I can only agree with the positive statements about these shoes: lightweight, comfortable, stylish et cetera. However, a torn eye spoils the overall impression and since I am apparently not the first. It is one of the top Plastikösen. After two months of normal use, it is demolished. So miserable, as attached to the shoe, it's just a matter of time before the other loops also adopt. In order for the 129 euros shoes are first not to wear. A design flaw, lack of quality control, Monday's Shoes? Whatever, not just a recommendation for ECCO. The conversion is too expensive, so I'll follow the advice of my Vorrezensenten and again invest a few euros in metal eyelets. Addendum: leave for 5 euros at the cobbler attach on both shoes a couple of eyelets. Holds and good.
