Unfortunately, the quality of Ecco shoes, like, waned in many other brand shoes in recent years. After a few days, and approx. 70 km mileage I have to fully connect with the reviewer: The upper shaft unusually hard, the lacing is extremely poor. The top hook can be threading with difficulty. The sole is but not slippery when wet and snow and quite handy. The shoe is during extended use in slush remained tight. For a shoe in this price range but you should expect more können.ag
Supplement in January 2015:
The sole is totally uprooted! No longer usable the shoe. Pity! Why is not a normal rubber sole uses? Probably every year is a new pair to buy. These shoes can also no longer be soled. It is a shame the rest of the leather is still totally OK I'll definitely make a warranty claim !!!
