Are they comfortable? They almost look like casual sneakers or deck shoes and it was a great advertisement for the shoe company
Danish shoemaker ECCO, the premium market leader, announces that staff player Fred Couples will compete in its 2010 collection during his official Champions Tour debut at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai, January 22-24.
Couples, who turned 50 last October, will display the ECCO logo on his headwear and showcase a range of styles from the brand's extensive new collection, which includes Golf Street, a trend setting hybrid sport-casual shoe designed specifically for wear both on and off the course.
Many golf shoes look great, some feel pretty good in that golf shoe kinda way but very few give that feel like wearing runners.
Looking at all golf shoes that walk past like some sort of golf shoes fetish freak, assuming that we can glean some idea of comfort with an owl like stare.
This unblinking gaze was squarely aimed at Fred Couples' golf shoes during last weekend's Champions Tour tournament. What are they? Sneakers?! They look like a pair of Tom Boyle's that I used to have. The comfiest shoes I've ever worn I might add. Ask any skater if you don't believe me.
They turned out to be Ecco's new range of golf "street" shoes. I never knew Ecco made golf shoes and Fred Couples could probably make clogs look comfortable but they look fantastic except for one thing.
They have no spikes in the bottom of them. They can't of course as they couldn't be worn "on the street" if they did but will all golf courses allow them? Can you really see members of Pennant Hills, Royal Adelaide or Kingston Heath letting these through the door
