Why am I so excited to review the new Payntr Eighty Seven SC golf shoes? It’s not only because this is Payntr’s first release in collaboration with new part-owner Jason Day. It’s also because the Eighty Seven SC breaks new ground for Payntr golf shoes.

I’ve tested various Payntr golf shoes in the past, and I’ve always come to the same conclusion: they’re excellent golf shoes but lack the waterproof warranty that gives me confidence to wear them in dicey spring and fall conditions.
