Ecco was recommended to me by a friend who also has feet problems.  I no longer have plantar fasciitis thanks to these boots & my upper cervical care doc I am good to go.  I have a wide foot & w/the proper socks they are wide enough for me.  I can wear them all day long w/out any problems.  My feet only hurt after I have been on them for a really long time on a hard floor- I don't think it has to do w/the boot, it is just my flat feet.  I highly recommend these boots.  I got the brown boot and it looks great w/all my pants (navy, black, brown - I mostly wear).  I get lots of compliments about them & my upper cervical care doc said "Ecco that is a great shoe maker", Also, the color is great, the whole boot just looks awesome and also nice on my feet.  I am still thinking about getting the black. You can never have too many shoes if they don't hurt your feet and your feet love them :-)
