Superior product. Exemplary quality. Always gets tons of compliments.
So far i really like these ECCO Men's Grainer boots. Very light. Seem well made. Big toe box. Sole is quiet and flexible. Tongue is gusseted most of the way , a big plus. To me they look big on me but others say they look cool on me . Walking on very rocky terrain was was very comfortable. I liked them enough that I ordered another pair .
You’ll love every single thing about these if you buy them. They are comfortable durable easy to maintain stylish light weight and worth every penny paid for them
I'm very satisfied with my purchase, shoes are very comfy and very well made. I bought 3 pairs.
I like the shoes, but they were a bit heavy on my feet
Love the new design. Better grip on treads and smooth toe
