The Biom H5 is the latest offering from ECCO’s range of performance golf shoes. Inspired by the flowing Nordic fjords and the rugged Scottish Highlands, it’s designed to tackle any conditions in ultimate comfort, so did the Textile model impress?
The silvery grey midsole was the first thing that caught my attention as its abstract look reminds me of being in the mountains, reflecting the nature-inspired design of this shoe.

As for Ecco’s new Terra Traction System sole, which is a highlight of the Biom H5, it’s very strong and sturdy, so I found no problem finding grip and stability over my shots. I didn’t have to tackle any extreme conditions, but just by looking at the sole, I think it would do a pretty good job.
