You mean more padding around the Achilles area?  If so, I’m all in.  I loved by ringers but the cushion did rip from excessive friction.  Was my only issue with that shoes, otherwise perfect 

 

From what I remember yeah I'm sure one of the guys here that have them can confirm. You can just order up a pair and return them if you don't like them. 

 

But from initial wear to me their are like a more "tech heavy" Ringer. I like the Ringer just for the fit and comfort for me but if these are more comfortable maybe I'll stick with them as my main shoe over the Ringer. All just depends on price and accessibility as well.

Anyone have the drive pro and zg23? How do they compare?

[scott406]

I just received the Drive Pro last week

Will put into play this weekend

I have been playing in the ZG23 since last year.

I can tell you from just walking around the house that the Drive Pro seems to mold to foot better than the ZG23

The ZG23 seems to have more cushion than the Drive pro

The Drive Pro is by no means a hard shoe, but not as "pillowy" as the ZG23

Will let you know the performance of the shoe and how it compares to the ZG23 after this weekend

Anybody got any feedback on sizing? Used the code (thanks again by the way) and received them last night. Look great, feel great, just feels like there's a lot more room in the forefoot/toebox than I'm used to. Granted, Footjoy Premieres are pretty snug up there in general. Recently picked up the ZG23 as well and these Drive Pro's feel like they have a lot more roomy/relaxed fit in that area.

That's a good thing, like 95% of shoes are way too narrow in the toe box. It might feel weird at first being able to wiggle your toes in your shoes but once you start swinging it will be more comfortable and maybe more powerful since your foot can splay and expand. 

[BigtimeHC]

Never thought about it that way. Looks like I'll be keeping and giving them a whirl asap! Thank you @MattM97 !!

I think the new Curry’s look great if you like an athletic type shoe.

That might make a nice driving range practice shoe. Will need to replace mine soon.

Got the Drive Pro out on the course on Sunday

I have no complaints other than the shoe is a little stiff from being brand new

Great traction, good comfort, and the shoe really fit my foot well, good spacing around the toe area.

The Drive Pro feels like it is molded to my foot, really good fit around the ankle, nice padding there 

The shoe strings really keep your foot in place during the swing and you can really go after it on the the tee box

The Drive Pro does not feel real cushy.  They are not uncomfortable by any means but some people like the pillow feel in a shoe and I find these do not have that feel. I previously owned the ZG23 and the Adidas Boost was very plush, so that is what I am comparing them to.

 

 

Got to walk about 7 holes with the time change the last night and the shoe was easy on the feet

I am picking up a lot of leaves in the spikes.

Also the padding seems to be loosening up the more I wear them

 

 

 

Overall these shoes are very good

Good comfort, not great

Excellent traction 

Excellent fit

It was dry Sunday, so I could not test the waterproofing, but the shoe did clean up very easily

 

Not sure about the claims of more distance, more speed, and better dispersion with the shoe but you do get the feeling you can really uncork one in this shoe.  I was playing from the same areas that I normally play from when I drive the ball well so maybe not more distance.

Who knows

 

 

Your results may vary but I did like this shoe

I took a 10.5 in zg23.  They were almost too snug but fine.  11 is my normal size in Nike but fit zg23 felt too big.  
 

would you say same size for drive pro as zg23

Yes

I wear a 9.5 in both shoes

First try with UA shoes since the original Speith shoes which didn't work for me at all.  I was encouraged to try the Drive Pro SL.  Received and tried them on.  The heel area was very comfortable, but, like many, they felt too narrow in the mid-foot to toe box.  These were a EUR 44m which is a great size for me in most shoes (Ecco, in particular), but my Eccos still fit me better than anything in the past 6 or so years.  And holding them up next to each other, the Eccos were a little wider and the toe box area was longer. 

[MattM97]

Picked up my pair of Drive Pro in wide. Wore them for 30-45min rolling putts in my basement and I'm not sure what I think. Tried the stock insoles, a pair of SuperFeet and just feel like the mid-foot is still a touch too snug. 

 

The toe box I have a good amount of room bit the mid foot I don't think my feet would enjoy after 18. Gonna give them another shot with another insole or two but honestly might just return them. No point trying to make them work when I have 3 other pairs/models that do right now. 

 

Not saying these are bad or meh, just the fit isn't quite to what I hoped for. 

[JLP_GOLF]

Walked 18 in these out of the box and was pretty encouraged.  I have a sort of wide foot and they weren't snug for me but for people with wider fit I could see it being an issue.  They are definitely more stable than ZG 23 and slightly less comfortable.  To be honest im not sure i've ever worn a shoe more comfortable than the zg23.  My particular is with it, and shoes in general, is the heel padding area.  I get blisters by 90% of shoes and while the zg23 never gave me blisters, after about 10 rounds the fabric of the heel padding started to burn a hole in it.  This happened to me in the Travis Ringers too - otherwise, both of those models would have been my first choices.  But still the UA shows promise, i am usually not able to walk 18 out of the box and have to switch pairs mid round.  The heel padding for blisters might be the best i've ever seen in a shoe.  At worst, this shoe is very good.  At best, it might be amazing (for me)

[JLP_GOLF]

Update these are going back.  I think this will be a very solid shoe for 95% of golfers.  Heel padding is unlike any i've seen and blisters seem impossible.  After 36 holes now, I expected these to break in a bit more.  My first 18 holes were pretty pain free - they felt stiff like a new shoe but was impressed.  After my second round, they didn't really break in and just feel like a stiff shoe in general.  Had some foot pain by the end of the round.  Guess the stability comes at the sacrifice of some comfort.  Objectively, I think this is a great shoe but just not for me

I think the shoe itself overall is really solid, but at the same time the S3 system they have making it very stiff in that mid foot will be the make or break for the user.

Has anyone tried the spikeless version of the Drive Pro?  Haven't been able to try on anywhere near me. Not sure why the major retailers aren't even carrying the spiked versions in-store for UA's premier shoe.

[Bakes0]

On my second pair of the HOVR drive spikeless after wearing the first all last season. Love them, have them in wide and they’re true to size. Walk basically all my rounds. Wore Nike forever but they’re no options for the non narrow footed these days so moved on to these. The biggest compliment I can pay to a shoe is that I have them on and I don’t even think about them.
