-So there are more than 100 pairs of shoes behind me here, and I'm standing with Rob Kelley of FootJoy. And Rob, I love the products. The shoes are some of the most comfortable golf shoes around, no doubt. And we're right here in front of the ladies' lines. -Uh huh. -What are some of the shoes that are really big this season? I mean, I see plaids and patterns a lot in clothing and you guys even have it on the shoes. We certainly do, and a lot of it really relates to a variety,-- -Uh huh. -a variety of bright color puffs, some really-- -Bright color puff is very big. -high-fashion detail patterns,-- -Uh huh. -different types of silhouette from a fitting perspective 'cause fit is always one of the most important things in finding a really comfortable shoe and having a variety of different lass and different styles. You know, to match different outfits, match different looks is really what we're all about. From high-performance models to models that are a little bit fashion-forward with great cushioning and comfort and flexibility. And seriously, we can fit anyone from-- particularly with our MyJoys program as well, you know, anyone right from, you know, a size 4 all the way up to, you know, 12 and above on women's and on the men side, all the way up to 17 extra, extra wide. -Well, speaking of men's, we have men's continuing here as well. And, you know, the lifestyle shoe, the kind of the more casual shoe,-- -Sure. -we're seeing make a big push in the marketplaces today. -Absolutely. -You guys definitely incorporating that into your line as well? -Yeah, and it's a lot of fun, but it's a lot of versatility. You know, it's a type of shoe you can wear off the golf course, you can get dressed in the morning, put on your golf shoes, and go to the office for a few hours. -Uh huh. -You'll play around the golf or even just, you know, practice on the range and go right to the grill room with the same pair of shoes. So, the versatility is fun. The shoes are really comfortable and lightweight. The material is very, very soft. So, it's a great option in addition to all the performance shoes we have in the line. -Yeah. Talking about performance, what is kind of V-performance footwear if you are all about that performance function? What do you go for? -We'll go right to XPS-1. This is the-- The shoe is just available in the market now, and this is really for, you know, the player that has to have every bit of technology loaded into-- -Uh huh. -one shoe, the best in stability, the best in comfort technologies, the best in flexibility, and in this product, this is all built in to the XPS-1, which stands for extreme platform stability. -XPS-1. Alright. So, in one word, if you had to give it an adjective, what would it be? -I would just say it's just high in performance. -High in performance? -Yeah. -Okay. -Alright. Well, I like it. And it even has the bright color puff on it as well. So,-- -It certainly does. -it's got some fashion flare for you too. -It absolutely does, no question. -Alright. Well, thanks so much, Rob. Also, one of my favorite things about the program that you alluded too earlier, the MyJoys,-- -Right. -the customizable shoe. -Right. -Love those. More than a million, right? 1.5 million combinations-- -1.5 million options. You're right. -you can come up with. -Yeah. -Customization also another huge, huge trend here at the PGA Merchandise Show. -No doubt about it. And with those 1.5 million options, there's fitting options there. If you have different size of feet between your left and right, you can choose between that, a lot of different categories, you know,- -Uh huh. -from our high-end icon, you know, all the way down to our contours here. So, there's a nice range of prices that you can look at as well, but it's really all about the individual, you know, expressing him or herself and how they just wanna have their footwear complement their outfits. -Yes, indeed. -Yeah. -Alright. Well, thanks so much, Rob. -Thank you Win.
