I've now owned this pair in Bison color for nearly 20 months and it has held up well.  These have been my office and casual shoes and I wear them daily.  Wear them to the office or hiking equally.  You can setup the laces where these shoes slip on and its very convenient to have at the airport while going through security. I have not had any issue with the sole disintegrating like some of the early reviews.  The stitching is solid and there is no fraying, they can polish up nicely with some leather cleaner.  In the last few months I had to get some inside shoe liner as those wore out after a year of daily use.  The ECCO Track II are water resistant and the only way you can get water in them is if your foot is submerged.  Walking through small puddles will not be a concern and you'll only have to worry about getting your pant leg dirty.

The only thing I can say negative about these shoes is that they only come in medium width. Note the sizes are European. Euro size 44 is about US size 10.

Comfort:  5 out of 5
Arch Support:  5 out of 5
Foot Stability (test by standing on one foot): 5 out of 5
Motion Control (ankle roll): 4 out of 5 (only very few running shoes get 5 out 5)
