PROS
- Easy to clean
- Excellent traction.
- Great for wide feet
CONS
- Not a leather shoe
First Impressions
I’ve never owned a pair of Under Armour shoes before, golf or otherwise. I’m a big fan of the brand, have owned plenty of their gym kit, and even love Jordan Speith, but I’ve never thought to get a pair of the shoes.
I ordered a grey pair as I’m fed up with trashing white shoes in the mud in the wet winter/spring we’ve been cursed with in the UK recently, and absolutely loved the look of these out of the box. These shoes will be versatile moving into warmer weather suiting any colour chino I have in my wardrobe.
The simplicity of design and shape of the shoe are excellent. I normally would always lean towards a leather shoe but the TPU outsole is really flexible and light and feels modern somehow.
Putting them on, I couldn’t believe how comfortable they are. These UA shoes have Charged Cushioning midsole that uses compression moUlded foam which results in maximum comfort. They do have that running/gym shoe comfort you would hope to get from this huge brand.
I received a size 7 in the Charged Draw 2 Wide shoes and they fit perfectly. They feature an anti-microbial Ortholite sockliner for unmatched underfoot comfort & breathability, and I am extremely interested in something that will help my feet sweat less during a round of golf, which is something I’ve found before from a synthetic shoe.
On Course Testing
I wore the Under Armour shoes during a round at my home club Sand Moor on a wet spring morning, and this shoe is perfect for that venue. The turf is a bit soft on the first 4 holes which put the grip to the test, but then firms up after that which is more of a test of comfort.

The traction and stability I had in these shoes was incredible. There was no chance of slipping and I felt like I had a tremendous grip of the ground on all different types of sloping lies, which gives me confidence when creating shots out on the golf course.
The 19th hole
I wouldn’t walk straight to the bar with these golf shoes on, and certainly wouldn’t wear them anywhere casually. They are very much golf shoes. They look great and but with the spikes you are certainly not going to go straight from the course to the pub without changing your foot wear.
I really liked how easy they were to clean and how smart they washed up to be. I feel like I could make these shoes last years with some care which for the value price you can get them for is a huge victory for golfers.
I will absolutely continue to wear these shoes in winter and wet spring. They are warm, waterproof and go well with trousers and waterproof trousers and are absolutely worth the price!
