I bought these to replace my favorite pair of 6 year old ECCOs.  They finally hit the end of the road, and this style (especially in ECCO) is essentially non-existant in local stores.  I decided to buy my first pair online.  For sizing feedback, I typically wear a 9.5 shoe, I bought 43.  They are a bit tight and more narrow than I expected, but I suspect they will break in.  This is normal for my feet and toe room (length) is fine.  My advice is that if you have picky feet, maybe be prepared to return them if shopping online.  I was ok with that risk.  The style is more business/dressy than the previous pair that I was trying to replace.  A matter of taste I suppose (I do not consider myself trendy), and should be expected when buying any clothes or shoes online.  However, I will say that I am happy with the purchase and am keeping them.  The quality is much better than comparable brands.  They are a great looking pair of shoes and extremely comfortable to walk in.  The brand is worth the money in my book, I only wish that it was more prevalent in my area.
