One of the more welcome trends in golf is the renewed popularity of walking (with a caddie, ideally) over riding in a cart. And if you're going to walk, you need to pay attention to what you wear on your feet. ECCO, the Danish shoemaker known for its durable soft-soled styles, has introduced a top-of-the-line golf shoe designed for the player who wants comfort without sacrificing a classic look.

The World Class Ltd. Edition, which the company debuted at the recent PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, features super lightweight cushioning and an internal stabilizer for crucial support during the swing. It also has a Gore-Tex membrane for water resistance. In terms of styling, the shoe has genuine leather uppers and a handsome stitched saddle and leather welt. It comes in four color combinations: white on white, black on black, white with black saddle and white with coffee saddle (pictured). Priced at $430, the new model will be available at select on- and off-course retailers and at www.eccousa.com. You'll also see it on the feet of Fred Couples, Colin Montgomerie, Aaron Baddeley and other sharp-dressed PGA Tour pros this season.
