Best Ecco Golf Shoes 2025

Ecco has been producing some of the best golf shoes for a long time now, producing some of the comfiest golf shoes on the market for many a year. It's not just comfort they specialize in either, creating rather simple but yet eye-catching and fashionable designs to stand out in what is a very crowded golf shoe market.

Creating some of the best waterproof golf shoes and most breathable golf shoes on the market, the brand is rather famous for many of its spikeless designs, while also making a range of excellent spiked models.

Whether it's a trusty pair of spiked shoes that will prove year-round options thanks to their grip or durability or you'd rather opt for a more versatile, sneaker-style shoe that can be worn both on and off the golf course, Ecco have you covered.

Considering how many models we've tested and enjoyed over the years, we've decided to put together this guide documenting our favorites to help you decide which model would suit you the best. Additionally if Ecco is not for you and you would rather go for a different model, then why not check out the best FootJoy golf shoes and also the best Under Armour golf shoes.

The Quick List

Best Ecco Golf Shoes

Best spikeless model

Recipient of the elusive Golf Monthly five star review, the Biom C4 shoes are one of the most technology-packed spikeless golf shoes we've tested and seriously impressed us with its overall comfort, grip, style and breathability. It's built nicely on the foundations of the excellent Biom H4, but the new sneaker-style has won our hearts from a style perspective, and the performance is there to match.

The Biom C4 uses Ecco's Exhaust Grid technology that scoops fresh air towards the sole of the foot to keep it cool. This, combined with Gore-Tex surround and breathable Ortholite insole, makes this one of the most breathable shoes we have. Another excellent touch from Ecco is that the insole is removable, making the Biom C4 of the best golf shoes for wide feet, as there was still the same amount of comfort and cushioning with the first insole removed.

Ecco have taken a step down the more athletic, modern look with this golf shoe and we praise them for doing so - they should attract a wider range of customers as a result because we think these are one of the better looking golf shoes on the 2025 market.

Best off course

Everyone loves a pair of versatile golf shoes and, for this section, we have opted for the Ecco Street 720s, which are 'designed to be worn all day and night, it offers big city vibes with a birdie mentality.'

The look is cool, simple and modern, meaning they can go with jeans, shorts, golf trousers and more. You could even wear them to the gym if you wanted - something I've done and enjoyed! Ecco has done the right thing by eliminating almost all the branding and keeping it subtle. That’s not to say these are a dull-looking shoe, there are some neat design touches that make for a modern and versatile silhouette.

These aren't a year-round shoe however, and we'd recommend opting for one of the best winter golf shoes if you're looking for such an option instead. Rather, I'm keeping the 720s in my summer shoe rotation so keep them clean and looking good as they're a little difficult to clean when compared to other models on this list. However, thanks to plenty of cushioning and a Gore-Tex construction, it is very breathable and fully waterproof and a really strong performer as both a golf and a casual shoe.

Most comfortable

The story of the LT1 golf shoes is comfort - and lots of it.

Ecco has used a new midsole foam called Ecco Ltyr alongside its renowned Fluidform technology to provide more cushioning and more rebound than ever before. It definitely delivered in testing as well. Cushioning is excellent and made my walk during testing thoroughly enjoyable - so much so I'd consider these one of the best golf shoes for walking thanks in part to the lightweight design.

The outsole is solid, but not spectacular and we would definitely go for the Ecco Biom G5 if you play in a lot of rain or wet weather conditions. That being said it is an excellent shoe for dry or even damp conditions. All in all we think the LT1 definitely delivers on the brand's claims of setting the bar for lightness and comfort in a shoe. If comfort is king for you, then the lT1 is a model to try.

Best durability

Last year's Biom H4 was a favourite of mine, as was 2022's Biom C4, and i was excited to get my hands on the new H5 shoes as a result. What greeted me out of the box was a new, slick and modern look - It's a real differentiation from the rest of the best spikeless golf shoes I've tested this year and combines Ecco's typically classic silhouette with an up-to-date twist thanks to the unique outsole.

Said outsole won't be the grippiest you ever wear, unfortunately. Ecco's 'Terra Traction System' is far from class-leading but still provided solid traction during testing. The outsole is a little simplistic when compared to the likes of he FootJoy Pro/SLX Carbon or Under Armour Drive Pro SL. If you primarily play summer golf or stick with dryer playing conditions you'll be fine, but I wouldn't consider this a year-round option.

Comfort levels, as always with Ecco shoes, are tremendous. The seam-knit sock construction at the top of the foot is a delight and when combined with the premium quality of the upper leather and the levels of cushioning on the sole, you get an enjoyable shoe to wear. These are stylish enough to be worn both on and off the course as well, an important factor for me when I rate spikeless golf shoes. These wouldn't be on my Mount Rushmore when I think of the best Ecco golf shoes but if you're after a comfortable, stylish spikeless shoe to wear in dry conditions, this should be on your short list.

Best spiked model

The addition of the BOA lacing system to the latest G5 shoes takes them from a good to a great option for golfers looking a comfortable, grippy option on the golf course. Although they lack a little in the looks department compared to other options on this list, these represent a high-performance golf shoe that should keep you feeling nailed to the ground which will hopefully lead to more confidence and lower scores as a result.

The first thing you’ll notice with the Biom G5 is the weight, or the lack of it, with the Biom G5 weighing 18 grams lighter than the Biom H4, no mean feat given the addition of the cleats on the outsole. Talking of the cleats, there are only six in this model, which are positioned at the very edge of the outsole to provide perimeter stability as well as excellent grip.

It still features Ecco's Gore-Tex protection and wipe-clean characteristics of the leather upper, which make this a robust winter shoe option.

Best classic design

The new Classic Hybrid is a very different take on what a spikeless golf shoe can be. It features a beautifully embossed leather upper that is rich and soft to the touch. The silhouette is a classic brogue look and Ecco has taken inspiration from its dress shoe division when designing the Classic Hybrid. As such it is probably more of a shoe to use for a special round of golf rather than an evening knock with your friends.

We were impressed with how light these shoes were, as well as by the softness of the Ortholite leather-covered insole and the lightweight nature and soft materials used on the Classic Hybrids make it one of the most comfortable golf shoes on the market right now.

Two things to note are that these shoes are water repellent so perhaps not a shoe to use in the winter months, and the ankle support compared to other shoes is lacking a bit. That being said our feet still felt secure and gripped down throughout testing, just not to the same level as other performance shoes.

How we test golf shoes

Our golf shoe testing methodology revolves around putting models to the test over a number of rounds and in different conditions. This is so we can gain a better idea of overall performance in terms of factors like grip comfort, grip, stability, waterproofing and how they actually look on the golf course. Each of the shoes listed above has been personally used by a member of the Golf Monthly team.

Although Dan Parker heads up our golf shoe testing, typically models are tested by one or more members of the Golf Monthly team to conduct the best and fairest test possible. Luckily, due to the fact we test so many different golf products, our test team spends many days of the year on the golf course. To do so, we must wear golf shoes, meaning the shoes we do test get tested across up to a dozen rounds of golf in varying weather and course conditions. Rather than simply wearing a shoe for 18 holes before reached our verdict, our reviews are thorough examinations of the performance of each golf shoe.

We test them in all scenarios - uneven lies, inclement weather, both links and parkland golf courses to see how they perform before writing our reviews and diagnosing their strengths and weaknesses.

This is the best way of testing a golf shoe as using it in the real world over a number of weeks allows us to see how they perform when variables change like weather, ground conditions, different stances and lies, and so on.

We think this also gives us information on the little details as well like which brands come up small or large, which models start to rub a bit too much after 36 holes, which designs can be used off the golf course and for the drive home?

We are very comprehensive in our tests to the point where we will regularly attend product launches and meet with the manufacturer’s R&D experts to understand the new technology. That isn't to say manufacturers can buy a good review though, as all our reviews are made by golfers, for golfers.

How to choose golf shoes

Comfort

As you would expect, comfort is king when it comes to golf shoes. An uncomfortable golf shoe is useless so it is worth trying some models on before you buy so you know what you like the feel of. For example some models have specific foam technologies, or specific sole designs that are designed to house your feet in comfort all day when out on the golf course.

Grip/Stability/Traction

Spikeless shoe design has improved massively in these factors. Previously, spiked models were the only way to ensure grip and stability in difficult lies or when the weather makes ground conditions slippery. This is no longer the case because most of the models above have specifically designed traction patterns and lugs to make sure your feet don't slip.

Looks

This is entirely subjective but you need to make sure you like the look of your golf shoes and there is a model above for all different types of fashion sense.

Waterproofing

Most golf shoes these days offer a degree of waterproof protection but some are better than others so if you see yourself playing in the rain a lot models like the G5, Biom H4 or S-Three are perfect for all weather play.

Sizes

It is worth checking out brand websites to see how the shoes convert to size guides from around the world. Ecco's sizing is pretty standard but it is still worth trying on some models to see what they feel like to your feet.

Price

The last factor to consider is price. With the models above we have tried to find shoes at all different price points so if you want a cheap model, you can get one. Or if you want to spend more, you can do that too. Importantly there is something for everyone.
