OMG ya'll, where to even begin. I don't know if I just got a defective shoe or if this is typical of ECCO, but the quality is severely lacking. I'd be upset if a shoe half this price had all these issues. I'm just going to make a list for ease of reading.

CONS
1) Small holes in the rubber sole. Lots of them. Never have I seen such a thing. I'm going to guess when the sole was molded tiny air bubbles were present, creating this swiss cheese disaster.
2) Very obvious seams on the front and back of the rubber sole. I was so baffled by this I thought I was the crazy one, and maybe all my sneakers have seams and I just never noticed. So I checked and no. This is just shoddy craftsmanship.
3) The edges of the leather weren't smooth and looked worn.
4) Scuff marks. Only one is visible in the pictures (on the heel) but there were a few more that just didn't show up well when photographed.
5) The white leather has a greyish look to it, and the laces are beige, not white. They are also weirdly stiff.
6) On the inside of the shoe, you can see the green underside of the insole. To be honest, I probably wouldn't have cared about that if it wasn't on top of all these other bizarre issues.

Basically, this shoe was just one giant cluster----. But on a positive note, the leather was very soft and it was actually pretty comfortable. Ha.
