Comfort that exceeds all expectations
The knit upper on the Hyperflex BOA is able to fit like a glove. A good number of golf shoe experts agree that it's difficult to exaggerate how comfortable this golf shoe is:
- "Our 1st pick in"
- "Top 23% most popular golf shoes"
- "your feet and shoe feel like one unit"
The reviewers were also pleasantly surprised with the way the tightness of the BOA is spread out across the top of the shoe. It's an "all-encompassing fit," as described by one of the wearers. It is also reported to be free of pressure points.
No break-in period is required either. The shoe is claimed to be very comfortable right out of the box.
The BOA convenience
Nearly every single reviewer highlighted the BOA closure as one of the shoe's best-selling points.
Unlike traditional laces, it comprises highly durable strings made of stainless steel and two regulating knobs. The beauty of this system is that you can adjust the fit on the go with just one hand. In addition, it allows for micro-adjustments (1 mm) and indeed stays tight throughout the entire session.
Golf shoe experts were especially excited about the knob placed on the heel, which is not very common to see on golf shoes. As one of them says, it "plays a huge part in enhancing the fit."
Having your foot locked in place like that also greatly contributes to the feeling of stable during the swing and when walking.
Comfort that exceeds all expectations
The only downside of the shoe's upper pointed out by the reviewers is that it can be tricky to put on. As there is no separate tongue, the shoe's mouth can only open this much, even when the BOA is fully loosened.
Excellent traction
Excellent traction is provided by the combination of Pulsar LP cleats and nobs. One of the many satisfied golfers claims it to be "as stable a golf shoe as you're ever gonna find."
this one is anything but traditional
To make sure the shoe bends along with your foot, the Hyperflex uses flex grooves all throughout the bottom. That way, your feet do not get fatigued by the time you've walked up to the 18th hole.
This level of flexibility is paired well with the moderately firm sole. This creates a pretty stable platform with excellent ground awareness is fantastic. "Almost barefoot-like," describes one of the reviewers.
The cushioning also has enough softness to it to prevent fatigue but not so much so that it would feel squishy.
Keeps the foot nice and dry
The waterproof treatment with a 2-year guarantee provides the freedom to play in wet conditions. All of the reviewers are happy with the shoe's capacity to keep water at bay.
In addition, the coating also keeps the dust from sticking to the mesh, according to one of the experts.
A stylish futuristic silhouette
"Looks like a trainer from the future," says one of the reviewers in reference to the FJ Hyperflex BOA. Golfers agree that this shoe appears to be very modern not only in function but in the visual aspect too.
Despite the fact that Footjoy has historically made traditional golf shoes, this one is "anything but traditional."
The Hyperflex has indeed become something else from Footjoy.
