Ecco has been responsible for some of the most comfortable golf shoes of the last decade or so. A few years ago, you could've argued they were solely aimed at the 'older' golfer who preferred comfort over style. However, with the likes of Rick Shiels and Erik Anders Lang wearing its newest, most stylish golf shoes, Ecco has taken on a whole new vibe when it comes to the best golf shoes available. That brings us to its latest spikeless iteration, the Biom H5. Last year's Biom H4 was a favourite of mine, as was 2022's Biom C4, so I was excited to take the latest iteration out onto the golf course for a thorough test.
I'll start with looks, as I always do. The H5 has 'drawn inspiration from the flowing Nordic fjords and rugged Scottish Highlands' according to Ecco. I love the unique way the outsole bleeds onto the shoe, and it's not hard to see where the Nordic fjords inspiration has gone here. The neat details across the upper part continue this nature frenzy, and overall, I think it looks excellent. It's a real differentiation from the rest of the best spikeless golf shoes I've tested this year, and the classic athletic Ecco silhouette I've become familiar with blends nicely on and off the course if that's your sort of thing.
