I bought a pair of Eccos every year for many years, until the sole of my Seawalkers fell apart in a sticky goopy mess.  Ecco said since it was over a year they couldn't do anything for me.  I haven't bought any Ecco's since.  It's a crying shame because they were the best thing I could find.  It's very weird to have your soles turn into a slippery sticky mess.

After a couple years, and trying a couple other hiking boot brands, I thought I'd give Ecco another try, but the size I used to wear was too big for me by a lot, and the next size down was too small.  The ding dong at the store said my feet got smaller (that doesn't even make sense).  So I took 3 old pairs into the store and the new shoe of the same size and same model (Track II) was obviously bigger than the old shoes I brought in, by nearly half an inch.

Ecco shoes are not exactly cheap.  I wonder why the quality control is not working.  It's not like they are $15 shoes from Kmart or Walmart, that you kind of wonder how they can even afford to make them.

I used to think Ecco was terrific, but with the soles disintegrating, and the sizing inconsistencies, I wonder what has gone wrong at Ecco Headquarters.  My Seawalkers disintegrated a few years ago, but searching the internet, it still seems like a problem.

I'm still hoping for signs the company turns around.  I loved my Eccos.
