Once I had to dispose of some of Ecco shoes after several years gestation period for sole breakage, I ordered this half-height lace-up shoes. They fit so well, as I'm used to it from Ecco and run itself wonderfully comfortable. However, some Ecco models should not be stored for years obviously, since otherwise the soles become brittle. Therefore, I will now confine myself to this a winter model, instead zuzulegen a selection of several models.
