Here. Good fit for guys with Flintstone feet and always super comfortable. We play first off and they are always dry and still stick with no slipping for me.

If you dont wear Ecco then eff you!



I have a wide foot and Ecco is the only shoes that works for me. Have worn them for over 10 years without ever wanting to wear a different brand.

Fellow Flintstone Brother. I posted before I read your response.

Hard to beat footjoy or ECCO. Some golf shoes have insufficient structure and your feet can get tired over a 2 to 3 day tournament. The sole needs to have some firmness and not too flexible. Good arch supports are important to me being a senior golfer.

Google says water proof

Website says water resistant... have u played in the rain/wet conditions with them?

Looking for something comfortable, light, and water proof...leaning FJ

Ecco Biom with gore Tex is water proof and comfortable.

Yes, waterproof. The one catch is that a couple of models have a more breathable mesh tongue (it's gray and easy to spot). So for those, it's possible for water to seep on the tongue. But the rest of the shoe is 100% and those without a mesh tongue are 100% overall. Honestly, my favorite pair have been the 003's which also happen to be the cheapest pair. They do not have the mesh tongue either.

I used to be a FJ guy, but I think their soles over the years has declined. Just not a good cushioned footbed compared to competitors IMO, so didn't work at all for my plantar jssues. I also have had Eccos before and was less than impressed vs how folks rave about them. Wanted to like them. Didn't. But everyone's feet are different. Mine have definitely become very picky.

FJ hyperflex for the win

I recently purchased a pair of Johnston & Murphy XC4 golf shoes through Amazon and have been very, very happy with them. Very comfortable and stylish as well. Just got my 2nd pair today. They're a little less than $200.00!

I wear these on the course. Very comfortable but if you are a walker they take a little longer than normal to break in. Gotta wear thick socks for the first 6-8 rounds

Walked 4 rounds this week in California in my New Balance 997 spiked shoes. They felt great. Not stylish at all though

---

No style for me either. I've been wearing the new balance links sl shoe for a few years and like them a lot, but I'm gonna go over to Scheels today on my lunch break and try on a pair of these Payntr's. Need a new pair of shoes for a Nebraska golf trip in 3 weeks.

Where are you playing in Nebraska? I'm meeting a buddy in Iowa for the corn/Michigan game in September and we need a few suggestions on courses to play while there

Wild Horse on our way and then a weekend at Landmand Golf Club.

Did they help explain the main difference between the 02 and 03? I'm struggling outside of main material on what the difference is.

I have both. Other than 002 being real leather vs 003 being synthetic (which is lighter and holds up great), the only difference is the 002 has the breathable mesh tongue while the 003 has a solid tongue. Otherwise, they are basically the same. Sole, support, traction, etc is otherwise all essentially the same

Bought these last week after randomly trying them on at PGA Superstore. I had just bought a brand new pair of footjoy so definitely did not go in there looking to spend $270 on another pair of shoes. That's how comfortable they are. Played in them twice now

Do they give you post-round BJs at that price?

I haven't tried the newest generation like the ones you have, but I've had several pairs of older models and I agree that they are probably the most comfortable golf shoe money can buy. They are still holding up well and wear them for my walking rounds in the summer.

My only knocks on them is that the molded knobs on the bottom of the previous generation wore down faster than I anticipated. MUCH faster than the original versions of the biom hybrid.

I believe the model you bought has a different outsole than the previous generation which I have. I will be curious how they hold up for you.

Puma golf shoes are solid. More of a tennis shoe feel kinda guy vs. the hard cased Adidas/FootJoy. What I enjoy apart from the comfort is that the tongue stays centered resulting in a good fit. I've had a number of FJ's that slide to towards the ankle which makes the shoe feel loose.

---

I switched to Pumas a few years back and completely agree. Very comfortable to walk 18

These things are the most comfortable shoe I've ever put on, can't wait to see how they hold up…thanks, Danny.

Awesome! Durability has been great for me. I walk 2 rounds per week

As a note, there is 25% off the 001F today from Payntr. I think someone said they went a 1/2 size big on that? So if I'm a 10 Nike and 9.5 Adidas, I guess I go 10?

Does Payntr run narrow, standard, or wide? I'm a slightly wide foot...nothing crazy but I will also get torn up if a shoe is narrow.

I tried on a pair of stock 001's at Scheels a while back and they were tight on me. Was planning to order the wides off the Payntr website as they didnt have any in stock at the store.

I'd say standard, but some models do come in wide

Everyone's feet are different so just try a bunch on. I have G4's and they have very little arch support just FYI. I will wear them if not walking. My favorites are Ecco and Johnston Murphy XC4 (best I have ever owned). Walk 36 holes in those and feet don't hurt. I have had Footboy, Nike, Adidas and all hurt my feet. But i have very high arches and wide feet.

Ecco S-Three. Bought the shoes wore them once then walked 6 rounds in 6 days in Scotland. Best golf shoe I have ever had.

If anyone is interested I have a pair of XC4s for sale. I have not posted them in the classifieds. Stumbled across the thread. They are basically brand new. Worn them to work maybe a dozen times but have never seen a course. For whatever reason, didn't like the way they fit me after I got them home. Still have original box packaging. 10M.

$50 plus shipping. Please let me know if you have any questions.
