What we say:
We were very pleasantly surprised by the Mizuno NEXLITE 005 Boa. Naturally, we were expecting it to be almost the same as the NEXLITE 004 Boa. While in some ways they are very similar, there are enough improvements to allow for different identities. For starters, it's a bit more waterproof. This awesome waterproofing hasn't sacrificed any comfort or breathability, which makes the NEXLITE 005 Boa great for year-round play. The new traction system is also big plus. The spikes are easy to put on and remove, but thank goodness don't seem to come loose during play. In a nutshell, the NEXLITE 005 Boa is Mizuno's high-end, top performance golf shoe geared more towards mid level to advanced golfers who want a reliable, comfortable, durable and super lightweight golf shoe that they can wear in any type of weather. This is hands down one of the lightest golf shoes that offers amazing waterproofing.
