ECCO Introduces 2012 Women's Golf Shoe Collection

ECCO have announced its 2012 women’s golf collection, highlighted by Golf Street, Casual Cool and BIOM Golf models in a wide range of fresh designs and fun colors. The collection is available from spring 2012. 

Handcrafted from luxurious leathers exclusively at ECCO-owned factories, all shoes in the latest collection are designed and constructed using the Scandinavian principle that form must follow function. This foot-first approach to shoemaking merges with the company’s use of direct-injection technology to ensure unrivaled durability, flexibility, lightness and weather resistance.

“Golf Street has been a global smash hit and early response to new designs has been remarkably strong,” says Michael Waack, Head of Global Golf at ECCO. “Similarly, the initial success of BIOM Golf at retail and on the LPGA Tour has led us to expand the collection in its second year.”

Embodying relentlessly innovative culture that helps define ECCO, BIOM Golf is the game’s first Natural Motion shoe. Created from decades of ECCO research into the human foot, its patented design is built around a completely anatomical last with flexible midsole arch support. This mirrors the foot skeleton, uses the body’s natural system for absorbing impact and brings players closer to the ground for unmatched feel and traction.

BIOM Golf also features:

• Yak leather uppers that are naturally soft, smooth and breathable, yet are three times stronger than other leathers

• ECCO Hydromax™ treated leathers for superb weather protection

• A triple-component insole unit to enhance cushion and performance

• A wider heel with a unique three-cleat configuration and stability bars between each cleat to help achieve ideal balance

£170

Inspired by the runway and ideal for the course, Casual Cool is offered in three distinct leather types – waterproof GORE-TEX®, weather-resistant HYDROMAX™ and high-grade Premier. It mixes contemporary fashion with serious performance through smooth leathers, trend-inspired colors, feminine details and an advanced outsole design.

Premier - £125
Hydromax – £125
Gore-Tex - £145

Based on the idea that golf shoes don’t have to look like golf shoes, Golf Street is a hybrid sport-casual shoe perfectly suited for the course or the city. Its distinctive uppers feature high-fashion leathers and finishes alongside subtle patterning, bright colors and silver rivet detailing. The ingenious outsole has highly-durably molded TPU traction bars that boast hundreds of traction angles for superb grip in all conditions.

£99-110

The ECCO women’s golf collection is worn in competition by scores of international Tour stars, including Belen Mozo, Gerina Piller and Jennifer Johnson.
