Staff WriterIf you think winter golf is reserved for masochists and polar bears, ECCO GOLF has news for you. The Danish shoemaking wizards have rolled out the BIOM H5 HIGH TOP BOA, a performance golf boot designed for the brave souls who tee it up in sideways rain, sleet, or whatever else the Scottish Highlands and Nordic fjords can throw at them.
This is no ordinary golf shoe. It’s an evolution of the popular BIOM H5, beefed up with enhanced weather protection and a dash of Nordic stubbornness.
Inspired by nature and designed to endure it, the new high-top combines performance, style, and resilience in a package that looks as good as it plays.
A Glove-Like Fit for the Fearless
Crafted from ECCO Performance Leather and fused with a one-piece engineered knit sock, the BIOM H5 HIGH TOP BOA offers a modern, athletic aesthetic with the kind of snug, glove-like fit that makes you wonder why anyone still bothers with laces. Add the ECCO-TEX waterproof membrane and you’ve got dry, comfortable feet even when the heavens open up.
Then there’s the BOA Fit System—a dial-up, micro-adjustable closure that locks you in with the precision of a Formula 1 mechanic. It’s a marriage of Scandinavian craftsmanship and space-age tech, keeping your stance rock-solid from the first tee to the final putt.
Built for Every Awful Lie
Underfoot, ECCO has slipped in its BIOM NATURAL MOTION® technology, which follows the curves of your foot like it’s been studying them for years. The idea? Encourage a more natural stride, promoting forward momentum and lasting comfort through every round.
As for grip, the ECCO TERRA TRACTION SYSTEM (ETTS) outsole is the boot’s unsung hero. Think dependable grip and multidirectional stability whether you’re trudging across frost-covered fairways, rain-soaked roughs, or that swamp masquerading as a green.
Straight From ECCO GOLF HQ
Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO GOLF, didn’t mince his words: “The BIOM H5 HIGH TOP BOA builds on the success of the BIOM H5 by delivering even more protection and control for golfers who play through winter.
It combines the rugged inspiration of nature with our advanced Danish technologies to create a golf boot that empowers performance in any condition. It’s a shoe made to be used – and made to last.
“This new design is one that we are extremely proud of, having worked closely alongside the team at BOA to include the high-tech closure system. It’s been a truly collaborative effort, and we are proud to add this new model to our latest collection.”
Translation: this isn’t just a winter golf boot—it’s ECCO GOLF’s mic-drop moment for players who want to stay on the course when everyone else has retreated to the clubhouse.
Who’s Wearing Them?
The brand already counts a who’s-who of golf influencers and tour stars among its wearers: Rick Shiels, Erik Anders Lang, Thorbjørn Olesen, Henrik Stenson, Thomas Bjørn, Erik van Rooyen, Lydia Ko, Alison Lee, Lin Janet Xiyu, and Freddy Schott, to name a few.
When your roster stretches from Ryder Cup captains to YouTube’s biggest golf voice, you’re not just making shoes—you’re setting the pace.
