ECCO

Helsinki 2.0 Apron Toe Slip-On

Men's

My Ecco Seattle slip on's have been in service since October 2014. I also have a pair of Ecco Berlins that I bought in around 2009 that I still wear. I wear these shoes to work every day. The Seattle Slip Ons have been re-heeled a few years ago. I was looking for a new pair, but the Seattle is no longer carried. I just got these Helsinki slip on's, and my initial examination reveals that they are nearly identical in style and construction to the Seattle. My Seattle's were a size 44, and I ordered these Helsinki's in a size 44. My impression on the fit is that the Helsinki is a little more snug than the Seattle and Berlin. I noticed that the insert said "Dual Fit Insoles." I pulled out the insole and below it was another insole. I removed the lower insole and the fit seemed just like my well worn Seattle shoe. I decided to put the lower insole back in and try it out like that for awhile. I'm wearing the shoes now, and they feel comfortable. FWIW, my shoes were made in Portugal. I've heard discussion about some of the Ecco manufacturing being done in China, and people were unhappy with the quality. I've got nothing against China (in fact my Ecco Seattle's pictured here have walked the Great Wall twice), but I thought that I would let you all know the country of origin on these as it seems to make a difference for many users. I will report back if I have any issues with these. If this review helped you out, please take a second to hit the helpful button for me so that this review will continue to be seen. Thanks!

I have been wearing ECCO shoes for 30 years and what I received could not have been an ECCO shoe, even though it was on the label. It was stamped a 43 which in prior years was a spot on automatic fit for me. Now it is a range from 9.0-9.5 and the shoe it too tight. It is the first ECCO I have ever had where my heal comes out of the shoe at every step. I am very disappointed if this is truly an ECCO shoe. The sole? It looked like one piece plastic and feels like one piece plastic. I do not recommend this shoe.

Size and fit great but after only a month they look terrible

I have been looking for a shoe with some style and comfort. This shoe is IT! Having a wide foot, I was thrilled I could pull out the extra insert for the perfect fit!
