ECCO BIOM H4 SHOE £160
More than three years after the previous iteration, Ecco has released the Biom H4 and it is packed with updates, making it one of the best spikeless shoes on the market.
The sportier and more athletic design is clear to see straightaway. This is thanks, in part, to the new Biom 2.0 last on which the shoe is built, giving the toe section a more rounded look. It is undoubtedly one of the best-looking shoes the Danish brand has ever produced, if not the best.
STATE-OF-THE-ART OUTSOLE
Not only does it look better, but equipped with Ecco’s new MTN Grip outsole, it also performs better.
Through three different zones, the new outsole delivers stability, durability and rotational support. We found the traction on offer was ample, as was the support provided by the eye-catching midsole inserts on either side.
These striking elements connect the sole of the shoe to the lacing system, giving a snug fit that feels like it has been tailored to your feet. While this provides an abundance of stability, it also encourages more efficient movement and power generation from the ground up.
PREMIUM TOUCHES

As we have come to expect from Ecco, there is no shortage of quality on offer. The waterproof upper is made using Ecco’s micro-perforated and durable leather, meaning our feet were protected from outside water, while internal moisture was able to escape.
The removable, washable Ortholite foam inlay delivered excellent underfoot cushioning, making this an extremely well-rounded product.
In addition, the lightweight nature of the Biom H4, coupled with the contemporary and understated design, means this shoe is more than suitable for wearing away from the course as well, something we hope to take full advantage of when the lockdown restrictions are relaxed. It’s available in four colours for men and women, so you should easily be able to match a pair with your favourite outfit.
Admittedly, it comes with a premium price tag, but justifiably so in our opinion. Made from the finest materials, and packed with performance, this could comfortably be your go-to golf shoe for seasons to come. When considering shoes for our coveted list, the Ecco Biom H4 was right near the top.
