ECCO Biom 2.2: The Footwear That Taught Me to Trust My Feet Again
Thereโs a peculiar grief in realising most shoes are designed for feet that donโt existโidealised, symmetrical, immune to the indignities of hills, deadlines, and clumsiness.

Theย Biom 2.1sย feel treasonously light for leather bootsโlike wearing shadow instead of shoe. Yak leather, ECCOย claims. Iโm half-expecting them to hum Tibetan mantras. Instead, they absorb the Tubeโs juddering with the indifference of a monk meditating through […]
ECCOย Biom 2.0: The Shoes That Quietly Rewired My Relationship with Gravity
Thereโs an uncomfortable truth about modern footwear: most of it fights biology. Weโve spent millennia evolving tendons, arches, and a gait optimised for survivalโonly to cram our feet into rigid soles that treat walking as an engineering problem. Theย ECCO Biom 2.0 seriesย feels different. Not because it shouts about โinnovationโ or slaps on space-age jargon, but […]
