With three wins in four starts on the Champions Tour this year and a sixth place finish at the Masters, Fred Couples is playing some of his best golf in a long time, and he’s doing it all in his own casually inimitable style, starting with his footwear, which resembles boat shoes.
Couples is wearing Ecco’s new Golf Street Premier golf shoes, mainly because they’re easier on his bulky back than a traditional pair but they also seem to fit his easygoing demeanor, as well. No one saunters quite like Freddie. He makes walking into an art.
The Golf Street does not have spikes but it does have about 100 traction bars made from wear-resistant TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) jutting out in more than 800 different directions for plenty of turf grip even in the wettest conditions. It also has a Comfort Fiber insole with so much moisture management and climate control that Couples goes sockless a la Sonny Crockett in Miami Vice.
The best part about them is that you can put them on at home, drive to the course in them and then wear them all day. No need to change in and out of golf shoes. This is literally one shoe that fits all.
