Under Armour 2020 Shoe Range from £90

-

Under Armour golf shoes have improved every year since bursting on to the scene in 2015. This year, golfers not only have more models to choose from than ever before, but can also benefit from extra comfort and performanc­e.

The signature Spieth 4 GTX shoe (£170) will rightly grab a fair share of the limelight. It has been statistica­lly proven to offer the best ground-force generation and traction. Once again, it has been designed with heavy input from Jordan Spieth himself.

That said, the new quartet of Hovr shoes are arguably equally as impressive. Leading these is the Hovr Drive GTX (£150), a cleated shoe that shares many of the same features found on Spieth 4 GTX.

These include the Gore-tex membrane and RST 2.0 resistance cleats, which help golfers keep their feet planted while leveraging the ground for full power through their swing. It is 45g lighter than Spieth 4 GTX and also has Hovr cushioning. This special material produces long-lasting energy return and supports the natural motion of the foot.

For golfers seeking cleated performanc­e on a tighter budget, there is the waterproof Hovr Matchplay (£120), which has similar performanc­e features without Gore-tex.

Then there are two spikeless options to choose from, the first being the Hovr Show SL GTX (£140). This boasts full-length Hovr cushioning, Gore-tex waterproof­ing and an adapted Rotational Resistance outsole. Finally, the Hovr Fade SL (£90) offers a lighter, more flexible feel as well as an anti-microbial Ortholite X40 sockliner for underfoot comfort and breathabil­ity.

Considerin­g the versatile styling, performanc­e and free shoe bag worth £25 when golfers buy a pair of Hovr shoes this season, the value on offer from the range is second to none.
