Ecco is a golf shoe brand right at the top of its game. Its Biom C4 golf shoe released in 2022 still remains one of my absolute favorite golf shoes of all time and is still one of the best golf shoes and best spikeless golf shoes currently available for purchase. The new LT1 is the brand's latest spikeless shoe which, according to Ecco, is 'setting a new standard for lightness and comfort.' I was excited to test this claim for myself out on the golf course.
My first impressions out of the box were mixed. While the premium design, materials and build quality was immediately present, to me the looks are a slight regression from the other best Ecco golf shoes I've tested. I think the brand has done a great job over the last few years at making modern, athletic designs as well as classic silhouettes that have widened the overall appeal of Ecco. One look at the Biom C4, Classic Hybrid or Biom H4 and you can see what Ecco is capable of as a brand, and I think the LT1 is a small step backwards here. It's a bit round, curvy and uninspiring for my tastes but feel free to disagree with me on this entirely subjective category of looks - and I know plenty of people at the Golf Monthly offices who disagree with me on this.
