local shoe repair shop. In the 1950s LaRossa partnered with FJ on restorations. This partnership still exists today. Ironically, both FJ and LaRossa are celebrating their centennials this year. Over the years, the time-honored methods and craftsmanship have been passed down through the LaRossa generations and they source the finest materials from around the world. You can check out their work on Instagram at @larossa_shoe. Even if you don’t enter the giveaway, give them a follow.
While you’re at it, take a look at LaRossa’s apparel and footwear e-comm site, LouieStyle.com. It is stocked with many of our favorite menswear brands. Everything from Barbour and Rodd & Gunn to Criquet, Ralph Lauren, and more.
