ECCO and Gore-Tex - The perfect combination for all weather conditions

As summer golf season draws to a close and the weather invariably begins to take a turn for the worse, now is the perfect time to equip yourself with a pair of ECCO golf shoes to guarantee your feet stay dry and comfortable thorough winter. With a reputation for being innovators in footwear performance and design, the Danish company are one of the only golf shoe brands that use Gore-Tex in the manufacturing process of their golf shoes.

The gold standard in long-lasting waterproof protection, Gore-Tex is used by ECCO to protect a number of their golf shoes. This state-of-the-art treatment ensures that the foot stays dry and comfortable in all weather conditions. This is achieved by a thin membrane being placed between the leather upper and lining, preventing external moisture penetration while allowing the foot’s natural moisture to escape.

ECCO currently use Gore-Tex protection in their stunning, handcrafted World Class GTX, timeless New Classic GTX and sporty Casual Cool GTX models, ensuring that golfers of all ages have a golf shoe style to suit their individual tastes. In addition there is also the comfort of a 2 year waterproof guarantee.
