If you’re eyeing a new pair of golf shoes for the 2026 season, you might want to pay attention to what the pros are wearing. The Payntr Jason Day Eighty Seven SC recently earned the distinction of being the best-selling shoe at Fairway Jockey for 2025, and for good reason. But what makes these shoes so special?
The Technology Behind the Traction
Payntr is a relatively new player in the golf shoe game, launching its first pair in 2021. However, the brand has quickly gained traction with both professional and recreational players, becoming the fastest-growing footwear brand in North America. The secret? Every Payntr shoe model incorporates a propulsion plate, engineered to help golfers harness ground reaction forces and deliver more speed and power to the ball during the downswing.
Why more top pros are wearing this innovative golf shoe — by choice
Day’s Dedication to Design
Jason Day was an early adopter of Payntr, becoming an equity partner in the company last year. His signature shoe, the Eighty Seven SC, underwent a rigorous 10-month wear-test by Day himself before being released to the public. The initial production run sold out in a remarkable 90 minutes. Day isn’t alone in his preference for Payntr; a significant number of players on the PGA Tour, LPGA, and PGA Tour Champions are now choosing to wear the brand, including Justin Rose, Denny McCarthy, and Mike Weir.
Built for All Conditions
The Jason Day Eighty Seven SC isn’t just about power; it’s also about comfort and durability. The shoe features a waterproof yet breathable outer membrane, making it suitable for play in both wet and dry conditions.
