I have a pair of ECCO dress shoes, rather I should say I have 4 pairs of the same ECCO dress shoe, because they are soooo darn comfortable, I had to buy more than one pair just in case they stopped making that model.  As it turns out, most all of the ECCO shoes that I tried on are just as comfortable.  As for these golf shoes, I have to say the hefty price tag is well worth it.  My old pair of golf shoes were made by Nike (only two seasons!).  I compared those worn out shoes to my new ECCO pair and realized that all of the breakdown in the construction and design of the Nike pair, was taken into consideration by ECCO in the construction of their golf shoe.  I'm not picking on Nike by any means, I imagine that ECCO probably studied many major brands, but on my pair of Nike, they leather on the outside toe area was starting to peel away from the rubber.  If you look at the ECCO images, you will find that they have reinforced that area.  Also, they heel of my Nike began to tear away.  The ECCO "street" style doesn't have a "dress" heel, so I don't foresee that being a problem.  My only concern, is that the tread is not replaceable, like on a standard golf shoe, the spikes can be replaced.  I have not entirely read through the specs.  Maybe the tread can be replaced, IDK.

As for the sizing, I know it sounds strange, but both previous contradicting reviews regarding the sizing are true.  I guess that's what is considered a paradox.  Here's the problem...they don't make a half-size, so if you are a 9.5, the Euro 43 is too snug.  You should get a 44, and if you are a 10, you should also get a 44.  I wear a 9.5 in some shoes, and 10 in others.  I tried on the 43 and it was way too snug by at least 1/2 size.  I ended up getting the 44 which is actually 1/2 size too big.  According to the international shoe size conversion table, a 43 is a 9.0 and a 44 is 10.5  WTH?  Go figure.  If not for this ridiculous shoe sizing, I would have rated this 5 stars.

It's two years later...still wearing these muggs.  The color has gotten a bit faded, but I purchased some ECCO brand shoe wax (which they don't sell at Amazon), looks like new!  The only problem with these shoes, once the spikes wear out, they are not replaceable.  My solution was to purchase: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D3LAZ9O/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=2JNKSEKE2PEG5&coliid=I2ADTRRW7XUOGJ I molded my own, and super glued them on.  Works perfectly.  Better than letting $180 pair of shoes go to waste.  Once in awhile, one pops off from all the torque I get from my 300 yd driver (not).  I just mold another one and I'm ready for the next round!  I think I'm going to be wearing these until I retire.  I have friends who buy a new pair of another brand (Nike) golf shoes every season, because they are cheaply made, they wear out quickly.  One guy was putting his shoes on, and the tongue tore off.  Another, has the sole splitting away from the shoe where the toe posts on the finish.
