Outdoor Retailer, SLC
Well ---obviously an outdoor/lifestyle footwear company doesn't get to be 50 years young without improving on its own DNA-via innovative techy methods and materials, and new styles---mixed in with an adherence to its high standards' heritage...

| BIOM EVO RACER breathable mesh-Performance Run ---minimalistic with some support, big plus stitched down tongue-anatomical collar...so annoying having to adjust, NOT HERE |
ECCO, a Danish based company---is a world wide seller of everyday and active oriented shoes...who, as we learned (just)---is the only major company "to own and manage every step in the shoe making process---
Meaning...ECCO owns its own factories and tanneries worldwide---which is not only gets an A+ for Quality Control 101, but also guarantees implementation of the company's Code of Conduct that encompasses ethical business practices and monitors its eco footprint in the areas it operates. Very important to members of the outdoor community where cradle to cradle sustainability is transparent---or becoming more so-and absolutely determines consumer favs. And it should---as we highly doubt anyone would want to drink water bottled downstream from most leather tanneries and factories, anywhere.
NEW-BIOM TERRAIN AND ULTRA...trail and light hikers...

| fyi---the pink cage like heel/outsole aka the 2 component Rubber/PU sole might look 'heavy' in a 2D image----but is insanely light. PLUS-energy returns with each step, |
An ECCO claim to fame is its proprietary breakthrough
BIOM Natural Motion technology---resulting in -since 2009-a performance line of golf shoes (huge!!!!), water sport sandals, walkers, trainers, running/racing, hard core and day hikers etc-that evolved from the exact scanning of 2500 athletes' feet---to construct an anatomically precise last...like a second skin to the foot-that's lightweight, durable, and supportive without over stability- using YAK leather and unique direct-injection technology that allows for anatomical construction and a unique PU foam.
And of course---refining each successive BIOM line---based on feedback and further testing.
