ECCO launches women's Biom Hybrid 3 golf shoe
New ladies shoe features groundbreaking TRI-FI-Grip outsole.
ECCO GOLF has unveiled its latest innovation, the women’s BIOM HYBRID 3 featuring the groundbreaking new TRI-FI-GRIP outsole.
The model, which will be available in several refined aesthetics to appeal to female golfers of differing style preferences, is the latest evolution of the brand’s multi-award-winning and best-selling ECCO BIOM HYBRID franchise.
TRI-FI-GRIP ensures multi-purpose zonal performance through three segments; one for stability, another for durability and a third for rotational support.
The zonal structure is a product of intensive research and data analysis in the ECCO GOLF Lab. Each is formed from ultra-durable T.PU, meaning the shoes can be worn on and off course without affecting performance.
- Zone 1 centres on delivering outstanding lateral stability throughout the swing
- Zone 2 forms the middle of the outsole and is designed to guarantee walking comfort through the round and beyond. It also features a durability region in the heel where shoes can be prone to wearing
- Zone 3 is a specially engineered rotational section designed to optimise the movement in the forefoot through slim, rounded lugs which promote fast and easy rotation through the swing
Throughout the design process, lead designer Andrzej Bikowski’s focus was to ride the wave of success created by ECCO BIOM Hybrid since its launch in 2011.
“We approached this project with the question; how can we make the best, better? By combining our new TRI-FI-GRIP innovation with the same technological features created by the BIOM last, I believe we have achieved our goal.
“The fact that all ECCO BIOM HYBRID 3 models offer complete waterproof GORE-TEX construction further exemplifies our commitment to progress and excellence.”
- An ECCO Racer Yak leather upper with supreme breathability and durability
- 100% GORE-TEX® waterproof protection, guaranteed for three years
- The option of a BOA® closure system for optimum fit

The shoe is crafted at company-owned factories that utilise FLUIDFORM technology to bond the upper and outsole unit, creating a one-piece shoe without the use of glue or stitching. Benefits include flexibility, durability and a lightweight construction.
