text: I only just discovered Ecco shoes and I couldn't be happier. Both these and the two pairs of ballet flats I bought are perfect for city life - comfortable enough to walk around in all day, but with enough style to go with work (these) and cute casual (the ballet flats) outfits. They also have decent soles and support, something that's a must for my flat, overpronated feet. I have a pile of nice work shoes and ballet flats in my closet that never get worn because they just hurt too much to wear all day. It's definitely worth spending a bit more to get something I can enjoy wearing. I did have to order this pair twice to get the right size. I'm normally a 10.5, but in Ecco shoes, the 43s fit me perfectly. As long as these hold up over time, there will be a lot more Ecco shoes in my future.
