UA’s Phantom Fore women’s golf shoe feels like a running shoe disguised as golf gear, and that’s exactly what makes it interesting. This is the first Under Armour shoe I have ever tested, so I was keen to find out if it’s a strong contender as one of the best women’s golf shoes for 2025.

It’s as light as anything, a similar weight to the Ecco Biom H5 Textile model and FootJoy Quantum. It has a sporty, streamlined shape and I really like the understated distant gray/stream colorway, which feels very clean and easy to wear with anything, while the upper has a unique sculpted feel with a textured, raised pattern.
It took a bit of a wiggle to get them on, although the pull at the collar and heel helped for easier on and off. Once they were on, my feet felt very secure in the knit-sock style. The overall shape is quite close-fitting through the mid-foot, but I didn’t feel cramped, and the soft interior lining added a nice touch. I like the high soft knit collar and the extra support from the TPU heel counter, but women with a high instep might prefer a looser fit around the ankle.

One of the standout features is UA’s HOVR cushioning system, which felt noticeably bouncy and supportive from the first step. There’s that subtle spring you get with well-designed running shoes, and it stayed consistent during the round, so my feet still felt fresh after 18 holes. If you usually walk the course or just want something that feels softer underfoot and is highly breathable, this shoe definitely delivers as one of the most comfortable golf shoes for women.
The spikeless sole in the stream (light blue) color has directional rubber studs and I found that it performed well in mixed conditions when I tested them on slightly damp fairways and firmer ground.

I was surprised to find out that the knit collar is NeverWet-treated and the upper has a waterproof membrane, as the Phantom Fore looks primarily like a summer shoe. An added benefit should you get caught in a downpour and you receive a one-year waterproof warranty. I also like the extra support around the heel thanks to the light blue TPU heel counter, which creates a striking visual contrast with gray.
This isn’t a shoe for someone looking for a classic leather…
