Introduced over a decade ago, Ecco golf shoes are now a staple in the golfing world

In 2010 at the Masters, Fred Couples introduced the world to Ecco Golf by wearing its Street shoe. That started the spikeless revolution—something Ecco continues to pioneer.

It caught everyone by surprise. Past Masters champ Fred Couples was walking the fairways of Augusta National in 2010 wearing what appeared to be a sneaker. It was actually Ecco Golf’s Street shoe, which is still one of the most iconic pieces of golf footwear in the history of the game.

This holiday season, get the golfer on your list a pair of Ecco golf shoes from our wide selection. Ecco has released its Street Retro shoe paying homage to Couples’ success at Augusta National, as well as updates with its Ecco Biom Hybrid 3 GTX, and Ecco Goretex S-Three Spikless.

“With the Street shoe, Ecco went from zero to 50 in golf in no time,” says Todd Davidson, who helms Ecco’s golf shoes in Canada. “And we’ve continued to evolve from there. It is hard to imagine it was a decade ago when Freddie wore those shoes at the Masters.”

Ecco Street Retro

Ecco brought back the original model, which has since taken on a life of its own as an icon in golf equipment. These days, with plenty of discussion about apparel that works on and off the course, the Ecco Street seems universal. But at the time it was entirely unique.

The 10th anniversary will see a limited run of the Ecco Golf Street shoes in three colours, including a copy of the version Couples wore in 2010. Of course, Ecco has continued to make improvements to its shoes, with a full-grain upper, made of leather that is water resistant and includes a Hydromax treatment. The upper and outsole are bonded with Fluidform technology to create a one-piece bond without glue or stitching.

Ecco Biom Hybrid 3 GTX

The company has also launched the Ecco Biom Hybrid 3 GTX, which features a 100% waterproof GORE-TEX construction and YAK leather for which Ecco is renowned. The shoe also features Ecco’s Tri-Fi-Grip outsole which has three different zones—one for comfort, one for durability and a third for rotation—and is finished with the GTX Ortholite inlay sole that is lightweight and provides excellent cushioning. Of course, the Biom Hybrid 3 is a spikeless shoe.

Ecco Goretex S-Three Spikless

Are you looking for the timeless appeal of a classic golf shoe, but one with modern technology? That’s what Ecco Goretex S-Three Spikless offers, with a timeless aesthetic, a contemporary Phorene midsole, and Hydromax water-repellent treatment. Hydromax guarantees you’ll remain dry throughout your round, while the Phorene midsole returns energy with every step.
