The Payntr Match Day SC Spikeless Golf Shoes are a perfect blend of comfort, technology, and style. Designed with input from major champion Jason Day, they offer immediate comfort out of the box, tour-level stability, and a unique carbon propulsion plate for added stability when swinging the golf club.
Whether you’re walking 18 in the rain or contending with dry, firm turf, these spikeless shoes deliver excellent traction no matter the conditions. Add in a sleek, minimalist look and easy maintenance, and I certainly think this is one of the best all-around shoes on the market.
PROS

- Waterproof and versatile in all conditions
CONS
- None
First Impressions
Out of the box, these are some of the cleanest golf shoes I’ve seen. The one-piece upper gives them a sleek, modern silhouette with no visible stitching, while the TPU outsole provides structure without sacrificing looks. Even before putting them on, you know they mean business.
They’re not just built for performance, they look great too. The minimalist upper is easy to clean, and even after multiple rounds, they’ve held their shape and style. A simple wipe with a towel brings them back to box-fresh condition.
On Course Testing
Comfort straight from the start is where I think these golf shoes really come into their own. They required no breaking-in period, I experienced comfort right from the off which in my experience is a rarity in performance footwear. I took them straight to Portugal for three consecutive rounds, I found they offered unwavering comfort, no rubbing, no blisters, just solid performance.
The spikeless design might raise eyebrows for golfers who play in all conditions, but these held their own. Whether in wet or dry conditions, or from awkward slopes, the grip remained reassuringly strong. For a spikeless shoe, that’s a standout feature.
One of the standout innovations is the Carbitex GearFlex propulsion plate embedded in the sole—a carbon strip that adds rigidity and energy return. It’s a clever addition, borrowed from the world of running shoes, designed to help players generate more speed from the ground up. And it works. The added responsiveness gives a genuine performance edge during the swing.

Coupled with a Riopene tongue and bootie construction, the lockdown fit is exceptional. The interior hugs your foot like a sock, offering both support and ground feel—two things you don’t always get together in golf shoes.
The 19th hole
Supportive, stylish, and seriously well-engineered, I think the Payntr Match Day SC Spikeless Golf Shoes are a top-tier choice for all golfers. They effortlessly combine performance with comfort. Despite being spikeless there is also no shortage of traction and stability. If you’re sceptical about going spikeless, these may just change your mind.
