Payntr X 005 F Spikeless Golf Shoe Review: First Impressions
This is my second pair of Payntr shoes. The first pair I packed straight out of the box on a trip to Orlando in January were fantastic to play and live in and as I logged countless miles around the Orange County Convention Centre, I couldn’t believe how comfortable they were.
The brand has since grown on me and despite wearing those shoes out teaching on the driving range, I was very happy when another pair turned up for me to review. The X 005 F Payntr golf shoes look great, are terrifically light and I immediately love how the heel of the shoe hugs my heel, I feel locked in and ready to go when I have them on.
On Course Testing
I first wore these shoes on the driving range to hit balls in and test some new irons I had received. The first thing you notice when putting on a pair of Payntr shoes is how they feel like the old slippers you have had for years and have moulded perfectly to your feet. The Clarino Trivela ™️ microfibre upper delivers lightweight support and flexibility.
Out on the course, I was really impressed with how little I slipped in the shoe. I have somewhat poor footwork in the swing, which means I slip in spikeless shoes all the time. The Payntr X005 spikeless shoes offer traction in three dimensions with the pattern of the spikes so I didn’t have any issues. You also have the benefit of the carbon plate in the shoe which provides excellent stability.
One of the mornings I wore these shoes it was very dewy and despite these shoes not being waterproof guaranteed, they do have a never wet solution that offers water resistance, and I can confirm my feet did not get wet. This does however probably limit them to being a summer shoe.
The 19th hole
With these being a sporty, modern design, they are more for the golf course than they are also suitable for the pub away from your local golf club. I think they look brilliant with shorts or a smart pair of golf trousers and are for a player who seeks maximum performance. They clean up well after the round, so with a bit of care, they will last for many seasons.
The Payntr X 005 F spikeless golf shoes are a brilliant option for golfers looking for a new pair of spikeless golf shoes for the rest of the summer. The performance is brilliant, and for the price you cant get another pair of shoes that have the same amount of technology in them. Once you slip on your first pair of Payntr shoes it will be hard for you to ever go anywhere else.

He also loves his golf equipment and analysing the data of the latest clubs on the market using launch monitors, specialising in blade irons and low-spinning drivers despite having a chronically low ball flight.
Although Jack has no formal journalism training, He has been reading What's In The Bag articles since he started playing at 12 and studying golf swings since his dad first filmed his swing to reveal one of the worst over-the-top slice swings he reckons has ever been recorded, which set him off on the path to be a coach. His favourite club ever owned was a Ping G10 driver bought from a local top amateur with the hope that some of the quality golf shots would come with it (they didn't), and worst was a Nike SQ driver he only bought because Tiger was using it.
Jack is a member of Sand Moor Golf Club and regularly gets out on the golf course to prepare for tournaments. Jack uses a TaylorMade BRNR Mini driver, a half set of TaylorMade P7MB irons, MG4 wedges and a TaylorMade TP Reserve putter.
