First impressions of the Ecco Cage
These don’t look too dissimilar to the Biom G2 but attention is immediately drawn to the Cage around the heel and at the front of the toe.
The materials feel ultra-premium as soon as you take them out of the box and this is only magnified once you get them on your feet.
We’ve already come to expect superior comfort levels with Ecco golf shoes and the Cage are no exception. Once you slip them on it feels like they mould to the shape of your feet.
There’s also a padded tongue which adds to the comfort as you tie up the laces. Even the quality of the laces feels premium.
I opted for the black and grey option which is the most-understated of the colours available.
This was mainly due to the fact of it being winter when I ordered them. I’d probably go for the white and blue option for the summer.
Saying that, the leather used by Ecco in their waterproof golf shoes is very easy to clean so it shouldn’t make much of a difference either way.
The technology
So what is the theory behind the Cage and what does it do? Well, I spoke to global marketing manager Rebekka Schlippe who explained how the Cage is all about offering golfers extra stability through the golf swing.
The Cage actually wraps around the heel to keep it in place and promote better balance. This was music to my ears as I have a habit of being a bit wobbly in my follow-through.
