The Under Armour golf shoes range is as expansive as it’s ever been for 2020. Underneath the tech-heavy Spieth 4 shoes – which we have reviewed separately – is the impressive Hovr range, including four men’s models, reviewed by Alex Perry, and two women’s models, reviewed by Hannah Holden. Let’s break them down so you can see which would be the right shoe for your game…

Under Armour Hovr Drive GTX

First impressions: UA like to blur the lines between traditional and modern golf shoes and you have to applaud them for that.

Tech: The Hovr cushioning is not only designed to be soft but to return energy as your foot moves. Rotational resistance spikes provide excellent horizontal traction.

NCG verdict: A Spieth 4 Lite, if you will. If you’re not interested in everything the Spieth 4 has to offer then this is a perfect substitute. Though with only £20 difference in the price I’m not sure why you wouldn’t take the next step…

RRP: £150

Under Armour Hovr Show SL GTX

First impressions: And here they are in a spikeless model. The Hovr Show seems to be suffering from somewhat of an identity crisis. Is it a traditional golf shoe? Is it a trainer?

Tech: This spikeless offering gives you a lighter more flexible feel but still features rotational resistance grips on the sole for traction and power.

NCG verdict: Just because I’m not keen on the looks, doesn’t mean this isn’t a great golf shoe. If you want a load of tech in spikeless form then these are for you. Of the four, these were the least comfortable I tried but there’s got to be some compromise on that front.

RRP: £140
