Men's, Soft 7 City Sneaker

Really like these shoes. The leather seems high quality - Scuffs easily, but in my opinion, a little leather wear adds to the look (and buffs out easily if you want.) I have the cognac version, which is a rich reddish-brown color. Super comfortable after the adjustment noted below. Outsole seems durable and has good traction. Insole is supportive. (I usually replace my shoes' insoles with more supportive ones, but I didn't need to with these). A couple of notes - As others have mentioned, scuffs on the white soles are almost impossible to get out. I have to use a magic eraser which gets the soles mostly clean - and they look sharp enough to my eyes. However, if you wear them regularly, don't expect them to ever look as bright and clean as when they arrive. I'd love to see this model with a black sole. - There is a small hotspot I noticed when I first got them on the inner foot where two seams align with the lace. I reversed the lace direction and that fixed the issue.

Ecco is just the most comfortable shoe out there...High quality! I have several pairs of shoes, all excellent!

Very comfortable and stylish. Fit to size. Leather good quality.

I wear mine to work regularly and casually. They are great for casual dressy occasions. They are comfortable, even when doing a fair amount of walking. I found they run big, I had to send them back and go down a full size. The laces are very long, but that's a minor personal preference thing. So far they seem to be well made and holding up.

Living in a city like New York where you walk 90% of the time to most destinations makes it hard on both feet and shoes. I've tried just about every major sneaker maker and all of them are too narrow, too flat, or just don't hold up well after time. This is my first pair of ECCO shoes and at first I was a little weary about the price but decided to try them after reading reviews in many places. I was delighted to find that there was almost no "break in" period. They were immediately comfortable and have maintained that. Plus they look really nice. The "cognac" color was a little darker than the pictures but I liked it. Love the feeling of the quality leather feel of the shoe itself. I've gotten a few compliments on them already!

The best sneakers ever made

I've worn ECCO shoes for a long time and I currently have four pairs. I ordered this pair of ECCO Men's Soft 7 City Tie Sneakers since that last pair of ECCO Sneakers are starting to show their wear. I have trouble finding comfortable shoes that will last for more than 6 to 7 months, but I have worn the original pair for about 2 years. I wore them every day of the week and I love them dearly. I have worn the Soft 7 City Sneakers 2-3 times per week at most, but they have about the same wear issues that the original pair has after all that use. The toe piece is now two pieces, stitched together where the pieces for the laces meets the toe. The tongue leather is too soft and folds up where the tongue is stitched to the toe piece, creating a perfect wrinkle to put blisters on the top of your toes. They have eliminated the metal eyes for the lacing and replaced them with a hole punched in the leather, making it difficult to feed the laces when necessary, and to get the shoe cinched up to fit snugly. Bottom Line: The next time I look for comfortable shoes that last, it's likely I will NOT look at the ECCO brand.

The quality is quite mediocre, showing internal wear after only a few uses. Previously, I had a positive experience with ECCO. Not worth it.
