What we say:

 

The UA HOVR Drive GORE-TEX is the new and improved version of the original UA HOVR Drive. Although much of the technology remains the same, their are some significant upgrades. The biggest of these upgrades is the GORE-TEX membrane, which ever so slightly improves waterproofing and breathability. Although the traction system is very similar, the HOVR Drive GORE-TEX is slightly more low profile, enhancing feel and stability. Not only does the HOVR Drive GORE-TEX look cool, it boasts amazing comfort as well. We weren't sure how much of the HOVR technology was just a marketing ploy, but it really does add lightweight comfort, which makes this shoe really good for walking year-round. We say "year-round" because it has very effective waterproofing, and it won't overheat unless you play in extreme summer heat. Along with all this awesomeness comes even more, in the way of traction and support. As with some of our other favorite UA golf shoes, the HOVR Drive GTX has Rotational Resistance Traction, which pretty much eliminates any chance of slipping. What else can we say? We have only the highest praise for this golf shoe, and recommend it to advanced golfers who can appreciate all it has to offer.
