Soles looked funny at first... I have fallen in love with ECCOs. My pair is the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned. The quality is not lacking anywhere. Even the laces are heavy duty and 1st class. In the rain, they stay dry due to the soles being one integrated piece with the shoe upper. When they get dirty, I just wipe them with a damp cloth to make them look like new. I really have never had a better wearing shoe. The only thing I would change is the clunky-looking sole, but I forgot about it a few minutes after walking in them. Buy a pair - YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

Ecco Cross. I am a large built man, and on my feet sometimes 10 hours a day. I'm in the car business. I'm now on my 4th pair of Cross Ecco shoes, since 1992, -and only to change colors! These shoes look great and perform unbelievable! I've given away all of my fancy Italian designer shoes for the #1 Ecco line! Thanks- WT

From Richard Headley: Hi, I would just like to say I've owned two pair of SeaWalkers and they're the very best shoes I've ever worn. I work as a barber and am on my feet ten to twelve hours a day. I've never had any foot problems thanks to ECCO.

High Quality at Reasonable Price. Overall, the Ecco Sea Walker is one of the most comfortable, best fitting shoes I have found in years. The quality is close to a $300 Mephisto or Finn Comfort Shoe at half the price. I bought mine for casual wear, but have also used them for hikes of 2 miles for so. A great all around shoe, especially good for traveling when you don't have room to pack a second pair of shoes. For those of us with foot problems, the wide toe box, smooth leather lining and soft nubuck uppers are especially nice features. Compared to some other Eccos, these shoes run a little short; so order up if you are borderline on sizes. I like the Sea Walker so well, I just ordered the slip-on version from Zappos.

So Impressive, I Bought A Second Pair! When my shoe salesman brought out the pair of rust Seawalkers, I said, "No way!" But as soon as he slipped them onto my feet, I knew I was in trouble. They fit like a dream from the very first moment and although they were not the dress shoes I had planned to purchase, I could not resist buying them. I am very glad I did. So glad, in fact, that I returned after three weeks and bought a black pair as well. In addition to weekend service, I now wear them with dress slacks and shirt and tie at work and frankly don't care whether people think they are appropriate or not. My feet feel great at the end of the day and that's what matters most! I am sold on Ecco quality, fit and performance!! My next purchase will be a pair of Ecco hiking boots.
