In front of ECCO® head quarters in Tønder, Denmark there is a statue of a giant foot that’s impossible to miss. The reason for it being a foot instead of a shoe is quite simple, the foot is the starting point for everything we create.
To better understand everything there is to know about the human foot we rely on the never-ending scientific work of people like Dr. professor Brüggemann at the Institute für Biomechanik. There, Dr. professor Brüggemann measures and monitors the movement of thousands of feet and uses this data to precisely identify every single size and the exact last specifcations that go into every singe pair of ECCO shoes.
The ECCO philosophy is a simple one: Our shoes must follow the foot.
