The ECCO SHAPE Collection offers cutting-edge, minimalist looks brought together in designs that achieve what was previously impossible; heels that look as good as they feel. Highlighting ECCO’s dedication to extraordinary women who shape the world, the second drop of the AW16 line-up celebrates razor-sharp technology with ECCO’s ‘magic’ heel taking centre stage. 

High heel wearers everywhere are joining the revolution following the launch of the ECCO SHAPE collection in August. Fashion and comfort combine as women demand more from their footwear, refusing to compromise style for comfort or vice versa and claiming a new and unique title: ‘comfortistas’.  

 

 

The Revolutionary Design

The design of the SHAPE Collection heel demonstrates the commitment to innovation at the heart of everything ECCO creates. Engineered to keep up with the day-to-day needs of modern women, each design has a foot bed which lowers the heel of the foot within the shank, allowing the 75mm heel to ‘grow’ an extra 15mm. giving women an elegant 90mm heel without the discomfort. 

 

The Perfect Silhouette 

ECCO’s passion for leather-making is echoed across the entire SHAPE Collection. The upper of each shoe, crafted with rich, soft calf leather and moulded with premium leather on the interior, provides optimum comfort, while the shoe’s simple silhouette conveys the distinctive Scandinavian design simplicity for which ECCO is renowned.
