These were my first pair of Ecco brand shoes and upon wearing them, very disappointed. I'm a long time Clark shows wearer and decided to try these "talk about" Ecco brand shows so purchase these but got rid of them shortly thereafter. The color is beautiful, touching the shoes from the outside "appear" comfortable but when you put them on, within a matter of an hour or so, I wanted to take them off. Quite uncomfortable which surprised me but oh well, back to my Clark shows.
