ecco biom hybrid 3

[realed]

Just snagged a pair yesterday at the local Ecco store for 30% off. I've had multiple pairs of Ecco Streets in the past and this definitely is the most comfortable out of the box.

If you have seen my previous posts, I have very sensitive feet, and have been disappointed with a lot of different golf shoes, for one reason or another. The Ecco Biom 3 gortex have been really impressive so far. They are very comfortable, wide enough so my 5th toe doesn't feel cramped, waterproof, and have good support. I bought a half size bigger so I could put my orthotics in them and still be comfortable. The leather is very soft, but it does get water stain marks on the lighter leathers. The black doesn't show these stains, but the cement color does. Cleaning and polishing them does help, and I enjoy doing this at the end of a round anyway, so it isn't a big deal for me. I will have occasional slippage, but to me, that means my balance is off and I am improperly transferring my weight, so I don't blame the shoes for that. I would highly recommend these shoes, as long as you can deal with a little water staining, and occasional slippage.

I have the white ones and have no water stains at all. Had them soaked in several downpours and been wet in long grass. Sometimes when they are actually wet they have water marks but when they dry they are gone.

Same thing for my white pair.

I have minor water stains on the inside arch/smooth leather on the white BOAs through 5 rounds. Each time out was pretty wet conditions, either early morning dew or playing during on/off light showers. It's not very noticeable unless you are literally inches from the shoe, so I'm not worried about it. The comfort is through the roof and the support/grip is mighty impressive for a spikeless.

I own the regular biom 3 in a size 43. If Inwanted to get the Boa’s, should I go a size down? (Some people have mentioned that run larger..)

Thanks

I feel they run pretty much the same. They did not have BOA in store, so I tried the tie version in 43 and they fit well so that's what I ordered in BOA version.

These are excluded from promotion

[golfday]

I really wanted to like these because of all the great reviews, but the arch was too high in my forefoot and after trying them on in the store couldn't imagine a round of that (I tried going up and down sized, and always the same issue). Any ideas on how to get around that? Maybe a different insert?

 

Only shoe I've had this problem with.

Been trying to find these for the last week. Haven’t been able to find anything cheaper

After reading all of the comments about how these shoes look after 5-10 rounds and discounting them as my white BOA's still look pretty good after 30 rounds, I got a look a friends Biom 3's the other day and understood a little better what people are complaining about. Played with a friend who had the grey/red colorway on and they looked like there were 3 year old shoes. Leather was wrinkled and filthy and they looked terrible.

 

I'm pretty conscious about wiping them down and making sure they dry properly after getting wet, and I think that's helped a lot.

After playing with them all season, my patterned grey/white and grey/black look like new. I only keep shoe trees in one pair - keep forgetting to buy another set of them for the other pair. I am even more happy with these shoes after wearing a new pair of FJ SLs that I received at a member guest - they aren't anywhere near the same class as the Eccos for comfort.

Definitely agree with you there. The SL's felt like the sole was enormously thick and the toe box felt like plastic to me. I felt like I was wearing heels in those things.

I've played in slop all year and walked about 70 rounds in them so far. I have the black gray and they still look great. I do clean them after each round.

 

My playing partner and I were both saying this morning, after another 1.75" of rain last night, it's been a great year to find these.....by far the best water proof shoe I've owned.

 

I'd like to find another style with the same performance. Something a little more athletic looking.

You have to give these shoes bit more attention. Clean after round,use leather cream, spray with defender repellent, still way worth it.

I've started to notice fading around the toe on my cement colored eccos so definitely going to be buying the leather cream, but do you just use the ecco refresher spray or what is the defender repellent?

I have the same issue with the prior generation. I really like (except for this issue) them, but the high arch creates issues. Sometime worse than others. It also seems to push my weight to the outside of my foot. I’d be interested if anyone has switched the insole and how that changed the feel.

[Miker20890]

im in between sizes with these shoes. do these stretch out at all after wearing them?

[GoldeNDomer]

I have used them all season. Best shoes I have ever owned. I have them with the boa lacing and I am finding that the boa tends to lose its strength over time more than the tradition lace but the rest of the shoe is exemplary Bottom line is ecco will replace the shoe for any reason whatever. Their warranty is second to none.

The BOA version have stretched out a little for me yes.

as posted in the Deal or No Deal section, Ecco web site has extra 40% off sale items (code - LABOR18). The Biom3 is 107.00 after discount.

Mine are no longer keeping the water out. I noticed about 3 rounds ago and yesterday I was soaked. No rain during the rounds, just early dew/wet conditions.
