Cons – Not a great bargain

 

What we say:

 

The ECCO Cool 18 GTX is basically the same as the Golf Cool GTX, save for some design tweaks, and we have somewhat mixed feelings about it. On one hand, we love the combination of breathability and waterproofing, which obviously makes this shoe great for all seasons. However, we are slightly disappointed by its performance. By no means is it poor, but it doesn't excel either. It's certainly not cheap, and for this price, we were expecting a bit more. While we love Zarma spikes, the outsole itself doesn't feature much in the way of extra traction. Regardless of this, the Golf Cool GTX is quite innovative with its Dritton leather and cooling system.
