This is my 3rd pair of ECCO, but unfortunately, less comfortable than the predecessors which were different models. The overall comfort level is acceptable, but with higher expectations of ECCO, I had expected more. The sole can do with more padding, so that there is more cushion on walking. Also, the toes get slightly squeezed in my size 44 and I should have ordered some other model with a wider size like EE or EEE. I'd still give some other ECCO models a try in future but not the New Jersey Tie Oxford.
