PAYNTR finally answered the question that many have been asking: What if a traditional golf shoe had modern performance?
For decades, golf was supposed to look a certain way: pleated pants, cotton polos and traditional blucher, brogue or saddle-style shoes that looked darn good but seldom felt that way. At least, that’s been my experience with what you’d bill as “traditional” golf footwear.
The game has progressed and so has technology. No longer are golf shoe manufacturers handicapped by the manufacturing processes of yesteryear.
Foams are better. Materials are getting better. Traction elements are improving.
The fact of the matter is that golf shoe performance has moved beyond the days of metal spikes and leather soles.
And that’s a good thing. Because if the goal of the game is to get the ball into the hole in as few strokes as possible, then why wouldn’t you want a golf shoe built with modern tech, manufactering and innovations?
For guys like me, it’s a no-brainer. I didn’t grow up playing the game and have no sentimental attachment to its traditional garb including footwear.
But for the old guard and the good ol’ boys, it can be hard to give up tradition. PAYNTR isn’t asking you to ditch tradition. Instead, they’re taking the traditional look and style that you’re unwilling to compromise on and have brought it “up to speed”, so to speak, in terms of modern performance attributes.
You know, the thing that ACTUALLY helps you play better golf.
Introducing the PAYNTR Reserve Classic collection.
Billed as a traditional golf shoe with modern performance, it fills a hole that has existed in the PAYNTR brand since Day One. All of PAYNTR’s shoes are precise performance equipment. But most have featured a more modern athletic styling that can be hit or miss for some people.
Now, they’ve built a shoe with the performance DNA and a style that more closely resembles the golf shoes you (not me) might have grown up playing in. A mock welt. Blucher construction. Elevated materials and subdued colors. The externals of a classic Bronco with the internals of a souped-up Mustang.
And that’s what will make it so dang successful.
Never mind that Min Woo Lee has been joyriding in a pair or that Sam Burns and a few other unnamed Tour pros are in love with it. Or that each shoe is packed with PAYNTR’s industry-leading tech including PMX Nitro Foam (Classic Tour RS only) or its stability-enhancing PMXSpeed PLT.
Or that the collection features three (yep, three) models including one that comes in at just $140.
That isn’t the selling point.
What makes the Reserve Classic collection so unique, so special, is that it’s built for everyone.
For the Tour pro grinding on his game for a living.
The everyday golfer who barely has time for a round every other weekend.
The traditionalist who thinks the game was better with ballata and persimmon.
Me, the guy who wishes that every shoe could feel and perform like a PAYNTR shoe.
And, hopefully, you: the discerning golfer who, rightfully so, expects a lot out of the gear you’re spending your hard-earned money on.
You can shop the brand-new PAYNTR Reserve Classic Collection, including the flagship Reserve Classic Tour RS, starting today at payntrgolf.com.
