text: I have bought my husband ECCO shoes for years and just this week bought another pair that were manufactured in Portugal and the fit as expects and were comfortable.  As soon as the shoes were slipped on, my husband said one shoe hurt his foot.  It's unfortunate ECCO has begun manufacturing it's shoes to an inferior standard.  The price was the same if I had purchased at Nordstroms, the Amazon price was not discounted.  All of my husbands other shoes are wonderful and he raves about their comfort.  Will be shipping these back ASAP.
