1. The Slip-On Revolution: 30-Second Exit Strategy
The Biom 2.2 slip-on redefines โeffortlessโ with its stretchy neoprene collar and supple full-grain yak leather.

You focus on not tripping.โ
2. Comfort So Sneaky, Itโs Almost Criminal
ECCOโs BIOM NATURAL MOTIONยฎ tech isnโt just jargonโitโs witchcraft. The footbed mimics your soleโs natural curves, guiding your stride like an invisible hand. The redesigned PHORENEโข 3.0 midsole delivers cloud-like cushioning without the marshmallow squish, making cobblestones feel like brushed suede.
And the DIP TREAD outsole? Hexagonal pods grip everything from polished office floors to rain-slick docks, functioning like GPS for your feet: โSlippery surface detected. Initiating gecko mode.โ
3. Leather Thatโs Tough as Nails (But Soft as a Nap)
Yak leather? Yes, yak. ECCOโs Himalayan-sourced hide is water-repellent, scratch-resistant, and softer than your dogโs post-bath mood. The slip-onโs leather moulds to your foot within days, creasing artfully around the toesโless โnew shoe stiffness,โ more โfavourite leather armchair.โ Choose black for stealthy sophistication or White for weekend-in-the-Cotswolds vibes.
