PUTTING YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD The summer is here, so it is now time to upgrade your golf shoes for a new season. Destination Golf recommends the ECCO Cage golf shoes. Designed to fit the foot like a second skin, this professional men's golf shoe brings together sublime good looks and ground breaking technology for optimum performance. Champ Slim-Lock soft spikes give enhanced grip without damaging the green, while the ECCO HYDROMAX®-treated leather has water repellent characteristics to keep the worst of the weather out. They are ergonomically designed professional men's golf shoe for all-day comfort and performance. It’s integrated shank and anatomically-designed sole matches the shape of the foot, which the caldera HM leather uppers allows the foot to breathe, for day-long freshness. Made from cow leather and textile lining, ECCO HYDROMAX® treated leather resists moisture and is super modern using the champ Slim-Lock soft spikes for enhanced grip and stability Featuring an outer sole made with DIP Technology. This means the injection of a resilient, shock absorbent material into a foot shaped mold, this lets the shoe maker bond the sole directly to the upper without glue or stitching. The result is anatomical fit, integrated shock absorption, and extreme flexibility. It also features the innovative Hydromax, which is an ECCO-developed treatment used to make leather highly water repellent. This special process actually keeps the leather from hardening after repeated wetting and drying, keeping it strong and durable, yet soft and breathable. Ideally, leather should be treated with ECCO shoe care products after every wetting in order to retain its water-repellent features. ECCO believe that form follows function, not convention. This drives them to keep making golf shoes that redefine what a golf shoe can be. They respect tradition and love innovation. ECCO firmly believe that they make their shoes better than competitors, because they make the shoes themselves. In an era of outsourcing, ECCO claim to be the only major shoe manufacturer that owns and manages the entire production process from start to finish, from cow to customer. Expert shoe makers know that the uppers of your golf shoe must be soft, supple and breathable, therefore all the hides used in ECCO shoes are treated at their own tanneries and must meet their high standards. ECCO golf shoes use a double-layer inlay sole that ingeniously absorbs heel force, reducing the impact felt by your knees, hip and back. The outsole and upper of each ECCO golf shoe are bonded via low-pressure injection of PU. This allows ECCO to modify shock absorption and creates a strong, watertight seal without the use of any glue. FOR MORE INFORMATION VISIT WWW.ECCO.COM
