User Reviews
These are beautifully constructed and very light and comfortable shoes. I even like the plain workman-like appearance. However, be sure to order a little bigger as they run small. Specifically, narrow. Luckily I did order a 45 rather than 44 based on prior reviews. Glad I did, as they are a perfect fit. Snug with a heavy sock though.
I like the style and I have been wearing ECCOs for years in the same size. What I like about ECCOs is typically they give room for your feet to flex and are comfortable as soon as you put them on. I ordered this shoe and the Men's Fusion Tie Oxford/ AKA APRON-TOE DERBY. In the same size. The Oxford fit much better.If you have narrow feet then this shoe will probably work for you, I have average feet and felt it was a litt too snug and did not want to see if they would break in.
These shoes are far from the correct size. I have a smaller foot so it's hard to find good shoes. They claimed they carried my size but when I tried them on they were 3 to 4 sizes to big (not including half sizes). I double checked my order and the tag on the shoes and everything matched my correct size except the actual shoe.
I ordered size 42 (EU), and they fit perfect. They are not as tight as some customers have mentioned. They are just very snug for a few days until you break them in. I'm glad they are just a little bit tight 'cause shoes expand as they get older. My other Ecco shoes, also size 42, were not as snug/tight as these, so over time they felt a bit loose. I'm thrilled with these, I love them I'm walking much better in them too! Thank!
