There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.
What We Tried:
The ECCO Classic Hybrid golf shoe. A departure from ECCO’s typical performance golf shoes, the Classic Hybrid takes a more traditional approach to the golf shoe. Don’t worry, it’s still packed with ECCO’s tech. More on that later.
Who Tried It:
Connor. Director of Soft Goods Testing and resident sneakerhead. I believe golf is better with a pair of cool shoes and comfortable joggers.
ECCO Classic Hybrid: First Impressions
The Classic Hybrid doesn’t look anything like your typical ECCO golf shoes. I’ve always considered ECCO’s mainline BIOM golf shoes to be very modern, almost futuristic, looking. In this regard, the ECCO Classic Hybrid is the antithesis of “modern”. Sleek, calculated curves and edges are replaced by a classic dress shoe look and feel.
The premium materials and luxury aesthetic are apparent but how’s the performance? Don’t worry, we’ll get there. That said, my first impressions of the ECCO Classic Hybrid are favorable. I’m generally not a traditional golf shoe guy but something about the quilted leather upper is calling my name.
