FootJoy’s Premiere Series Retells Golf Company’s Storied History

Known for being the company behind golf’s top-selling shoe, FootJoy traces its roots back as far as 1857.

Dry weather and an endless supply of wooden buildings provided the ideal fuel as the ensuing fire—whose true cause is still a mystery—spread throughout the Windy City.
