T H A N K Y O U , N AT U R E FOR INSPIRING OUR SPORT DESIGN In the natural world, form follows function. We take a similar approach to sport. Our shoes promote performance with ultra-flexible ease of movement and anatomical fit — they follow and support every move your foot makes. So go ahead, hike, run, explore. The longer you go and the further you venture, the more you will feel the benefits.
M O U N TA I N The most rugged of our outdoor categories, these boots represent a union of attributes that rarely co-exist in a single shoe. They combine exceptional flexibility with anatomical support; relentless traction with athletic responsiveness; serious performance with cosy comfort. Taking inspiration from our frequent trips to Iceland, they are our most robust embodiments of our form follows function design principle.
BIOM HIKE MEET THE GROUND BREAKING, TERRAIN-GRIPPING BIOM HIKE This award-winning boot unites genuine natural movement capability with the aggressive, go-anywhere traction of a world-class hiking boot. This highly anatomical boot conforms to every nuance of your foot. It’s superbly flexible, while offering excellent support for both the foot and ankle. An extremely comfortable, efficient way to log miles anywhere on earth.
IT’S COLD, ROCKY AND DANGEROUS. (PLUS 5 OTHER REASONS WE LOVE ICELAND) 1. It’s just a short 4 hour flight away. 2. The extreme volcanic terrain is perfect to push the traction, agility and comfort limits of our shoes. 3. The cold, often hostile, weather is perfect to test our climate-control technologies. 4. Its relaxed Nordic culture is much like our own Scandinavian culture. 5. We get to eat hangikjöt (Icelandic smoked mutton) and kleinur (fried pastry) and drink Einstöck white ale.
TERRAIN These are serious outdoor shoes engineered for athleticism and diverse adventures. Lighter than our Mountain range, yet well-appointed with performance technologies, Terrain shoes are built with an explosive mix of hyper-flexible materials, anatomical precision and high-traction outsoles.

THE ECCO APPROACH TO SPORT IN 3 WORDS
FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION We believe what looks good and what works well should be one and the same. As designers, we take our cues from nature. Our shoes promote performance with ultra-flexible ease of movement and anatomical fit — so they follow and support every move your foot makes. The further you hike, the longer you run, the deeper you explore— the more you will feel the benefits.

“WE TOOK OUR MOST RELIABLE PERFORMANCE TECHNOLOGIES AND CREATED A SHOE FOR MORE CASUAL ADVENTURES” – Rikke Drøhse, Product Manager
T O B E A B E T T E R S H O E C O M PA N Y, W E B E C A M E A L E AT H E R C O M PA N Y. In 1985, desiring a high quality of leather, we opened our first tannery. Since then, we have become one of the world’s leading leather companies, providing leather to many of the world’s most renowned luxury brands. For us, leather is both form and function. To create shoes that effortlessly move with the foot and provide long-lasting comfort, our leathers are supple, breathable and strong. Just as woodcraft is a signature of Scandinavian furniture making, leather is core to our vocabulary as shoe designers. ECCO Leathers make the most of this material’s intrinsic, natural qualities, while embodying our constant innovations.
MULTISPORT We believe form should follow function. In the case of our Multisport shoes, we take this principle to extremes — these are shoes wherein one form yields many functions, from light hiking to trail running. We achieve this by combining extreme flexibility with lighter weight and outsoles engineered for proficiency over multiple terrains. On top of that, we also take into account materials that thrive in all elements.
BIOM ULTRA TRAIL RUNNER YOU’RE GOING TO WISH FOR LONGER TRAILS This shoe fits like a glove and runs like a mountain lion. Its marvel of an outsole is engineered with two distinct performance zones: bigger cleats for more ground contact and propulsion, and specialised lugs for agility and better ground penetration. It’s exactly what you want a trail runner to feel like — an extension of your body.
BIOM ULTRA NATURAL ADVENTURES BEGIN HERE Glove-like fit, anatomical construction and a tenaciously proficient multiterrain outsole – all with full-up BIOM NATURAL MOTION capabilities. Designed for light hiking, day trips, biking and other outdoor recreation, this shoe is an excellent way to experience the benefits of natural movement.
