How Do Under Armour Golf Shoes Fit? A Complete Sizing Guide
Under Armour golf shoes generally fit true to UK size with a snug, sock-like feel, though width options can be limited.
Under Armour has built a reputation for performance-driven sportswear, and its golf footwear range is no exception. Whether you're shopping for spiked or spikeless, mesh or leather-style uppers, one question comes up again and again: how do Under Armour golf shoes actually fit?
In this guide, we break down Under Armour golf shoe sizing, width, materials and fit-tuning tips so you can order with confidence first time.
Under Armour Golf Shoes Sizing
Generally, Under Armour golf shoes run true to standard UK sizing. They're designed to offer high levels of comfort, grip, and protection for a full day on the course, and for the majority of people, we recommend going with your regular size for the best fit.
How To Find Your Size
Trace your foot onto a sheet of paper and measure from the back of the heel to the tip of your longest toe, then find that measurement in the first column of the chart below.

Between sizes? If your measurement falls between two chart numbers, it's recommended to go with the larger size, particularly for models with compression-mesh uppers, as these can fit snug through the midfoot.
That said, golfers with wider or narrower feet often report slight variations depending on the model:
HOVR-cushioned models (e.g. Drive Pro Clone, Drive Fade 2)
- True to size for most
- A snug midfoot thanks to the compression-mesh upper
Mesh-upper spikeless models (e.g. Halo)
- Slightly roomier in the toe box
- Some golfers size down half a size, especially if they have narrow feet and prefer a tighter, more locked-in feel.
Structured leather-style models
- Runs slightly narrow
- Golfers with wider feet may want to size up half a size or look for wide-fit alternatives.
As with any golf shoe purchase, it's worth trying a pair on with the socks you'll actually wear on the course, since golf socks are often thicker than everyday socks and can change how a shoe feels by up to half a size.
Men's vs Ladies' Under Armour Golf Shoe Sizing
Under Armour produces dedicated men's and ladies' golf shoe lasts, meaning the shape differs between ranges, not just the size.
Ladies' Under Armour golf shoes are built on a narrower heel and lower-volume forefoot, which typically suits a narrower foot shape better than sizing down in a men's shoe.
Under Armour's Ladies' Footwear Size Chart
| Length (CM) | Under Armour Ladies' UK Size | EU Size | US Women's Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 22 | 2.5 | 35.5 | 5 |
| 22.5 | 3 | 36 | 5.5 |
| 23 | 3.5 | 36.5 | 6 |
| 23.5 | 4 | 37.5 | 6.5 |
| 24 | 4.5 | 38 | 7 |
| 24.5 | 5 | 38.5 | 7.5 |
| 25 | 5.5 | 39 | 8 |
| 25.5 | 6 | 40 | 8.5 |
| 26 | 6.5 | 40.5 | 9 |
| 26.5 | 7 | 41 | 9.5 |
| 27 | 7.5 | 42 | 10 |
| 27.5 | 8 | 42.5 | 10.5 |
| 28 | 8.5 | 43 | 11 |
| 28.5 | 9 | 44 | 11.5 |
| 29 | 9.5 | 44.5 | 12 |
Note that the same UK number doesn't mean the same length across the two charts. Where the two overlap, a ladies' UK size runs roughly half a size below the men's equivalent for the same foot length (a 25cm foot is a ladies' UK 5.5 but a men's UK 6).
So if you're a golfer sizing across ranges (for example, a small-footed man or a woman with wider feet), measure your foot in centimetres and work from that rather than assuming your usual UK number carries over.
Understanding Under Armour's Fit Technology
Under Armour uses several fit-focused technologies across its golf shoe range, and knowing what's in your shoe will help you understand how it should feel:
1. UA HOVR Cushioning
Found in HOVR-cushioned models such as the Drive Pro Clone and Drive Fade 2, this foam compound is designed to feel "zero gravity" underfoot. It moulds slightly to your foot shape over the first few wears, so a shoe that feels marginally snug out of the box often loosens into a more natural fit after a round or two.
2. Compression Mesh Uppers
Many Under Armour golf shoes use a stretch-mesh upper that hugs the foot for a sock-like feel. It's worth understanding what that does and doesn't give you: the material stretches across the width, so it moulds around a broader forefoot, but it doesn't add any internal volume. That's great for lockdown and stability during the swing, though it leaves less room for orthotics or thick socks, which is something to factor in when choosing your size or trying on.
3. Rotational Resistance Outsoles
While this affects grip rather than sizing directly, a shoe with strong rotational resistance needs to fit snugly at the heel to work properly. If your heel is slipping in an Under Armour shoe, it's a sign you may need a smaller size rather than a wider one.
Width Options: What If I Have Wide Feet?
Unlike some golf shoe brands (FootJoy, for example, which offers multiple width options across many models), Under Armour's golf shoe range is more limited in width choices. Most models come in standard (medium) width only, with select styles occasionally offered in wide fit.
That standard width suits most golfers, but if you have especially wide feet, here's what to consider:
Stretch Uppers
Look for models with a stretch mesh or knit upper. These aren't cut any wider than the rest of the range, so they'll still feel snug at first, but the material gives across the forefoot rather than pressing back. That means it adapts to a broader foot in a way a more structured shoe can't.
Sizing Up
Consider sizing up half a size and using a thicker insole or orthotic to fill the extra volume. This enables you to get the width you need and tailor the fit with the size of insole you choose.
Alternatives
If Under Armour's standard width doesn't quite work for your foot shape, compare with an alternative such as ECCO golf shoes, which tend to have a roomier fit.
Step-by-Step: How to Check the Fit When Trying Under Armour Golf Shoes
The size charts get you to the right number on paper, and the upper construction narrows down the model. The next step is to confirm the fit once the shoes are actually on your feet. Here's a quick checklist that's worth running through whether you're in-store or trying on a delivery at home.
- Try them on in the afternoon. Feet swell slightly throughout the day, so a later try-on (or measurement) reflects how the shoe will feel by the back nine.
- Wear your usual golf socks. Fit can shift noticeably between thin performance socks and cushioned golf socks.
- Check the heel lock first. Walk a few steps and check your heel doesn't lift more than a few millimetres. This is critical for swing stability.
- Check the toe box. You should have roughly a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- Test on both feet. It's common to have one foot slightly larger than the other; always fit to the larger foot.
- Walk on both flat ground and an incline if possible, since golf shoes need to perform on uneven terrain, not just flat showroom floors.
Breaking In Under Armour Golf Shoes
While Under Armour golf shoes should feel comfortable right out of the box, some models, particularly those with HOVR foam, need a short break-in period of 1–2 rounds before they will feel completely moulded to your foot.
The mesh upper relaxes slightly, and the foam takes on the shape of your foot, so the snug, sock-like feel when brand new isn't always a reliable guide to how the shoe will settle after a few wears.
A few things make that process easier:
- Wear them around the house first. An hour or two indoors, in your golf socks, lets the upper start to give before you commit to 18 holes.
- Try them on the range or during a short nine. Better to discover a rub or pressure point over nine holes than halfway round a medal.
- Adjust the lacing rather than the size. Most early discomfort is pressure across the instep or a loose heel, and both are usually fixable with how you lace rather than a different shoe.
- Don't force it with heat or stretching. Stretch mesh and HOVR foam are designed to adapt on their own; aggressive stretching risks a loose, sloppy fit later on.
If a shoe still feels uncomfortably tight after this point, it's usually a sizing issue rather than something that will resolve with wear. In this case, it's worth exchanging for a half size up. The same goes for heel slip that lacing doesn't cure: that's a sign you need a smaller size, not more break-in time.
Common Fit Issues and Fixes
| Issue | Likely Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Heel slipping | Shoe too big, or laces not tightened through the top eyelets | Re-lace using a heel-lock (lace-lock) technique, or size down |
| Tight across the toes | Narrow toe box for your foot shape | Size up half a size or try a spikeless model with a roomier toe box |
| Pressure on top of foot | High instep, laces too tight | Skip the top eyelet or loosen the midfoot lacing |
| Shoe feels sloppy after a few rounds | Upper has stretched with wear (common with mesh) | Consider an insole for extra volume, or size down next time |
Under Armour Golf Shoes vs Other Brands: Fit Comparison
If you're comparing Under Armour against other golf shoe brands before you buy, here's a general guide:
| Brand | Typical Sizing & Fit | How The Fit Compares to Under Armour |
|---|---|---|
| FootJoy Golf Shoes | True to size, with multiple width options in many models | More customisation options for width |
| ECCO Golf Shoes | Roomier fit, especially in the forefoot | A good option for wider feet |
| Adidas Golf Shoes | Generally true to size with a medium-width fit | Similar, though some mesh-upper styles run slightly narrow in the heel |
| Nike Golf Shoes | Often run slightly narrow and short; many golfers go up half a size | A similar snug, sporty profile, but less reliably true to size |
| PUMA Golf Shoes | True to size for most | Slightly wider toe box; a useful alternative for broader feet |
| Skechers Golf Shoes | Comfort-led fit with a generous toe box | Roomier and often wider fitting |
| G/FORE Golf Shoes | Some golfers find the fit slightly generous High | Less predictable and worth trying on rather than ordering blind |
| J.Lindeberg Golf Shoes | Sleeker, lower-volume last that suits narrower feet | A similar locked-in feel rather than a roomier option |
Are Under Armour Golf Shoes Right For Me?
For most golfers, yes. Under Armour shoes are designed to be a comfortable fit for the vast majority of people. Order your usual UK size and you'll be fine. Here's how it breaks down:
| A good choice if… | Maybe not if… |
|---|---|
| You have a standard-width or slightly narrow foot | You regularly buy wide or extra-wide fittings |
| You like a snug, sock-like feel | You prefer a roomier, less locked-in fit |
| You want firm heel lockdown through the swing | You need extra volume for orthotics or thick socks |
| You're happy ordering your usual UK size | You want to choose from multiple width options in one model |
| You don't mind a 1–2 round break-in period | You want a shoe that feels finished from the first tee |
If the answers in the right-hand column sound more like you, it's not necessarily a no. We'd suggest starting with a mesh-upper model, and consider trying on a pair half a size up. It's also worth comparing with golf shoes from brands that tend to have roomier or more adjustable fits such as FootJoy and ECCO before committing.
Either way, try them on with your usual golf socks, check the heel lock and toe room, and give them a short break-in period before making a final judgement on the fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Under Armour golf shoes run big or small?
Most models run true to size. Spikeless styles like the Halo can fit slightly roomier in the toe box, while compression-mesh HOVR models feel snug through the midfoot and structured leather-style models may run slightly narrow.
Should I size up or down in Under Armour golf shoes?
If you have wider feet or prefer extra toe room, consider sizing up half a size. If you have narrow feet or want a more locked-in feel, true-to-size or even half a size down can work for mesh-upper models.
Are Under Armour golf shoes available in wide fit?
Width options are more limited than brands like FootJoy. Most Under Armour golf shoes come in standard width only, so those needing wide fit may want to size up or explore alternative brands.
How long does it take to break in Under Armour golf shoes?
Typically 1–2 rounds, especially for HOVR foam models, which mould slightly to the foot with wear.
What if I'm between two sizes?
Under Armour recommends going with the larger size. That's particularly worth doing on models with compression-mesh uppers, as these can fit snug through the midfoot.
Can I wear orthotics or insoles with Under Armour golf shoes?
The stretch-mesh uppers hug the foot without adding internal volume, so there's less room for orthotics or insoles than in a more structured shoe. If you need the extra space, sizing up half a size and using the insole to fill the volume is the usual workaround.
Do I need to size up for thicker golf socks?
Not usually, but it's worth being aware that golf socks are often thicker than everyday socks and can change how a shoe feels, so always try shoes on with the socks you'll actually wear on the course.
