Dress and casual footwear provider Ecco USA, Inc. has launched five new collections within the autumn/winter 2006 women's line. Each of the collections—New York, Nevada, Arizona, Kansas and Washington—features an assortment of modernised-classic silhouettes designed for women both at work and at home.

The New York collection's booties and loafers feature Ecco-patented Direct Inject technology, fusing the upper to the shoe through an injection of hot, liquid polyurethane adding greater comfort and flexibility. The New York GTX XCR boot also incorporates a Gore-Tex membrane to protect feet in autumn weather. The Nevada, Arizona, Kansas and Washington models come in warm autumn colours made from rich leathers and suede ranging from urban casual to workwear styles.

Denmark-based Ecco Sko A/S has subsidiaries in over 52 countries including North America, Europe and the Far East.
