I bought this shoe for my son because I am personally aware of the fine quality of Ecco Men's footwear and the incredible arch support that they are constructed with. Sadly, this shoe lacked that arch support I was expecting, which was not up to par with the many other styles of men's Ecco footwear that I own. This is a beautiful looking sneaker...very classy and incredibly fashionable I would say, but I had to return them because the arch support was sorely lacking. The shoe also ran a bit small. I can't say enough about the quality of an Ecco men's shoe..they are outstanding. But, if you are looking for that infamous Ecco support, this particular style does not fit the bill. A fashion statement it is, although some of us need more than just good looks.
