User Reviews
I purchased these for my son who wears a size 10. They were way big. We ended up finding a store that sold these shoes so he could try them on. He took home a size 8.5.
I have trouble giving this only a 3 star as some of the reason is I didn’t care to the look. Maybe should give this a 4 star. The toe was a little too pointed for my liking. The shoe appears of good quality and great finish. I ordered size 12-12.5 based on a current ECCO dress shoe that has 45/46 stamped on the bottom. This shoe is too large for my foot. Another ECCO shoe I ordered along with these shoes fit perfectly (size 12-12.5). I ordered it on Try Before You Buy. I will be returning. (Size and Style)
