ECCO BIOM H5 Golf Shoe
The ECCO BIOM H5 BOA golf shoes bring a bold, boot-like design to the course with waterproof protection and ECCO’s signature comfort. This high-top model combines durable performance leather with a knit sock collar and ECCO’s BIOM Natural Motion technology for a stable, supportive feel. The BOA dial system provides quick, precise adjustments, creating a secure fit that’s ready for walking 18 holes in any weather.
The Looks
I’ll be honest and say, the ECCO BIOM H5 BOA high-top is definitely a unique aesthetic that I know won’t be for everyone. That said, the BIOM H5 high immediately stands out with a modern, almost hiking-boot silhouette. In black, the shoe takes on a stealthy, all-weather vibe that pairs easily with virtually any golf outfit, while the contrasting textures keep it from feeling flat. Unique zig-zag stitching runs across the upper and around the collar, adding both visual interest and a sense of craftsmanship. Beneath it all, the sculpted foam midsole has a bold, almost “aggro” look with deep angular cuts and layered contours that give the shoe an athletic, technical edge. It’s a design that’s unmistakably contemporary and far from traditional golf shoe styling.
Comfort Level
Comfort is where the ECCO BIOM H5 BOA shines. I expected the higher collar to rub against my ankle, but it never did. Even over much longer walking periods, I had no issues. The BOA system makes micro-adjustments simple, creating a supportive, wrap-around fit without pressure points. While I wouldn’t call it a wide shoe, the fit is generous and accommodating for most foot shapes. Underfoot, the midsole foam strikes an excellent balance of cushion and support. My feet were happy through 18 holes both in walking and maintaining strong support during my swing.
On-Course Performance
Players who prefer a really low profile with a super direct ground connection may not find the ECCO BIOM H5 BOA high-tops to be the best fit for them. These shoes ride slightly higher, delivering a more “sneaker-like” stance and a subtly elevated feel over the ball. At the same time, ECCO’s BIOM Natural Motion technology encourages natural foot movement and flexion. Even with a higher profile, the shoe helps the foot roll and stabilize smoothly throughout the swing.
The midsole foam strikes an ideal balance of cushioning and support, keeping feet comfortable through a full walking round—even on a demanding course. ECCO’s new traction system performs reasonably well but won’t be mistaken for a spiked sole. I’m a big guy and I swing hard. In wet conditions with an intense swing and bad balance, I needed a little more grip. Players with a more controlled move should fare just fine.
Waterproof construction and the BOA dial’s secure fit kept my feet dry and firmly locked in place. The close fit also helped prevent slips while simply walking on slick turf, not just during the swing. Thankfully, BOA, per usual, delivers that reliable support.
