I wear for several years very much like Ecco shoes, they are well-made, comfortable, look good and offer real at first glance in the new state a good value for the money. Unfortunately, the shoes have a very limited shelf life, which was never really aware of me until all my shoes from Ecco business after some time the soles began to dissolve. In the first 2 pair, where this happened, I'm still expected to wear because I had worn for 2 years a lot, but the same phenomenon now appeared at a couple who had actually only been in the closet and maybe 5 or was taken 6 times. The problem always occurs in the same manner to the heel ... suddenly opens a weld (not even when wearing), "escape" the air cushion and the shoe is thereby irreparably unusable. Too bad, so you can actually only discard the shoes, repair is obviously really impossible. Maybe you should Ecco shoes So, similar to car tires, imprinting a sort of expiration date, an Internet research has revealed that this problem apparently occurs very frequently. The Maillwechsel with the Ecco-hotline was little Surrender, the first mail was aubgespeist on lowermost call center level, at a verbal gestigerten Consultation of reference now came to the dealer who is responsible for warranty claims ... yes, the guarantee is in my up burst Eccos naturally expired, therefore no warranty, no grace and no explanation what this defect is. So tired with doing and so happy I actually wear Ecco shoes, I think those deficiencies have not justifiable and will switch to another brand.
