ECCO Men's Biom Hybrid 3 Gore-Tex Golf Shoe

I have looked at the ECCO golf shoe for about a year. Like most people the price kept me from trying or buying. I needed new golf shoes this year. I tried 4 different shoes from various companies. None of the shoes fit very well. Either too big, too small, too narrow or too wide. I had played with some golfers who just raved about the shoes. They were the most comfortable and best golf shoes they had ever owned. Well I decided to try them since I could use the try before you buy with Amazon. I had been told and read online that if you wear an 11.5 go with the 11. I ordered the ECCO Biom Hybrid Gore-tex. I wanted a waterproof shoe and this fit the bill along with they are a good looking shoe. They fit as I was told. You can either wear thick socks or do what I did and put a soft insert in the shoe. Either way these shoes are worth the money. I try to walk as much as possible when playing and these shoes are very comfortable and sturdy. The shoes are worth the extra money.

Background: I golf 2-3 times a week and I’m very hard on my equipment. I also have small fiber neuopathy in my feet which can be extremely uncomfortable. I have go through 1-2 pairs of golf shoes per year. Previous to this pair, I had the biom 2 and before that was a pair of foot joys.Pros:1. I have never worn a golf shoe this comfortable in my life. It feels as though it was a custom made shoe for my foot.2. The gortex will keep your feet warm and dry. This is especially important to me since I can tell if my feet are cold or hot with my small fiber neuopathy.3. If you push off of your outside foot like I do with the driver, you find them to being very stable and rigid where they should be. Thank you to whomever put in the R&D to design these shoes.Cons:1. Price. At $200, they are at the high end of what I would pay for shoes.2. It can be difficult to get your size off Amazon and most clubs don’t carry many of these due to the number of shoes they have to order to work with Ecco. I couldn’t get them from my golf club so I ordered them online.Notes: I’m about a 12 if not slightly smaller, but the 12-12.5 fits my feet like a good pair of gloves fit my hands. I’d give it more stars if I could. This is my best golf related purchase of the year.

Extraordinarily comfortable. Fit is exactly to size, US13/EU47, with other shoe brands I wear. The last is on the wide range in toes but the heel design is very secure and w/laces fully snugged I have not felt a hint of hot spot.As is typical of footwear w/GoreTex liner, they have proven completely waterproof in light rain and damp grass but not the most breathable in warm conditions. The Yak leather is extremely soft and supple. This new sole offers extraordinary grip, much better than any spikeless I’ve ever used from Ecco and Puma. The arch suppport is phenomenal, as has been my experience w/Biom last. If you do not need or want high arch support, the Ecco Cage is probably a much better option.I like mine so much I bought a 2nd pair in alternate color after just 2 rounds wearing these.

I gave these shoes 5 stars from the quality feel and the fact that, once I got the right size, they fit like a fine leather glove with the comfort of a couch for my feet. However, I have not worn them for a round of golf as I just received them today. If they, for some odd reason, don't meet my expectations, I will submit a 'downgraded' review.On the negative side, if not armed with crucial size information, you might have to return your first pair as I did.I typically wear a 10.5 in hiking & golf shoes to ensure that I get a large enough toe box - very important for long walks. I ordered the size 10 figuring that they run a bit large per reviews. The 10 felt more like an 11 so I returned them & ordered a size 9 (no 1/2 sizes listed on the Amazon description). I've never worn a 9. Upon receipt of the new ones, I noticed that the tag on the box (see photo) actually read US & UK size is 9-9.5 (not 9). That might explain why the "9" actually fit my size 10.5 feet like a glove as the range in 9-9.5. BTW, my feet are 12" long from heel to the end of my big toe. So, be aware that you can order a full size smaller (maybe even a size & 1/2 as I did) & they should be large enough to fit fine.

I have horribly flat feet. I mean, duck paddles flat! Because of this, I am extremely hard on shoes and even the " ", BEST shoes only last a month or two for me. I walk 95% of my rounds and my feet start aching around the 15th hole regardless of the shoe shape, spikes/no spike, and insole.Insert the ECCO Biom Hybrid 3, these shoes have felt great from the very first step. The soft leather wraps my foot like a glove and the insoles give a enough support for comfort but not too much to cause pain on my flat arches.Several of my golf buddies made the leap before I did and raved about these shoes so I had to give them a try and see if they could stand up to the test of my abuse. 3 rounds in and they are still as comfortable as the first round. I like them so much, that I have purchased an additional pair.I know they are pricey, but in this case, they are well worth the cost if you can afford them. Take it from a guy that has tried almost every brand from Sketchers to Foot Joy, these shoes are worth the investment for those with imperfect feet.I recommend going to the size up for these if you wear thick socks. I wear thin socks and my normal size fits perfect for me. However, if I wore a thicker sock, they would be too snug to walk a complete round.I hope this helps.

Happy with the shoe. I wear a 10.5 wide (ordered 10-10.5) and was happy to see these are wide! They are comfortable but with being waterproof, don’t breath as well as other shoes. Just the nature of being waterproof. I have played 3 rounds so far (temps in high 90’s) and was glad to get them off after the round. They kept feet dry during the morning dew which was great! Grip was great and felt anchored while swinging. Hope they last a long time. You won’t be disappointed with fit and function.
