These true-to-size hiking boots are very comfortable and easily accommodate my Rx orthotics. They look good enough to wear with a coat and tie to work or in casual everyday use and can be worn with judicial robes with hardly a titter from the court room. Good ankle and arch support with roomy toe box make for comfortable, extended hikes.

The customer service from Zappos is always outstanding, shipping speed this time wildly exceeded my expectations. Continue the great work guys, it’s truly appreciated particularly considering so many others don’t care enough anymore to do customer service worth praising. This is my first pair Eccos, a highly regarded brand by many which made me take note, but I was also drawn to their attractive styling. These are a very nice looking pair of hiking boots. I expected the quality would be excellent given their favorable reviews and cost and I wasn’t disappointed. I purchased these to work in as I’m on my feet most of the day for long periods of time and I certainly appreciate a quality pair of boots. These are very well constructed and have what feels like shock reducing/absorbing, outer soles which cut down on fatigue noticeably. The high quality leather is soft and supple with tight, flawless stitching throughout. The removable, foam backed, tanned leather insoles are suspect because after wearing the boots 14 hours straight the first day my footprint is clearly permanently imprinted in them making me question how long the insoles will last. The fit was comfortable in the toe areas, but somewhat tight around my instep areas, not so much as to be unbearable, but enough to be noticeable and I’m hoping this resolves itself once they’re broken in good, but right out of the box these boots weren’t entirely comfortable to me for that reason and I was ready to remove them after a day’s work, but my foot is slightly wider than most, for those with narrow feet that probably won’t be a problem. It’s worth noting, however, that removing the leather, foam backed insoles actually made the boot fit better particularly around my insteps which I’m hoping won’t become necessary (once they break in properly) as that will probably negatively affect overall comfort.

Nice boot. A little difficult to break-in at heels.

As with every Ecco I\'ve ever tried on this one was very comfortable. However, it is harder to get on and off and lace up than the Dhaka Mid GTX, which is the one I opted for. For me, Eccos are the best shoe made. The comfort and quality cannot be beat.

I bought these boots as my everyday, go anywhere, do anything boots. I do not buy boots very often, evidence being the pair of boots these are expected to replace -- Merrells that I have owned for 8 years and worn the Vibram sole completely smooth. I was looking for a classic hiking boot style -- all leather construction, rugged soles, and waterproof. After about a month, I can say that I am very pleased. I wear these boots to work every day where I split time between an office environment and a manufacturing shop floor. The leather has been holding up nicely to the occasional bump and scrape. The Gore-Tex lining has worked perfectly, as expected. But the most impressive thing about these boots are the latex soles. (The lighter colored portion in the picture.) I was very skeptical about them, but so far so good. They make the boots much lighter than expected and provide very nice cushioning. They also have some pretty aggressive lugs that help make these boots more rugged and worthy of the outdoors. Only time will tell whether they last as long as my previous boots.
