User Reviews
Very nice! Love it
These shoes are super comfortable. I tried to size down to 8/8.5 as recommended, but they were too narrow. I needed a 9/9.5. I wear a size 9. I've received a ton of compliments. Highly recommend this shoe!
The break in period gave me blisters. I have to buy insoles and and blister covers. Took about 2 weeks to break them in. Now that they’re molded to my feet, I get compliments all the time and can wear them with no pains. Good quality shoes!
After stretching them on my job in the office - wearing it for four hours per day, these shoes are still uncomfortable and hurt my feet a lot. They also squeak as I walk. They make my feet sweat.I kept them because of the construction and the material are substantial and of high quality.However, the left shoe is much wider and longer than the right shoe. This is the second pair with Ecco’s shoes. Left shoe feels like 1/2 size larger than the right - but it was marked as if these shoes were the same.I kept them but wouldn’t walk in these on the street - they will hurt my feet on the asphalt road.Maybe one more year of stretching and they will be my favorite.
On the black version of this loafer, there is a white rubber strip that wraps from the bottom around to the side of the sole. The other colors have a similar strip, but in a darker color that makes it inconspicuous. Why would Ecco ruin a beautiful black loafer with his tackywhite strip? So disappointing!😢
It's more mauve than pink or rose, but it's sort of an ugly mauve. I bought them because this color was on sale. If you're on the fence about the color, pass on them.
The front was very long, so my usual 9 was too big. Didn’t try an 8.5 yet.
Very comfortable loafer. Other reviews mentioned not liking the white detail on the sole, but I thought it made the shoe more interesting. I own other Ecco shoes and boots and these were unfortunately much too big. Normally wear a 37 (6-6.5) in Ecco. These fit more like a 38 (7-7.5). Will be returning. Also small nit picky detail—box was crushed and smelled bad, like it had been stored in a damp basement. Kind of put me off ordering another pair in the right size.
