The ifrothgolf review
A premium spikeless leather golf shoe from Mizuno that swaps laces for a Boa dial. The headline act is the Enerzy midsole, the same springy foam Mizuno puts in its running shoes, paired with a full grain leather upper and a grippy spikeless sole. It is built to be comfortable for 18 holes on foot while still looking the part in the clubhouse.
What's great
The comfort is the real draw. The Enerzy midsole genuinely cushions a long walk and gives a bit of bounce back, so your feet are not aching by the back nine. The Boa dial lets you dial in a snug, even fit in seconds and re-tweak it mid-round without bending down to faff with laces. The leather looks classy and far more expensive than the sale price, the spikeless sole grips well through the swing and on damp turf, and they are waterproof with a year-long guarantee to back it up.
Worth knowing
The full grain leather takes a while to break in and soften, so the first few rounds can feel a touch stiff and you may want to size carefully, some testers found them running slightly small. Colour choice is thin, you are largely picking between white/lime and black. Boa dials are brilliant until the day a cable or reel fails, at which point it is a warranty job rather than a quick lace swap. And as a spikeless shoe the grip, while good, will not match full cleats on a steep, soaking wet slope.
The verdict
A lot of shoe for the money, especially on offer. If you walk your rounds and want genuine comfort, a smart leather look and the convenience of a Boa dial, this is an easy recommendation. Just size with care, expect a short break-in, and accept that diehard spike fans in proper mud might want studs instead.
