(Londonderry, NH) – Danish shoemaker ECCO confirms that the winner of the Nationwide Tour Players Cup competed in the brand’s World Class GTX golf shoes this past weekend en route to his first victory of the season at the Pete Dye Golf Club in Bridgeport, WV.
An expression of the ultimate luxury, the completely waterproof World Class GTX delivers exceptional on-course performance in shoes that feel like an extension of your body while offering outstanding stability. An accomplished union of beautiful leatherwork with a full complement of advanced ECCO technology, these distinguished shoes provide unprecedented comfort and fit. Features include a direct-injected PU and leather welt midsole, and Gore-Tex® water-repellant leather outsole combined with TPU in the heel area.
“More and more of the world’s best players are seeking the comfort and performance of ECCO golf shoes,” says Jesper Thuen, Sponsor and Event Manager, ECCO Golf. “Feet are the foundation of the swing and our game-enhancing technology provides golfers with optimal stability to score their best.”
ECCO golf shoes are also worn in competition by Fred Couples, Colin Montgomerie, Stuart Appleby, Aaron Baddeley, Thomas Bjorn, John Bickerton, Arjun Atwal, Bradley Dredge, Juli Inkster, Carin Koch, Iben Tinning, Linda Wessberg, Johanna Westerberg and others.
All ECCO golf shoes feature a network of built-in technologies to create the ideal platform for the perfect swing. These include a direct-injected, PU-constructed midsole/outsole that:
Creates a one-piece shoe construction
Ensures unrivaled durability, flexibility, lightness and weather resistance
Provides a superior level of cushioning and comfort that does not break down over time, unlike commonly-used materials such as air, rubber and EVA foam
Optimal performance is further guaranteed by:
Ultra-soft, high-grade leathers with hydrophobic treatments for superb weather-resistance
Internal stabilizer to reduce torque and create ideal swing stability
Double-layer insole with cushion that absorbs heel force to reduce stress on the knees, hips and back
Internal Air-Circulation System to maintain a fresh, dry and cool foot environment
Dynamic Energy Return System that provides a trampoline effect during foot-strike and follow-through to reduce fatigue and restore energy with each step
Green-friendly outsole designs featuring molded traction bars combined with Stinger cleats from Champ and the Q-Lok insert system to provide ideal traction and grip
