ECCO to supply shoes for AT&T Pebble Beach
Danish shoemaker ECCO has been named official footwear supplier for the 2009 AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. The footwear manufacturer will outfit many sports, celebrity and entertainment participants at the event.
It will supply a selection of classic, casual and performance styles from its 2009 golf collection and will showcase its line at the on-site product pavilion.
According to the company, each ECCO golf shoe is touched by more than 225 pairs of hands during production. Its golf shoes are worn in competition by a number of Tour stars, including Fred Couples, Colin Montgomerie, Aaron Baddeley, Stuart Appleby, Thomas Bjorn, Arjun Atwal, Thongchai Jaidee, John Bickerton, Juli Inkster, Carin Koch, Iben Tinning and Linda Wessberg.
The shoes feature ultra-soft, high-grade leathers with hydrophobic treatments for superb weather-resistance and internal stabilisers to reduce torque and create ideal swing stability. Double-layer insoles are used to reduce stress on the knees, hips and back and an internal air circulation system helps to maintain a fresh, dry and cool foot environment.
