Danish company ECCO is one of the leading footwear companies in the world – they own and manage every step of their shoemaking process, from leather production through manufacturing in its own factories and all the way to its stores. Their shoes provide the ultimate in comfort, functionality and style guided by their design philosophy of “the shoe must follow the foot.” We’ve seen great products from ECCO including the Fred Couples Signature Edition 1992 and GMAC Golf Shoe and most recently, they’ve been named the official footwear supplier to the 2015 European Solheim Cup Team.
The Solheim Cup combines the tradition and prestige of the game of golf with passion for one’s country. This biennial, trans-Atlantic team match-play competition features the best U.S.-born players from the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour and the best European members from the Ladies European Tour (LET). It will be held on September 18 – 20 at the St. Leon course of Golf Club St. Leon-Rot, St. Leon-Rot, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. This year, ECCO will create special-edition shoes exclusively for the squad’s players, Captain Carin Koch and her assistants. They will also provide shoes to the defending champions’ caddies and team staff.
“This truly unique event has proven to be an exceptional showcase for the ECCO Golf collection and our company’s commitment to the women’s game,” says Jesper Thuen, Global Marketing Manager – ECCO Golf Lab. “With our side looking for its third-straight win, golf fans throughout Europe will be tuned in and rooting them on.”
ECCO golf shoes are worn in competition by many LPGA and LET Tour players, including Na Yeon Choi, Caroline Masson, Jennifer Johnson, Sadena Parks, Kendall Dye, Pernilla Lindberg, Therese Koelbaek, Sophie Giquel-Bettan, Liz Young, Sally Watson, Linda Wessberg, Emily Kristine Pedersen and Nanna Madsen. The brand is also preferred by PGA and European Tour stars Fred Couples, Ernie Els, Graeme McDowell, Thomas Bjørn, Marcel Siem, Thongchai Jaidee and Will Wilcox.
