I have written and read quite a bit about Payntr golf shoes this year. From the men’s side. They performed exceptionally well in testing and continued to pop up in conversations about traction, stability and underfoot support. For some reason, it never occurred to me to check if Payntr made women’s golf shoes.
But a few months ago, I went looking, and sure enough, Payntr makes women’s golf shoes. After all the hype surrounding the brand, I was excited to try them. Not to spoil this “review”, but I can tell you that I will not stop at just one pair. I already have my eye on a different color.
The pair I tried
The model I tested is that Payntr Sport Classic LE (Women’s). It’s positioned as a crossover style golf shoe, but it’s built with real performance materials. You get a full-grain leather upper, a waterproof+ breathable membrane, a TPU outsole designed for three-dimensional traction, and a PMXNITROGEN+ midsole paired with an Ortholite footbed.
Right now, my golf is a little different than it used to be. I’m not playing competitively. I want a shoe that I can hop on the cart in, play a few holes with my family, and then stop at the club without feeling like I’m wearing something too stiff or heavy.
That said, I still care a lot about performance. If one shoe slips, I’m out. I’ve done a lot of work to improve torque and ground forces to wear something that can’t handle torque.
These shoes handled both sides of that equation better than I expected.
Comfort that matters
I’m not afraid to say it: this is the most comfortable golf shoe I’ve ever owned.
The support doesn’t feel soft in a collapsing way. The Ortholite footbed compresses less than five percent so that the feel remains stable all round. The PMXNITROGEN+ midsole delivers noticeable energy return without feeling unstable.
I want to keep these after I’m done playing. Honestly, I want Payntr to come out with a women’s running shoe. I’ll jump right into it.
Cooler than me (But I’m okay with that)
I’m used to more traditional looking golf shoes, so when I first put them on, I had a “are these cooler than me?” moment.
They may still be. But I can pull them off.
The Sport Classic LE has a clean, modern look that works on and off the course.
Rolling support you can trust
This is where the performance side really comes into play.
TPU outsole provides multi-directional traction and stays stable while rolling. I never felt like my legs were slipping or trailing behind my body. The underfoot support is stable without feeling restrictive, just what I want in a golf shoe.
Final thoughts
If, like me, you didn’t realize Payntr made women’s golf shoes, I’d recommend checking them out. The Sport Classic LE has earned a permanent place in my rotation.
