The shoes showcase Ecco’s Tri-Fi-Grip giving 3 different zones within the sole. One for stability (yet without the feeling of rigidity), one to promise durability and a shoe that will last and the final one for rotation - their rotation plate. This makes them flexible in multiple directions giving an almost barefoot feel and ease of movement throughout the swing. 

Ecco based this BIOM technology on the natural barefoot shape/movement so as well as comfort whilst walking the shoes really grab the ground as you coil up into your backswing. Walking all day in these wouldn’t be an issue. They felt like a natural extension of the human body providing a natural foot position. The Biom Natural Motion technology in the sole offers a spring and fabulous shock absorbency.

Stunning colour with matching laces these shoes are a real show stopper

Anyone playing in hot conditions would feel fresh as a daisy at the end of a long day on the course, the Ortholite foam insole feels airy and seems to breathe beautifully. It’s also removable and washable which is always handy. It is extremely easy to take the inner sole out and add it back in which isn’t always the case. 

By removing you gain an additional option of custom fit when it comes to getting the sizing just right. This added width will be a comfort to some gofers and allows room for an extra pair of thermal socks when the temperature plummets! Really very intuitive. 

When presented with a few muddy puddles the eye catching coral coloured leather easily showed up specks of dirt. Though the shoe is supremely waterproof thanks to the GORE-TEX it looks and feels like a Summer shoe. Not a sticky foot to be seen. Dry and happy feet after a round during our bleak winter season is a welcome promise when it comes to golfing footwear.

The colour of both the outer and the laces is a soft yet pretty coral and though bright it isn’t offensive. This makes it a great match with Navy and Black as well as white and the brighter summer colours. The overall first impression of this shoe brightened our mood for sure. The sizing is spot on and we can see why golfers buy multiple pairs of these.
