I know these won’t be to everyone’s taste however I recently purchased a pair of Footjoy Hyperflex with the BOA system. I needed a new ‘summer’ shoe as the old Adizero’s had pretty much fallen apart. I wanted something light and I personally like the ‘trainer/sports shoe’ type look. This meant that I ended up looking at both the Adidas Boost and the aforementioned Hyperflex.
To be honest there wasn’t much that separated the two, both were very light, seemed to give good stability and were very, very comfortable. In the end it came down to personal preference and in this respect the Hyperflex won.
Having now played 4 rounds in them I am sure I made the right decision, they are the comfiest golf shoe I have ever worn and whilst they have all the flexibility in the world they also feel incredibly stable. I do like the BOA system, I was a convert having bought a pair of Dryjoys a couple of years ago. I always feel that I get a better fit with BOA and my foot feels well held rather than having to worry about laces coming undone on the odd occasion.
My only possible con about the Hyperflex is the cleaning of them. As they have the mesh on them I’m not sure how they will fair on a wetter day however I did read a review before purchasing that it wasn’t nearly as difficult as it might have been with a brush. I also cannot comment on their waterproof abilities as I’ve been lucky enough to have had decent weather over the past week or so. Again, I have read that whilst they don’t look all that waterproof, they definitely are. I will reserve judgement here and update once I find myself a nice rainy day!!
