ECCO Golf S-Lite Golf Shoes Preview: Breaking Boundaries In Lightweight Design

ECCO Golf has released a new hybrid shoe called the S-Lite, which breaks boundaries as the brand's lightest-ever leather golf shoe ever. 

 

The S-Lite is a fresh, innovative approach to golf shoe design for ECCO, blending cutting-edge engineering and comfort to ensure an ultra-light on-course experience. 

A multi-injection production process offers a TPU outsole that's 66-percent thinner than anything ECCO has previously created, making it perfect as a packable playing option. 

 

ECCO Golf General Manager, Jesper Thuen said, 

"By owning our own tanneries and manufacturing processes, ECCO Golf continues to find ways to deliver golfers truly distinctive footwear.  This passion for performance and design is exemplified in S-LITE." 

A stylish, diamond-shaped embossing on the two-tone ECCO YAK leather upper reduces weight while increasing comfort, and a soft textile lining makes it a natural water repellent with breathability. 

 

The E-DTS LITE outsole offers on and off course traction and durability with exceptional flexibility.  A molded leather heel counter and inside toe reinforcement offer additional support ensuring stable footing throughout the swing. 

S-LITE FEATURES & BENEFITS 

• Premium, durable ECCO YAK leather made in the company's own tanneries 

• An award-winning E-DTS LITE hybrid outsole design that adds more than 100 traction studs and 800 traction angles for excellent grip in all playing conditions 

 

• FLUIDFORM Technology which is a "state change" process using specialized fluid materials to form around an anatomical last (this ensures a finely-tuned balance of cushioning and rebound, while also creating an integral, flexible, and durable bond without compromises common with stitched or glued assemblies) 

• A PU midsole with a PU wing, wrapping the sides of the foot delivers stability on and off the course 

 

• A premium soft leather foot bed that offers a soft feel and natural moisture management 

 

ECCO Golf shoes are worn in competition around the world by European Ryder Cup Captain Thomas Bjørn, Fred Couples, Lydia Ko, Minjee Lee,  Caroline Masson, and other athletes on various professional tours.  For more information on the new S-Lite as well as other designs in the 2010 ECCO line, visit www.eccousa.com.
