Ecco

Both ECCO and FootJoy are massively respected in the golfing world, and players will undoubtedly find things to like about shoes from both brands. But in a general sense, here's a good way to think about it...

ECCO is widely accepted as the industry standard for all-day comfort on the course, using premium GORE-TEX leather to create a shoe that fits exceptionally well from the first time you wear it. FootJoy, on the other hand, is respected as the leader in stability and variety in its golf shoes - ideal for players who need that true "locked-in" feel as they walk around the course.

It depends on which specific model of shoe you buy. As a rule of thumb, ECCO provides a one-year limited warranty to protect against defects in materials and workmanship. This can include structural issues, bonding and leather quality.

Things change slightly when it comes to ECCO waterproof golf shoes. Depending on the specific technology used, the shoes will come with either a 1-year or 3-year waterproof warranty. So should the waterproofing fail during this time, you should get in touch with the Golf Shoes team and we'll do our best to help.

ECCO is praised for its longevity, often lasting multiple seasons without losing fit or structural integrity. 

They are frequently rated higher than competitors like FootJoy, Nike, or adidas for out-of-the-box comfort. Because they control their leather production and use specialised injection bonding, they offer a level of durability and "instant comfort" that is hard to beat.

Absolutely. ECCO has established itself as a tour favourite alongside giants like FootJoy and Nike. Legends like Colin Montgomerie, Fred Couples, Aaron Baddeley, and Graeme McDowell have all worn ECCO on Tour. More recently, stars like Erik Van Rooyen and Henrik Stenson have garnered attention for wearing ECCO, often sporting limited-edition designs.

So if they’re good enough for the pros, they’re ideal for your game!

Some of them, yes! ECCO was a pioneer in the hybrid shoe market, designed for both the course and casual settings. You can wear many spikeless models just as easily off-course as you can during match play. 

Just remember that walking on harsh surfaces like concrete or gravel will wear down the engineered soles faster - so stick to the grass where possible to keep them effective for longer!

Yes. Except for specific mesh-upper styles, ECCO golf shoes are guaranteed waterproof. Many models, especially those with GORE-TEX Surround, offer 100% waterproof protection while maintaining high breathability, giving you the best of both worlds.
