PAYNTR X-006 RS Spiked Golf Shoes

from Payntr

What we say...

PAYNTR’s X-006 RS proves that classic style and cutting-edge performance can go hand in hand.

Stepping into the world of golf shoe excellence, PAYNTR presents the X-006 RS Spiked Golf Shoes, a strong contender for one of the best golf shoes on the market. Merging classic looks with cutting-edge tech, they exemplify PAYNTR’s pedigree in crafting some of the best spiked golf shoes around.

Known for equipping golfers with biomechanically engineered footwear, PAYNTR doesn’t just slap together a shoe; it’s a deliberate creation for optimized performance, especially over softer, wetter terrain.

Sure, they pack a bit more heft, which is often typical for those of us rocking size 11 anyway, but don’t let that detail mislead you. The design features sturdy, refined aesthetics with smart trim complemented by PAYNTR’s stylish logo.

In terms of legacy, while brands like Skechers, FootJoy, and Adidas might dominate the mainstream, PAYNTR golf shoes have now carved their niche with a robust offering that won’t shy away from tech or comfort. This shoe, in particular, may not boast the sleekness of some competitors, but when it comes to reliable comfort and technical prowess, slip into a pair of these, and the tech practically says: “Let’s go play some golf.”

Comfort: 4/5

The comfort you get from the PAYNTR X-006 RS is like slipping into a custom-built armchair for your feet. Inside, cushioned laces settle easily onto the tongue, the snug heel wraps softly around your foot, and not a blister in sight, even for an 18-hole round right out of the box. They’ve nailed the width, plenty of room for your feet to breathe, and the padding? Perfectly placed, enhancing that supple underfoot cushioning. For golfers who sometimes grimace at shoe laces that are either too short or too long, these are Goldilocks-level perfect.

Performance: 4/5

Talk traction, and the PAYNTR X-006 RS goes toe-to-toe (pun fully intended) with just about any shoe out there. Those Softspikes Tour Flex Pro spikes grab the turf like a bear hug, stabilizing every swing. Rainy rounds? No problem, this grip is ready for a waterslide, thanks to the PMX Foam midsole and Clarino microfibre upper. These bad boys just chew through terrains that would make lesser shoes quiver. They’re heavier than some, but in exchange, you get that rigid, firm base, meaning every time you get ready to swing, you know you’ll have solid ground beneath you.

Durability: 4/5

Equipped to endure whatever the seasons toss your way, these shoes are your trusty sidekick for those days when the course seems like an obstacle course. Built not just to last, but to look good doing it, the X-006 RS stands up to mud and moisture with no fuss. Their easy-to-clean material means no more frantic scrubbing post-round. Overall, these shoes laugh in the face of punishing conditions while retaining their polished allure.

Style & Design: 4/5

The X-006 RS takes golf shoe elegance and adds a touch of modern panache. While my black and white color scheme may not scream innovation, the play of the PAYNTR logo and a hint of vibrant green on the sole gives just enough pop to turn heads without overdoing it. They’re proudly more like boots than trainers, but therein lies their charm, to which any golfer who appreciates a built-for-purpose golf shoe will tip their cap.

Technology & Features: 5/5

If tech were on a menu, the PAYNTR X-006 RS is the dish you’d want. With innovations like PMX Foam midsole and Neverwet hydrophobic layers, these shoes don’t compromise. The microfibre upper delivers flexibility and lightness, letting your foot glide and perform. The Soft Spikes Tour Flex Pro, with their three degrees and ten points of contact, are like having a secret weapon against all courses. Plus, ease-of-use features like their slip-on design and smartly placed pull loops make them a pleasure to put on and take off.
