Golf tennis shoes Comparison

I had my eye on the Ecco Biom Hybrid shoes for quite some time before I received the email saying a pair was on the way for review. Needless to say, I was excited with the good news.

I’ve recently tested a number of shoes, each providing unique departures from the more traditional, classic tour shoes I’ve worn through the first couple decades of playing the game. The ECCO Biom Golf Hybrid shoes were particularly appealing based on knowing what a solid job ECCO already does on shoes in the first place. It’s also been intriguing to see discerning touring pros, like Freddy Couples and Graeme McDowell, starting to sport the ECCO brand on tour stops – adding additional and immediate credibility.

The ECCO Biom Golf Hybrid shoes were particularly appealing to me for a couple reasons. First off, I like the classic tennis shoe look in casual shoes I wear off the course, and the Biom Golf Hybrid certainly captures that look. It’s probably not the wisest move for longevity’s sake, but I find myself wearing the shoes after the round, in the clubhouse bar and on the way home. They really feel like a great pair of everyday shoes. Secondly, the common aspects of the wave of hybrid shoes has long been appealing and made me curious how they would perform against the more rigid and traditional golf shoe.

There are a number of features of the shoes that immediately jump out at you. The one that first caught my eye was the configuration of the knobs on the bottom of the shoe. As you’ll see from a number of the pictures here, there is a significant quantity of them (pushing 100 according to the website) – providing support for a multitude of what ECCO refers to as “traction angles”. The material used for construction of the sole is Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) – which research has shown lasts five times longer than rubber.
