Payntr Golf Shoes

[Chilidog]

Looks like a new shoe brand has hit the market. Has vibes of a G4 shoe. Will be interesting to see the price point.

Not getting the GFore shoe vibes. More like a sportier, mesh version of Eccos in my eyes. But besides that I actually think they look pretty sweet not going to lie. I probably won’t pull the trigger on them unless the reviews are phenomenal, but will definitely pay attention because I love the looks. 

[Drudersh]

Reviews starting to roll out and they are getting some good press. The first model being released looks like a spikeless and slightly more modern version of the TW '13, not a bad thing IMO. I've been wearing Ecco's for about 8 years now but these have my attention as a possible alternative. 

[Pilk21]

Been looking for a new spikeless shoe, decided to gamble and preordered a pair of these to try.  Looks like they’ll ship starting 4/1/21

[Davidv]

Not a bad looking shoe price is reasonable just not thrilled with the limited color choices.

anyone have a chance to try these?  i am on the verge of trying a spikeless shoe- have only worn spikes.

very curious about the traction, and feel, etc.

the earliest they will ship is 4/1?  I ordered this past weekend and did not see anything to that effect 

[Pilk21]

I ordered the wide, said 4/1/21 on those, looks like the normal width is in stock now though

ok that makes sense, thanks.  mine will ship by EOD today.

very curious about these shoes...kinda fell in love over the internet instead of buying the eccos i had my eyes on in person

 

How would anyone compare a shoe like this to a normal spiked shoe?  Traction?  Feel?  i hope i will enjoy these, but also still a little apprehensive about the switch

Anyone have any updates on how they like these?  Very interested in trying them.

Yes we need some reviews of these!

Payntr shoes arrived. Insanely comfortable. I did get 1/2 size up and they seem perfect. I have not played yet but already a believer...

 

 

[want2bpro]

I have played 3 or 4 rounds in these- my first spikeless shoe.  One day was pretty wet from rain the previous day.

Have not slipped once, they are very comfortable.  the only thing I could say if I was searching for a negative is that my right shoe (i swing righty) loosens a LOT more than my left from rotating/swinging.

 

other than that, i really like these shoes.

Indeed it could be a shoe issue but it also can be fixed with various lacing methods. I know it sounds crazy but I always do a heel lock shoe lacing of golf shoes

Payntr shoe update:

 

One round in...I shot 35 on front 9! Was it the shoes? Anyway, one of my better ball striking rounds ever. Finished 76 and putted horribly. So that's good.

 

Never once slipped or even thought about my footing..That's what a good shoe will do.

 

Only issue is the insole is useless! I put in a 'superfeet' insole as I do with most all of my shoes as, let's face it, there is ZERO arch support in shoes anymore.

 

So, Payntr folks, if you're analytics take you to this post; Great shoe but spend a few bucks on the insole or better yet, at this price give 2 insoles for wearers to chose from.

 

 

[Pilk21]

Had a shipping delay on mine, can say their customer support was very quick to get back to me, and offered a nice discount on future purchases, which seems very likely after my first round.  Walked 18 in these the day after I received them in wet conditions, very comfortable and traction was great.  I normally wear a 12 in Adidas, and the 12 in Paynter fit a touch more loose than those. 

[cbyard11]

Looks like a mix of Puma/Fj to me

[Ruleschamp]

Looks like they were made for guys with really, really wide feet, almost like an Ecco knock-off.   Do any retailers carry these?

 

[vman]

Currently wearing a pair of these. Passed the waterproof test and comfortable straight out of the box. Need a 1/2 size up in these I would say, also echo somebody above that the insoles are just thin rubbish which I've replaced. Nice sporty styling, comfy and good traction. I wouldn't class them as  a wide fit, no wider than M fit Footjoys to me.

[Drudersh]

I've now played 3 rounds in my Payntr's and am extremely impressed. I've been wearing Ecco's exclusively for the last 5 years and have been wearing the Biom Cool Pro's for the last 2. I'm a 46 in Ecco's, ordered a size 12 and they are definitely snug. I took the insole out all together and have actually found them to be very comfortable without it. I suppose the other option if you prefer a supportive insole would be to order a 1/2 size up and then put a more substantial one in there. 

 

The first two rounds I played were early morning and the grass was soaked with dew, no issues at all in terms of waterproofing and the grip was excellent. Yesterday was a hot/dry/firm day and the shoes were excellent again. They seemed to breath pretty well and again no issues with slipping. I actually find them to be a little better in terms of grip than the Ecco's. They are a more flexible than the Ecco's but the larger heel makes them feel very stable despite the added flex and you really feel connected to the ground. 

 

All told I think this is a great shoe, I hope they do well and continue to produce golf shoes going forward.

How big is the toe drop on the Paytr compared to the Ecco?

Definitely a low drop shoe similar to the Ecco's I've worn in the past. 

[sharkiesj]

I noticed they were 25% off last week at $120 but now they’re back up to $160.  

[Alan_Tom]

These shoes look really nice. I have been a big G4 footwear guy. Not allowed because of spam has a pretty good write up on the shoes too!

[Minarets]

Any more folks wearing them?

I actually just sent mines back. I wear a size 12 and when I tried them on they were snug in the toe. Unfortunately, I'm hesitant of ordering a size 13 (no 12 1/2s). Additionally, I had to pay for shipping to return. I will wait before ordering again. 

[jah7838]

The local course that I practice at has these shoes in the clubhouse.  I've tried them on and I really like how they feel.  I've thought about getting them, but I don't like playing in spikeless shoes.  I don't have a miniscus in my left knee, so having spikes gives a better feeling of not slipping. 

 

Saying that, I've hit balls in spikeless shoes this year, and between some Eccos and other Adidas Tour360s, I've considered going the spikeless route.  The traction on the Payntr shoes look like I'd have no issues with slipping.  

[dunkotime]

Have 5 rounds or so in them.  Comfortable and no traction issues.  Might switch out the insoles for something with more cushion.  I went a half size up and that was the right call.

Are those medium or wide width?
