Golfers across the world have seen (and maybe even donned) some interesting fashions over the years ranging from the utterly over-the-top to the outrageously fabulous. Can you say sweater vests, pop-pom berets, and checked wool capri pants? While the eye-catching taste of golf fashion has faded over time (save for the occasional costume), a more street-ready style for golfers has emerged on the scene. Enter Ecco. With an impressive repertoire of classic golf shoes, Ecco has created the new look of golf ready for the streets, the green, and everything in between. Meet the Golf Street from Ecco.

Ecco has been providing its timeless Scandinavian style for 40 years, always looking for the next improvement in comfort. Founded by a man fed up with ill-fitting shoes, Ecco now focuses their shoe design to eliminate the painful idea that a foot must conform to its shoe. Ecco specializes in making your feet look and feel good whether you’re navigating the green, taking a business lunch or both.

The Golf Street, while newer to Ecco’s collection of comfy, well-designed shoes, follows in the footsteps of the company’s mission to make shoes that fit, work and look good simultaneously. Those of us that have tried to find these three things in a shoe know it is no easy task; and those of us that have tried to find these things in a sport-specific shoe know it can be a less-than-appealing mission. Thankfully, the Golf Street shoe is here. The clear, gum-rubber outsole provides traction on the fairway through your swing and swagger. Inside the shoe, the Cambrelle liner works to wick away moisture and prevent abrasions, keeping your feet dry and ready to move. Ecco’s comfort fiber system works to promote air circulation in the shoe so you can stay cool on even the hottest days.

However, this birdie-enhancing technology is just one part of the equation. For women, finish off your khaki and polo golf attire with the eye-catching, color-popping leathers and laces of the Golf Street. Every shoe comes with two color-coordinated laces for the choosy, and the colors are unique and playful. For men, the Golf Street Premiere is designed in more neutral colors, with its distinct style emerging in the flair of the young, retro design.

If you seek comfortable shoes for 18 holes and a round of Arnold Palmers look no further than the Golf Street from Ecco. With impeccable street-to-green styling and performance enhancing technologies, walk all day downtown and all 18 holes in comfort and style by Ecco.

Trying on Vibram FiveFinger shoes for the first time can be a daunting, even embarrassing task. Once you've plucked up the courage or the support entourage to make it to your local shoe store, we want you to be prepared for what is coming your way. The following is a step-by-step guide to trying on the ever-popular Vibram FiveFinger barefoot shoe.

1. Decide on a Style: Vibram makes a wide selection of styles from which to choose, each unique in purpose. The Bikila, for example, is Vibram's running FiveFinger, featuring a running-specific sole and enclosures. The Sprint is great for water sports, the Performa and Moc are great for yoga and the Classic is great for everyday use. Browse Vibram FiveFinger styles to find the perfect match for your wants and needs in a barefoot shoe.

2. Know Your Vibram Size: Vibram FiveFingers are listed in European sizes. Vibram has created a very handy sizing chart for men and women based on the style you want and your foot measurement in inches. Get that ruler out and see the sizing chart on their website.

3. Toes First: For many, getting the shoes to fit your toes can be the most difficult part of the FiveFinger journey. Begin by getting your toes and forefoot in the shoe. Position the toes just before each toe slot and plant the ball of your foot on the ground. Now wiggle. Use your fingers as much as you can to guide your toes to their perspective places. You may have to count your toes. Don't be shy, count 'em!

4. Heel in and Adjust: Once the toes are in slide the rest of the shoe under your heel and adjust all the straps to your liking. Some styles have more adjusters than others so make sure you have found them all!

5. How They Should Fit: Once you’re over the initial shock of how they look, step away from the mirror and get in tune with your feet. Your Vibram FiveFingers might not be fitting correctly if there is extra space at the end of toes, a heel is rubbing or there is uncomfortable tightness anywhere on the shoe. The Vibrams are meant to fit your foot like a glove, so make sure they are snug but not too tight or loose. If you're not sure, try on another size.

6. Take Them for a Spin! Now that you've stood in one place and evaluated how your feet feel, test them out! If you're going to be running...run! Walk around, twirl, boogie or hop in your Fivefingers and make sure you can feel yourself wearing these for your activities.

Remember that Vibram Fivefinger shoes may take some effort to get into at first, but this gets easier with time and practice like anything worth doing. Similarly, you will need to break your body into barefooting, especially if you are planning to run in your new shoes. You will most likely want to wear them 24-7, but take it easy for the first few weeks and let your body adapt to this new way of exploring the world. When you find the right style, size, and fit for your feet, you're ready to rock the Comfortable Shoes barefoot movement my friend!
