Versatile Shock-Absorbing Sneakers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

ECCO's Zipflex Seamlessly Goes from City Streets to Trails

— January 25, 2021 — Fashion
ECCO has launched its new Zipflex sneaker line for shoppers in need of a shoe that does it all—whether they're heading out to work, or off to a hike.

The sneakers boast ECCO Fluidform that offers supportive cushioning that rebounds as they move, which is enhanced by the Shock Thru technology that will absorb impact. The sneakers also feature an ergonomic design, which is made to form to the natural shape of the wearer's foot for all-day comfort. For an easy-to-adjust fit, the brand includes a wider lace-up front. Like all ECCO shoes, the Zipflex collection spotlights the brand's premium leather and textiles, giving it a balance of durability and style that helps to enhance its performance.
