It's tough to discern value in the golf shoe market. Some golfers are happy to spend $150 or more on one of the best golf shoes they'll wear regularly, but for some, it's tough to warrant spending over the $100 mark when they don't play that often. Nowadays, it's tough to buy a new golf shoe that you can wear all year round for under $100/£100, but I think I've found the solution for the budget-conscious golfer that still values performance, looks and comfort.
The shoe in question is the Under Armour Drive Fade. In the UK, where I test these shoes, they retail at £109 but can already be found at £99 in some places. This almost seems too cheap for a spiked golf shoe from such a well-recognised golf brand. 'What's the catch?' I thought to myself. Well, it's certainly not in the looks department. While they're not a jaw-droppingly gorgeous golf shoe - see the FootJoy Premiere Series Packard LX for this - they blend in nicely. It's a classic spiked golf shoe silhouette with some decent colourways on offer. I wouldn't go for the all-white or all-black version, as I think the red accents on the shoe I tested elevate the overall look nicely.
