Best Ecco Golf Shoes 2026

Ecco has long been known for producing some of the best golf shoes on the market, consistently delivering exceptional comfort year after year. However, comfort isn’t their only strength as they also create clean, stylish designs that are both eye-catching and modern, helping them stand out in an increasingly crowded golf shoe market.

The brand excels in crafting some of the best waterproof golf shoes and most breathable golf shoes available today. While Ecco is particularly well known for its spikeless models, it also offers an impressive selection of high-quality spiked options.

Whether you’re after a reliable pair of spiked shoes for year-round performance, thanks to their grip and durability, or you prefer a more versatile, sneaker-style design that works both on and off the course, Ecco has something to suit your needs.

Having tested and enjoyed many of their models over the years, we’ve put together this guide highlighting our favourites to help you find the right fit. Additionally if Ecco is not for you and you would rather go for a different model, then why not check out the best FootJoy golf shoes and also the best Under Armour golf shoes.

The Quick List

Best Ecco Golf Shoes

Best spikeless model

A recipient of the coveted Golf Monthly five-star review, the Biom C4 is one of the most technology-packed spikeless golf shoes we’ve tested, impressing us with its comfort, grip, style and breathability. It builds nicely on the foundations of the excellent Biom H4, while the updated sneaker-style design really stands out, with performance to match.

The Biom C4 features Ecco’s Exhaust Grid technology, which channels fresh air towards the sole of the foot to keep it cool. Combined with GORE-TEX Surround and a breathable Ortholite insole, this makes it one of the most breathable shoes we’ve tested. Another smart touch is the removable insole, making the Biom C4 of the best golf shoes for wide feet, as there was still the same amount of comfort and cushioning with the first insole removed.

Ecco has leaned further into a more athletic, modern look with this model, and it’s a move we fully support. The updated styling should appeal to a wider audience, as we believe this is one of the best-looking golf shoes on the 2026 market.

Best off course

Everyone loves a versatile pair of golf shoes and for this section we’ve chosen the Ecco Street 720s, which are designed to be worn all day and night, offering big city vibes with a birdie mentality.

The look is cool, simple and modern, meaning they pair well with jeans, shorts, golf trousers and more. You could even wear them to the gym if you wanted, which is something I’ve done and enjoyed. Ecco has done well to keep the branding minimal and subtle, but that doesn’t mean these are dull-looking shoes as there are some neat design touches that create a modern and versatile silhouette.

These aren’t a year-round option though, and we’d recommend looking at one of the best winter golf shoes if that’s what you need. Instead, I keep the 720s in my summer rotation to keep them looking fresh, as they can be a little harder to clean compared to other models on this list. That said, with plenty of cushioning and a GORE-TEX construction, they’re highly breathable, fully waterproof and a strong performer both on and off the course.

Most comfortable

The story of the LT1 golf shoes is comfort, and plenty of it.

Ecco has introduced a new midsole foam called Ecco LYTR alongside its renowned FLUIDFORM technology to deliver more cushioning and rebound than ever before. It certainly delivered in testing, with excellent cushioning that made walking the course a thoroughly enjoyable experience. In fact, we’d consider these among the best golf shoes for walking, helped further by their lightweight design.

The outsole is solid, though not quite exceptional, and we’d recommend the Ecco Biom G5 if you regularly play in heavy rain or very wet conditions. That said, the LT1 performs very well in dry or even slightly damp conditions. Overall, we think it lives up to Ecco’s claims of setting a new standard for lightness and comfort. If comfort is your top priority, the LT1 is definitely a model worth trying.

Best durability

Last year’s Biom H4 was a favourite of mine, as was 2022’s Biom C4, so I was excited to get my hands on the new H5. Straight out of the box, it delivers a slick, modern look that stands apart from many of the other spikeless golf shoes I’ve tested this year, blending Ecco’s classic silhouette with a more contemporary edge thanks to the unique outsole.

That outsole won’t be the grippiest you’ll ever use, though. Ecco’s Terra Traction System isn’t quite class-leading, but it still provided solid grip during testing. It’s a little more simplistic compared to models like the FootJoy Pro/SLX Carbon or Under Armour Drive Pro SL. If you mainly play in the summer or in dry conditions, it will do the job, but it’s not one I’d rely on as a year-round option.

As expected with Ecco, comfort levels are excellent. The seam-knit sock construction around the top of the foot feels great and when paired with the premium leather upper and well-cushioned sole, it makes for a very enjoyable shoe to wear. They’re also stylish enough to be worn on and off the course - always a bonus with spikeless designs. While they wouldn’t quite make my very top tier of Ecco golf shoes, if you’re after a comfortable, stylish option for dry conditions, they should definitely be on your shortlist.

Best spiked model

The addition of the BOA lacing system to the latest G5 takes it from a good to a great option for golfers seeking a comfortable, grippy shoe. While it may lack a little in the looks department compared to other models on this list, it’s a high-performance option that keeps you feeling firmly planted, which should inspire confidence and potentially lead to lower scores.

The first thing you’ll notice with the Biom G5 is the weight, or rather the lack of it. It comes in 18 grams lighter than the Biom H4, which is impressive given the addition of cleats on the outsole. Speaking of the cleats, there are six in total, positioned around the edges to deliver perimeter stability and excellent grip.

It also features Ecco’s GORE-TEX protection and the wipe-clean leather upper, making it a durable and reliable choice, particularly as a winter golf shoe.

Best classic design

The new Classic Hybrid offers a very different take on what a spikeless golf shoe can be. It features a beautifully embossed leather upper that feels rich and soft to the touch, while the classic brogue silhouette takes clear inspiration from Ecco’s dress shoe range. As a result, it feels more suited to a special round of golf rather than a casual evening knock with friends.

We were impressed by how lightweight the shoes are, as well as the softness of the Ortholite leather-covered insole. The combination of lightweight construction and soft materials makes the Classic Hybrid one of the most comfortable golf shoes on the market right now.

There are a couple of things to note. The shoes are water-repellent rather than fully waterproof, so they may not be the best option for winter conditions, and ankle support is slightly lacking compared to other models. That said, our feet still felt secure and well grounded during testing, just not quite to the same level as more performance-focused shoes.

How we test golf shoes

Our golf shoe testing methodology is centered around putting each model through multiple rounds in a variety of conditions. This allows us to build a clearer picture of overall performance in areas such as comfort, grip, stability, waterproofing and how the shoes actually look on the golf course. Every shoe listed above has been personally tested by a member of the Golf Monthly team.

Although Dan Parker leads our golf shoe testing, models are usually tested by one or more members of the Golf Monthly team to ensure the fairest and most thorough verdict possible. Thankfully, because we test so many different golf products, our team spends a huge number of days on the course each year. That means the shoes we review are often worn over as many as a dozen rounds in a range of weather and course conditions. Rather than wearing a shoe for just 18 holes before reaching a verdict, our reviews are based on thorough assessments of each model’s performance.

We test them in a wide range of scenarios, including uneven lies, inclement weather, and both links and parkland courses, to fully assess performance before writing our reviews and identifying strengths and weaknesses.

We believe this is the most effective way to test a golf shoe because using it in real-world conditions over several weeks allows us to see how it performs as variables change, such as weather, ground conditions, different stances and lies.

It also helps us pick up on the finer details, such as which brands fit small or large, which models may start to rub after 36 holes and which designs are versatile enough to be worn off the course, even for the drive home.

We take a very comprehensive approach to testing, regularly attending product launches and speaking with manufacturers’ R&D teams to better understand the latest technology. That said, manufacturers can’t buy a good review, as all of our verdicts are made by golfers, for golfers.

How to choose golf shoes

Comfort

As you’d expect, comfort is key when it comes to golf shoes. An uncomfortable pair is simply not worth wearing, so it’s always a good idea to try a few models on before buying to see what suits you best. Many designs now feature specific foam technologies or sole constructions aimed at keeping your feet comfortable throughout a full day on the course.

Grip/Stability/Traction

Spikeless shoe design has improved significantly in these areas. In the past, spiked models were the only reliable option for maintaining grip and stability in tricky lies or wet conditions. That’s no longer the case as many modern designs feature advanced traction patterns and strategically placed lugs to help keep your footing secure.

Looks

This is entirely subjective, but it’s important that you like the look of your golf shoes. There’s a model above to suit a wide range of styles and preferences.

Waterproofing

Most golf shoes these days offer some level of waterproof protection, although some perform better than others. If you often play in wet conditions, models like the G5, Biom H4 or S-Three are strong options for all-weather use.

Sizes

It’s worth checking brand websites to understand how sizing converts across different regions. Ecco’s sizing is fairly standard but it’s still a good idea to try a few models on to see what feels best for your feet.

Price

The last factor to consider is price. With the models above we have tried to find shoes at all different price points so if you want a cheap model, you can get one. Or if you want to spend more, you can do that too. Importantly there is something for everyone.
