SPOTTED: The ECCO GOLF S-THREE Golf Shoe

In light of the fact that the majority of states who have approved the reopening of golf courses mandate that golfers walk, instead of riding, it’s never been more important to have at least one pair of quality, comfortable golf shoes that you can walk a round (or two) in.

ECCO Golf, the Danish company who is perhaps best known for manufacturing the first spikeless golf shoe back in 1994, was founded on the philosophy of “control the process, control the quality” and with the goal of creating shoes that provide maximum comfort, fit, and performance.

And in an effort to honor those 3 goals, ECCO has recently released the ECCO S-THREE hybrid golf shoe, which features an innovative midsole technology targeting 3 areas of the foot providing zonal support, dynamic comfort and performance during each golf movement.

Available for both men and women, the S-THREE is crafted using ZONAL FLUIDFORM TECHNOLOGY to create a molded midsole with three distinct zones of softness to ensure the right balance of cushioning and stability exactly where golfers need it most.

“This breakthrough midsole technology gives the S-THREE some of the best performance features on the market, without sacrificing comfort or style,” says Jesper Thuen, General Manager, ECCO GOLF USA. “It is just the latest in a long line of innovations that have made ECCO GOLF one of the most trusted brands in golf footwear.”

The ZONAL FLUIDFORM TECHNOLOGY applied in the polyurethane midsole that creates three different zones with three separate levels of rigidity include:

• Zone 1 – Comfort: the heel of the midsole is engineered for medium softness to ensure greater cushioning and comfort;
• Zone 2 – Stability: the central part of the midsole has higher levels of rigidity to deliver lateral stability throughout the swing; and
• Zone 3 – Flexibility: the forefront of the midsole comes with the highest level of softness for guaranteed walking comfort and flexibility.

Due to the advanced multi-section injection process, the midsole of every pair of S-THREE shoes will have unique color transitions between the different sections, giving each pair of shoes a distinctive look.

In accord with ECCO’s mantra to “control the process”, the S-THREE’s uppers are crafted from thicker ECCO NAPPA leather, made in one of ECCO’s 4 tanneries, with 100% waterproof GORE-TEX technology that will keep your feet dry and comfortable in all conditions.

The S-THREE is further complemented by ECCO’s award-winning DYNAMIC TRACTION SYSTEM (E-DTS) outsole, which is comprised of more than 100 traction bars and 800 traction angles for excellent grip in all playing conditions.

Like all of ECCO GOLF’s shoes, the S-THREEs are constructed using FLUIDFORM technology to bond the upper and outsole unit, which creates a one-piece shoe without the use of glue or stitching.

The ECCO S-THREE’s are available in a variety of colors, including White, Magnet and Concrete for men and White, Magnet and Gravel for women, and can be purchased on ECCO’s Golf website here.
