The ECCO BIOM® G5, which was inspired by ECCO BIOM® G3 and the ECCO BIOM® H4, is equipped with world-renowned GORE-TEX construction that offers 100 percent waterproofing while still allowing the foot to breathe. The shoe has been engineered to incorporate ZARMA-TOUR® spikes combined with innovative hybrid grooves to offer all-weather traction and stability.

Pebbled ECCO Leather and a choice of toned-down colors add to the classic look, with ‘The original BIOM HYBRID’ printed in gold on the tongue as a stylish reminder of the shoe’s heritage.
- The GOLF CORE features a sneaker-style aesthetic in the brand-new colorway options of Night Sky/Black/Ombre, Concrete/Dark Shadow/Magnet and White/Shadow White/Silver Grey.

All ECCO GOLF shoes are crafted at company-owned factories that utilize FLUIDFORM™ technology to bond the upper and outsole unit, creating a one-piece shoe without the use of glue or stitching. Benefits include flexibility, durability and a lightweight construction.
