Payntr has gone from a start-up golf shoes brand to a true leader on the course. They’ve been able to bring classic styles back while infusing them with exceptional comfort. No longer are they the shoes of Jason Day, but with multiple PGA Tour players wearing their along with common weekend golfers, they continue to create shoes that check all the boxes: comfort, stability, cushion and traction.

The new Payntr Reserve Classic RS Golf Shoes offer everything a golfer wants in terms of performance while keeping the style classic and casual. These spiked shoes offer incredible traction that amateurs or pros can wear for any round of golf from the weekend boys outing to the serious club championship. The balance of comfort, stability, performance and traction make them easy to wear for every round of golf.

This is my official Payntr Reserve Classic RS Golf Shoes Review.

Payntr Reserve Classic RS Golf Shoes

Payntr Comfort

The Payntr Reserve Classic RS Golf Shoes have that out-of-the-box ready to wear comfort. They continue to make a classic looking shoe that has exceptional padding and comfort. These microfiber uppers look like leather, but they flex like cloth. They place thick padding around the heel area which makes them really comfortable with every step. The cushion under each step is soft enough to reduce shock, but firm enough that they don’t feel squishy when swinging. It is that balance that turns the comfort into performance.

There are two parts under the foot that make these shoes so comfortable. The ORTHOLITE Footbed and the PMXFoam Midsole which work together to retain form so that they fit your foot the same each time you put them on, but yet respond to every step and movement with cushion and stability.

Payntr Classic Style

The Payntr Reserve Classic RS Golf Shoes have a smooth look to them. They pair with shorts or pants and can be worn at the fanciest of country clubs or the plainest of munis. The white look is clean with minimal details, but just enough to add some style. The grey accents by the laces and the black and orange racing stripe down the heel is subtly stylish. If you want a classic look, but exceptional comfort they are going to be the brand of choice. No one else makes this combo of style and comfort.

Payntr Spiked Traction

While I am a huge fan of spikeless shoes, I recognize that for serious rounds of golf or certain conditions, golf spikes still offer the best traction. The Payntr Reserve Classic RS Golf Shoes have exceptional traction that grips the course no matter what the conditions. The PMXSPEED Plate propulsion plate allows you to grip the ground and harness the transitional energy from ground to body for big swings. There has been more focus on speed and power starting from the ground up. These shoes can make maximum use of that force without slipping or sliding.

Their comfort, support, stability and cushion all work in unison so that can make full use of your swing power without fear of slipping. This combo of soft yet firm paired with spikes mean you have a comfortable walk for 18 holes, but can really “swing for the fences” while wearing these shoes.

Payntr Performance

Golf shoes often go unnoticed during a round of golf unless something is wrong. I wasn’t always paying attention that I was wearing my Payntr Reserve Classic RS Golf Shoes because I was playing well, focused on my game and my feet were comfortable and gripping the course on every swing. To me that is the sign of a great shoe. I could really go after the ball on every swing, but walking 18 holes was comfortable from the first step to the last step. I’d probably wear these every day if they were spikeless. They are waterproof too, so even if your round encounters rain or dew, your feet will be dry.

Summary

The Payntr Reserve Classic RS Golf Shoes check every box: comfort, cushion, stability, traction and performance. They do it all while staying lightweight too because of the microfiber material. They come in 3 colorways: grey, white or black so that you can match them to your style. They just restocked these shoes so you can enjoy one of the best spiked golf shoes of 2026. The combination of performance and style make them great for professionals or amateurs.
