Not sure who wrote the script for that load of bollocks from Shiels and his sidekick. Does he really think people are that thick they can’t see through the “ I’ve tested them , I have an audience to think about” nonsense. ABBA knew about Ecco years ago “ Money Money Money”
Don't know much about Ecco apart from seeing them in shops as a comfort shoe with a shaped insole I think, but they are expensive. I've never seen anyone wearing them, I will start accosting the ladies at my club and ask to see their shoes. Probably be looking for a new club soon.
About time he came clean with these shady deals. I reckon Faldos joke had something to do with this! Got to say the justification from them both is toe curling.
It is actually much worse than that they are banned across much of Europe for not pulling out Russia and funding the war against Ukraine. I don't get upset about much but someone boasting that they are getting money from an organisation that is funding the murder of innocent civilians and claiming the high moral ground and how ethical they are is beyond sick.
If there's one thing that puts me off more watching a Shills podcast more than being infomercialled and the general lack of anything interesting, it's Smithers… Sat there brown nosing, glazed adorning eyes… I thought I'll watch the break 75 … And there he is playing golf too… I'm sure he's worked his way through the years with Rick and earned this but….
My main gripe with Shiels is that he's very keen to impact some new cash cow he has as if the viewer is going to be as excited about it as he is…..and that these sponsorships aren't just good for his personal finances but they are business partners and helping his product…….which is good for the viewer of course. He only works with sponsors where he's done quality control on. It's not convincing at all.
The level of narcissism dripping out of him too is off the scale. That sycophantic sidekick in that podcast clip was nauseating.
Sorry to comment for a third time! I really need to watch these videos til the end before I comment!! It isn’t that old rude boy brand ecko from sport and ski! It’s spelt Ecco never heard of it! But Ricky loves a pound note they must pay well!
So he's basically saying he's got boxes of Footjoy, Mizuno, Under Armour, Skechers, Adidas, Nike and Stubert and they are all shit. Or they didn't pay.
I'd never heard of the brand until this but its such a cringe-fest watching these two make out that they are enthusiastic about the company that's paid them the most money. Personally I like a bit of Under Armour, not ladies kit!
On another note Dan Hendrickson has only gained 1400 subs in just over 4 months. Is that showing his subs are genuine or are people just no longer subscribing to golf channels ?
HA! That was your best vid yet. A great audition reel for a part in a sit-com. You could become the Larry David of Britain. Or the goofy neighbor of whoever your neighbors are. Oh my gosh. It could be a reality series! Actually you're quite funny. Good on ya. Keep it going. The character is developing. That is just a character, right?
I think club manufacturers have had enough of him and like minded youtubing golfers. So the only sponsors they can get now are spurious shoe producers. Lets face it, two million subscribers and thats the best he can get
In fact Shiels, Crossie, Hendrikson all sponsored by shoe companies Club manufacturers must have done the numbers and decided no return worthwhile for them on youtubers. Bubble is bursting

Coach Lockey wears them too 👍🏻
You're right, Ecco shoes aren't very masculine. They are for Shielsy who's insecure about his double chins.
High heels ?
Not sure who wrote the script for that load of bollocks from Shiels and his sidekick.
Does he really think people are that thick they can’t see through the “ I’ve tested them , I have an audience to think about” nonsense.

“ Money Money Money”

Echo is spelt echo no other pronunciation. These shoes are ecco as in ecology.
Please do not bastardise the English language ya dick Rick.
Only one shoe in golf – Footjoy

Hahahhah he must think his audience are stupid…. they just keep lapping this garbage up.
Coach lockey wears them lee Westwood even asked what they were !!

There new shoes look great, are they expensive? Yes but so are footjoys

I'm from Yorkshire buddy, when I'm back in blighty you fancy doing a video "Crocs V Clogs – which is the best golf shoe" 😉
I dont watch Rick cheese so i cant comment
nice one TB keep it going chap
Thanks for this TB. Moon face seems so sincere I must go out and buy a pair. Such a genuine man it brings tears to my eyes.
So he's basically saying he's got boxes of Footjoy, Mizuno, Under Armour, Skechers, Adidas, Nike and Stubert and they are all shit. Or they didn't pay.
Ricks various, ever evolving versions of the combover always makes me chuckle. His barber must be running out of ideas
Come on Bloke, they are really good shoes. But I did laugh for 7:05 straight, so, nice work.
I'd never heard of the brand until this but its such a cringe-fest watching these two make out that they are enthusiastic about the company that's paid them the most money. Personally I like a bit of Under Armour, not ladies kit!
Hmmmm , Mr Cheese says he’s been testing them for ages ,has he ever done a video where he mentions Ecco ,before they dropped the cash on him .
TB, Get back to your ironing.
On another note Dan Hendrickson has only gained 1400 subs in just over 4 months. Is that showing his subs are genuine or are people just no longer subscribing to golf channels ?
How bored would you have to be to think “I know, I’ll watch the Shiels podcast”? Not to mention the cost of sick bags…
HA! That was your best vid yet. A great audition reel for a part in a sit-com. You could become the Larry David of Britain. Or the goofy neighbor of whoever your neighbors are. Oh my gosh. It could be a reality series! Actually you're quite funny. Good on ya. Keep it going. The character is developing. That is just a character, right?
I think club manufacturers have had enough of him and like minded youtubing golfers.
So the only sponsors they can get now are spurious shoe producers.
Lets face it, two million subscribers and thats the best he can get
So hes played two rounds on his "break 75" marathon. So far hes shot 85 and 83
😂What do those two wallys take us for?
Ecco what? Falls? 😂
Totally agree with everything your saying Topbloke. Also it’s not just women, you normally see complete tossers wearing them lol
In fact Shiels, Crossie, Hendrikson all sponsored by shoe companies
Club manufacturers must have done the numbers and decided no return worthwhile for them on youtubers.
Bubble is bursting
Crocs do make a golf shoe. Ecco are very comfy
I wish I could find a sponsor for shoes but as I have clown size feet I think my only chance would be Billy Smarts Circus.
He's a grifter for sure
