I've been wearing ECCO shoes and boots for many years, and these ones are big disappointment! Boy, these are stiff boots! I've had them for couple of weeks now, wearing daily, but they still don't feel comfortable.

Other than that, they are a good pair of durable boots - they look casual yet you can wear them in the office, latex sole provides pretty solid traction, Gore-tex provides protection from water. I am sure they will wear for years (I had similar ones that I had worn for 3 or 4 years)

ECCO has always been my product of choice despite their rather high price, but after these I might think twice before buying another ECCO.

UPD: After a couple of months wearing these shoes, they proved to be very good. They are still stiff, but not as bad now. The shoes are warm enough, and keep my feet dry. Changing the rating to 4 stars, one down from 5 only because these are stiff shoes!
