ecco shoes

These shoes arrived promptly and fit very well. The most comfortable shoe I ever owned. This is my third pair.

My favorite Ecco casual

I pretty much only wear Ecco footwear, with the exception of odd items like western boots and pacs. My daily wear is Ecco's cap toe dress shoes, which I gave a glowing revew: ECCO Men's Austin Cap Toe Oxford

I've had two pairs of the Track shoes, and like them a lot for all-around casual wear. You get the same rugged construction, premium oil-impregnated leather, leather lining, etc. Like all Eccos, these wear like iron and last for years.

I give them 5 stars, but note that the sole doesn't last quite as long on these as some of Ecco's other shoes. The problem is that the outer polyurethane layer of the sole is just that - a layer over an inner, softer sponge rubber of some sort. The sole has a lot of give - it is VERY comfortable for city walking in spite of the aggressive tread pattern. Unfortunately, walking on hard surfaces will accelerate wearing through that outer sole layer, and you find yourself with little flaps of sole material sticking out here and there. Still, my last pair took about 3 years to get to that point with frequent wear. It broke my heart to toss them - the uppers still looked like new!

GREAT SHOES

I love these shoes. This is my 3rd or 4th pair. I generally wear them every day and they usually last about 2 years before the soles are worn out or they become "dirty work shoes". They are extremely comfortable from the first day of wear and maintain their waterproofness for a long time. I hardly ever have to use shoe polish on them since they have a tough matte black finish.

The only issue I have is that the laces become untied regularly--they don't want to hold a knot.

This last pair I purchased was like all the others in the past--same quality and everything. I may have gotten lucky and not gotten the newer lower quality versions the other reviews mention. I would hate to see these change.

Disappointed

I'm on my fourth pair of Track IIs. Over the years I've loved them and recommended them to everybody. Something has changed with this latest pair. On close inspection the leather doesn't look as thick and the assembled parts aren't as robust. And for the first time ever, given the same size I've always bought, they're too tight and they just aren't all that comfortable. They look and feel like a different shoe. I hope Ecco hasn't changed the manufacturing plant because they were perfect before.

Ecco Shoes

My new shoes are in the tradition of the other 2 pairs of the same kind that I have owned. These shoes are very durable and have lasted as long as 10 years of everyday wear. Sure they are expensive but these shoes lasts a long time.
