The ifrothgolf review
A spiked, waterproof golf shoe built on a genuine wide (E) last. It pairs Under Armour's HOVR foam midsole with a low-profile rotational-resistance spike setup, an engineered microfibre upper and a moulded heel. It sits in the value-to-midrange bracket rather than the premium tier, and is the easy-fitting, no-drama option for players who find most golf shoes pinch.
What's great
Out-of-the-box comfort is the headline. There is effectively no break-in, the wide last gives real room across the toes and forefoot without feeling sloppy, and the HOVR midsole keeps your feet fresh over 18 holes and a range session. Grip is excellent for a shoe at this price, the spikes bite on wet and sloping lies, and the heel lockdown is genuinely secure. Waterproofing holds up in normal British morning dew and light rain, and the whole thing is light on the foot. For the money it is hard to fault on the fundamentals.
Worth knowing
It is not a precision performance shoe. Mid-foot support is the weak spot, so aggressive swingers who really load and torque through impact may want something with a stiffer chassis and more lateral structure. The styling is fairly plain and trainer-like rather than sharp, the waterproofing is reliable for damp conditions but is not a full Gore-Tex level guarantee in a downpour, and because this is now an older model, stock and sizes are getting patchy, so the colour or size you want may not always be available.
The verdict
One of the best-value wide-fit spiked shoes you can buy. If you have broad feet and want all-day comfort, dependable grip and solid waterproofing without spending flagship money, this is an easy recommendation. Hard-swinging, support-hungry players and anyone after a premium look should weigh up a stiffer alternative, and grab your size soon as availability is thinning.
