What makes ECCO shoes different from other brands?

How does ECCO Comfort Fibre System (CFS®) work?
The ECCO Comfort Fibre System uses a specially treated inlay sole with tiny perforations that allow air circulation inside the shoe. This keeps feet cooler, drier, and fresher throughout the day.
Are ECCO shoes waterproof?
Many ECCO shoes feature HYDROMAX® leather treatment or GORE-TEX® technology, which provide water resistance or full waterproofing while allowing the shoe to remain breathable.
What is ECCO BIOM® Natural Motion® Technology?
