Portland, OR – PAYNTR Golf, the performance-driven innovator in golf footwear, proudly announces the expansion of its acclaimed training footwear line with the launch of the Trainer X 001 LE, a limited-edition, full-grain leather training shoe engineered for all-day wear and versatile performance. Building on the success of the original X Trainer XC 001, which introduced a new benchmark for innovation and technology in training shoes, the Trainer X 001 LE delivers premium comfort, heritage style, and PAYNTR Golf’s signature performance-enhancing technologies. The Trainer X 001 LE will retail for $160.00.

“As we continue to expand our training category, the Trainer X 001 LE brings a new level of craftsmanship and sophistication to the PAYNTR Golf line,” said Mike Forsey, Co-founder and President of PAYNTR Golf. “This shoe offers the same propulsion, grip, and underfoot technology our athletes have come to expect, now elevated with a rich full-grain leather upper for a more refined, lifestyle-driven aesthetic.”

Built with the same DNA that made the X Trainer XC 001 a breakthrough in multi-surface performance, the Trainer X 001 LE integrates PMXSpeedPLT, PAYNTR Golf’s proprietary propulsion plate, designed to support efficient energy transfer and explosive movement. The PMXNitro+ midsole, infused with PAYNTR’s lightweight and responsive PMX Foam, delivers maximum energy return and plush cushioning, while the PMX Grip Lite rubber outsole ensures confident traction across varied terrain. A molded Ortholite® footbed enhances step-in comfort and breathability.

Key features of the Trainer X 001 LE include:

  • Full Grain Leather Upper for durability, classic styling, and structured support
  • PMXSpeedPLT Propulsion Plate for enhanced energy return and movement efficiency
  • PMX Grip Lite Rubber Outsole for lightweight, multi-directional traction
  • PMXNitro+ Foam® Midsole for responsive cushioning and all-day comfort
  • Molded Ortholite® Footbed for breathability and long-lasting comfort

“The Trainer X 001 LE is a true fusion of performance and lifestyle,” added Michael Glancy, Co-founder and Creative Director at PAYNTR Golf. “It’s built for athletes who demand more from their training footwear, whether in the gym, on the course, or off the clock.”

The Trainer X 001 LE is available now at www.payntrgolf.com and select retail partners. Studio and lifestyle images are available upon request.
