In keeping with the times, computer data and swing biomechanics were used to develop PAYNTR Golf shoes. They have created a modern golf shoe that comfortably supports the foot, plus it enhances performance to maximize impact speed. The water impermeable design will also keep you feet dry in the rain, or on those dewy morning rounds.

 

Based in Portland, Oregon, PAYNTR Golf was started by David Paynter, a former professional cricketer and Mike Forsey, an industry executive with experience at several of the leading footwear companies.

 

Building on what they learned designing shoes for cricket they felt their shoe would work well for golf and had a belief that the global market was ready for an innovative golf shoe.

 

 

The shoe features a TPU outsole with a foam midsole for a cushioning affect, plus a graphite “Propulsion Plate” that helps to control the rotational energy of a golf swing. The design was specifically engineered to help recreational players make more efficient use of ground force.

 

This three-dimensional traction provides golfers the ability to better control linear motion, resist rotational movement, and more effectively harness vertical ground forces to produce more power.

 

A water impermeable upper, flexible textile base with Clarino microfiber skin, are treated with a superhydrophobic NeverWet solution. Our black colorway is an engineered mesh, TPU threads give support, & nylon thread for lightweight flexibility.

 

Currently the shoes are only available online at PAYNTRGOLF.com website.

 

We found these shoes to be very comfortable with an excess of lateral support for even the most aggressive swing. Comparison with competitive shoe models is difficult but PAYNTR’s pricing is in the range of similar performance shoes.
