This is my first pair of ECCOs and I really love the cute style of this shoe.  I also love the gorgeous color, a lovely deep red.  I've been getting a lot of compliments on them.  I am a teacher and a New Yorker so I am on my feet A LOT!!  For us New Yorkers, shoes are like tires, they better be dependable!

That being said, I gave these a 4 star review, since they are good but not perfect.  As per other reviews, they run long.  I tried the 7 1/2, and it crushed every part of my foot.  The problem was, it stayed on!

I returned the 7 1/2 for a size 8, and sure enough, a much better fit in the toe bed.  Unfortunately, I traded space in the toe bed for a flat that is too long.  The shoes so long, that they just flop around when I walk.  I actually had to grab the stair railing to walk down a flight of stairs out of fear of tripping down them!

So, my next move is to get some kind of heel pad or elastic across the top of the foot to hold it on!  That's a lot of work for a shoe that sells itself on comfort.
