Is the ECCO BIOM C5 fully waterproof?

Yes. It uses a GORE-TEX SURROUND membrane, which is waterproof and also vents moisture out through the sides of the sole as well as the upper.

How does the BIOM C5 differ from the previous BIOM model?

The main changes are the new BIOM C5 outsole, tuned for grip on wet grass, sand and mud, and a stretch knit sock collar in place of the older collar design.

Does it fit true to size?

Most buyers take their usual ECCO size. The removable insole lets you add a little width if you need it, and the knit collar runs snug around the ankle.

Are these spiked or spikeless?

Spikeless. The molded BIOM C5 outsole uses a multi-directional tread pattern rather than removable spikes, so it is fine to wear off the course.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes. The insole is removable and washable, and taking it out gives extra room in the shoe.

What is the BOA Fit System?

It is a dial-and-wire lacing system. You turn the dial to tighten evenly and pull it up to release, instead of tying laces.
