I love the Ecco Soft 7, this is my third color, so you could say I'm a little obsessed. They fit my high arch, high instep, narrow heel very well and I can walk the same distance as my more traditional sneakers. I was a bit unsure about the metallic leather, but every time I've worn these other people love them so they're growing on me and I love the black sole as the white is harder to keep clean. (If you buy a white sole, Magic Eraser is helpful)
