I gave this shoe two stars because the shoes indeed look very nice. I listed them as being somewhat small. But the truth is they just have a truly lousy overall fit and feel while on my feet. I returned the first for being too large. Then I got the next smaller size and it just didn't fit or feel right. No need to get another pair, so I returned them for refund. I would simply say that people who are thinking about ordering this shoe should not be surprised if they fit differently than many other Ecco shoes, and if they fit and feel like nothing they have experienced before. Oh, and I can say for sure the the shoes fit about a half to full size larger than they should for the stated size. Why can't shoe manufacturers have the same shoe sizes within their own lines of shoes? And the same should be true with all shoes. There are standard sizes, but shoes are made with little reference to the standard sizes that they purport to represent.
