Vintage Ex+ FootJoy Classics Men's 9B Brown LIZARD Golf Shoes w/Hogan Spike

Gorgeous vintage, very rare collectible (the Hogan spike) men's size 9B FootJoy Classics brown LIZARD golf shoes. These show light normal wear. They are sooooo nice I wish I was a 9B (narrow) just so I could wear these to the course. Please check out the many enclosed detailed high resolution photos that I have provided. Out of the personal collection of a PGA professional who wore nothing but the best. He has been on the Hogan Staff since 1955 which explains why he had the extra spike installed on these shoes straight from FootJoy. Shipping will be a flat $10.00 anywhere in the continental USA. International shipping charges will apply. If you wear a 9B (or know someone who does) then you're one of the fortunate ones. These are extremely rare, especially in this condition. Thank youThe Hogan Spike : As we all know, Ben Hogan is thought to have one of the best swings in the history of golf. What are the reasons for this? What is the secret? One thought with some basis, is he added extra spikes to his shoes so he could be more connected to the ground. He understood the importance of having a stable base and wanted as much as he could get. In Hogan's day all outsoles were flat with no additional traction. The only interaction with the turf came from the spikes. When the metal spikes were placed around the perimeter there were some large areas that did not have any traction. Thus, Hogan would have seen some benefit from adding an extra spike or two sometimes. Author Tim Scott in His book Ben Hogan:The Myths Everyone Knows, the Man No One Knew had this to say,"Ben Hogan's golf shoes were unique, and customized. Hogan's shoes had an extra spike in them, most often under the ball of his foot. These gave him stronger footing for his forceful swing."
