PAYNTR X 001 F SHOE £119.99
New on the scene, Payntr’s X 001 F spikeless shoe has made an immediate impact because of its stylish looks and a raft of performance features.
Already a successful sports footwear brand in the UK, this X 001 F shoe was built with the help of Mike Forsey, a footwear expert based in the US with more than three decades of experience working for the likes of Nike, Ping Collection and Under Armour. The result is a performancepacked spikeless shoe that has been designed to give golfers an advantage from the ground up.
UNIQUE TRACTION SYSTEM
Payntr’s unique 3D traction system is the fruit of detailed biomechanical insights, and we found the grip on offer to be fantastic. The shoe comprises a lightweight TPU outsole with specifically placed traction nubs that prevent rotational slipping, as well as a midsole that supports any horizontal weight shift. There’s also a Graphite Power Plate that provides a responsive feel so you can harness ground forces to generate power.
No matter the conditions or lie, this shoe provided a solid platform from which we could swing confidently and powerfully. We didn’t experience any of the unwanted rotation or slipping that can occur with some spikeless shoes.
ALL-DAY COMFORT
Although Payntr is approaching golf footwear as an item of equipment that can deliver performance benefits, it also understands the role that comfort plays. That’s why the X 001 F comes with a PMX Foam midsole for a soft and well-cushioned underfoot experience that offers support throughout the swing.
In addition, the Clarino microfibre upper is waterproof, lightweight and breathable, so our feet were protected from the elements while the in-shoe environment was in no way stuffy.
We were extremely impressed with the comfort and grip on offer, as well as the contemporary yet understated look of each of the three colour options – classic white (above), cool grey (below) and anthracite black.
As well as being blessed with a myriad of performance features, it’s a shoe that wouldn’t look out of place off the course as well. This added versatility should see it near the top of your list of shoes to try this season.
