Questions and answers
- Which is better for walking 18 holes?
- The Asics Gel-Kayano Ace 2. Its Gel cushioning and lighter athletic build are made for walking, while the PAYNTR is a firmer leather shoe.
- Which keeps feet dry in wet weather?
- The PAYNTR Sport Classic. It is listed as waterproof with a genuine leather upper; the Asics is not specified as waterproof.
- Is the PAYNTR worth the extra $43.99?
- Only if you play in wet conditions or want a leather shoe you can wear off the course. For dry-weather golf, the Asics costs less and cushions more.
- Which has better grip on the course?
- The Asics. It has a spiked golf outsole; the PAYNTR uses a casual sole aimed at versatility rather than maximum turf grip.
- Do both come in wide sizes?
- No. The Asics is listed in standard D width and the PAYNTR in medium width, so neither offers a wide fit here.
- Which lasts longer?
- The PAYNTR's genuine leather upper should hold up better in wet conditions. The Asics' mesh upper and spikes wear with heavy use, though spikes can be replaced.
