PAYNTR Gets Patent for Its Innovative Golf Shoe Tech

PAYNTR just got a U.S. patent for its golf shoe. The patent number is 12,765,631 and was issued on Oct 20. Inventors Mike Forsey and Michael Glancy are listed. The shoe uses a carbon‑fiber plate inside a foam midsole. It also has a nitrogen‑filled midsole, a grippy outsole and a soft microfiber upper. The plate sits in a small groove and bends with the foot’s natural flex. When a golfer pushes off and turns, the plate pushes back and then springs, sending energy to the foot.

The brand started in 2021 with one shoe in three colors. It has become the fastest growing footwear brand in North America. Today it offers more than 200 styles. The parent company 8AM Golf owns part of PAYNTR. In 2024, Jason Day invested and spent ten months creating his own shoe, the Eighty‑Seven SC. Earlier this year, Min Woo Lee and Sam Burns signed on as ambassadors, and Lee launched his Chef RX RS model in September.

Many top players wear PAYNTR shoes without a deal. Justin Rose was the first to win a tournament in a pair, taking the FedEx St. Jude Championship last year. Shane Lowry, Ben Griffin and LPGA star Ashleigh Buhai also wear the shoes when they compete.

The patent shows the company’s focus on shoe design that matches how a golfer moves. It could give players more stability and extra power. Fans can now shop the newest PAYNTR shoe models.
