Not surprisingly, golf shoes came close to the top of the list of the goodies that most golfers would like to receive as gifts. I chose ECCO Golf Street Premier Golf Shoes for Men for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that I own a pair myself and can personally recommend them.

ECCO has long been known for its exclusive direct-injection technology, high-grade leathers, flexibility, durability and, of course, comfort. And comfort is, without doubt, the best recommendation for ECCO's men’s golf shoes in general, and the Golf Street Premier Golf Shoes in particular. Not only do they offer excellent arch support, this unique golf shoe is designed to provide you with "ideal traction, stability and comfort." The shoe features full-grain leather uppers while the outsole's roughly 100 molded traction bars that provide "more than 800 traction angles for excellent grip in all conditions. Read my full review of ECCO Golf Street Shoes.

The ECCO brand offers a wide range of both traditional and contemporary, all-weather designs. Each pair of ECCO golf shoes passes through more than 225 pairs of highly-skilled hands during a labor-intensive production process.

Ok, so what’s the catch? Well, they do tend to be a little on the expensive side: between $110 and $220 (Golf Street Premier costs $140). Yes, you can find less expensive golf shoes but, as we all know, you usually get exactly what you pay for, and I never did like to take chances with cheap shoes. And, if you’re looking for a gift that’s practical, attractive and comfortable, a pair of ECCO Golf Street Premier Shoes would certainly fit the bill.
