Payntr X 001 F Golf Shoe
Payntr Golf has really carved out a niche for itself in the golf shoe market. Designed with a focus on both aesthetics and performance, the Payntr X 001 F promises a comfortable and stylish ride around the course without sacrificing stability or traction. Available in four different colorways, you can get the X 001 F in both standard and wide fits at a reasonable price point.
The Looks
The Payntr X 001 F has a sneaker-inspired silhouette that departs from the traditional “bulky” look of many golf shoes. Its upper is constructed with a “Clarino microfiber” material and is available in a variety of colorways including two different greys, white/blue/pinkish-red, and black/gray/white. You can also get the X 001 F with a mesh upper in certain colorways. There’s a subtle Payntr logo on the tongue, and fun touch in the heel pull giving a total 90s bracelet vibe. While some golfers might prefer a more classic look, the X 001 F’s clean design is sure to appeal to those who value a balance between a more modern style and functionality.
Comfort Level
Right out of the box, the Payntr X 001 F feels impressively comfortable. Like, “really took me by surprise” comfortable. There’s good breathability, keeping your feet cool and dry throughout the round. The dual-density PMX foam midsole offers a soft and responsive cushioning experience. This made the shoe really comfortable over long wears and walking on the course. The Payntr X 001 F comes in both medium and wide width options, ensuring a proper fit for a greater range of golfers. As far as I could tell, the X 001 F fits comfortably true to size.
On-Course Performance
One of the key features of the Payntr X 001 F is its traction system. The TPU outsole is equipped with strategically placed lugs that provide exceptional grip on a variety of surfaces, including wet grass and uneven terrain. I felt confident in my footing throughout the swing, even on downhill lies.
The shoe also has a graphite “propulsion plate” embedded in the midsole. This plate is designed to transfer energy more efficiently throughout the swing, potentially adding a little power to your shots. Really, this plate helps provide more response from the ground on your shot so you feel stable and balanced.
It’s important to note that the Payntr X 001 F is a spikeless design. While some golfers might prefer the added security of traditional spikes, some prefer some of the freedom that spikeless shoes offer. In my opinion, the X 001 F won’t come across as “grippy” as a spiked shoe, but they have a high level of traction for a spikeless shoe. I didn’t experience any slipping or balance issues from this shoe.
Final Thoughts – Payntr X 001 F Golf Shoe
The Payntr X 001 F golf shoe is a compelling option for golfers who value a balance between style, comfort, and performance. It delivers a modern aesthetic that’s incredibly comfortable and performs well on the golf course. At $160, the X 001 F golf shoe is an impressive value that more than keeps up with its competition.
