- Is the ECCO Biom 720 Gore-TEX actually waterproof?
- Yes. It has a Gore-TEX membrane under the leather and mesh upper, which blocks rain and puddles while letting vapor out. It is not designed for standing in deep water.
- Can I use it for running or the gym?
- It is a walking and everyday sneaker, not a running shoe. The cushioning and tread are tuned for pavement and light paths, so it is a poor choice for regular running or gym training.
- How does it fit compared with other ECCO shoes?
- It follows ECCO's Biom last, which is shaped to the foot with a roomier toe box. Many wearers take their usual ECCO size, but those with wide feet often go up half a size.
- Is it good for summer?
- The mesh helps, but the waterproof membrane holds heat. It is more comfortable in spring, fall and mild weather than in hot, humid conditions.
- What is the difference from the standard Biom 720?
- The Gore-TEX version adds a waterproof membrane and a leather-and-nubuck upper. The plain Biom 720 is more breathable but not waterproof.
- Does it need breaking in?
- Most owners report little break-in. The leather softens within a few wears, though the firmer sole takes a little getting used to.
