The fit receives mixed feedback, with some finding them true to size while others say they run large. Comfort and durability are also mixed aspects - while some say they feel great and are built to last, others find them stiff and note they show scratches easily.

True story: Three 50-something guys (strangers) recently going through TSA checkpoint. I look down and see the guy in front of me wearing these Eccos so I told him they look great and ask him who makes them. He says, "Ecco, and they're really comfortable." The guy in front of him (with his wife) says, "I love my Eccos. They are the best." The whole conversation takes maybe 15 seconds. No eye contact (we're looking down at the shoes). The guy in front's wife says, "Now I've seen everything! Three guys - total strangers - talking about shoes! Incredible." We commented that we've come a long way since the days of cavemen. Technology being what it is, I ordered a pair on my phone before my flight took off. Got them a couple of days later. My adult sons both said, "Those look great. Who makes them?" These Soft 7 sneakers are so comfortable that I bought a second pair that arrived yesterday. Thanks, Zappos!

I am very pleased with these shoes. Stylish, and yet possessing both supple uppers and appreciable arch support (these shoes are indeed exceptionally comfortable). But these qualities already are evident in previous postings. I am writing to instead weigh-in on "how much" too big are these shoes relative to the recommended European size as compared to a US size. My suggestion: If you already have Eccos, order exactly the same for these shoes. In reading the reviews, I inferred that this Ecco shoe was an outlier in being way too big, and thus I ordered European 41 which according to the sizing chart is equivalent to US 7-7.5. In this I made a mistake. Now having exchanged the shoes, I am appreciative in wearing European 42, "equivalent" to US 8-8.5. Normally I wear US 9, so the European 42 is precisely one size down from what is recommended on the sizing chart. All Ecco shoes are "too big," but my experience has been that at least they are consistently too big (in my case, "one size" too big).

Review for Zappos VIP Points (What's this?)

The Ecco soft seven is the perfect shoe. It provides arch support, it is soft, well constructed, durable. I love them. I own over 20 pairs of the soft 7 model shoes. When you first put them on, they are comfortable, no break in time needed, but.... once they do break in, OMG... if feels like they mold to your feet, and they will be even more comfortable, more than you can imagine. The arch support is perfect not too pronounced, more towards the neutral side, but it’s definitely there. I haven’t had these shoes long enough to see if the gravel color base stays cleaner than the white base. If you get a pair with white base, they will get dirty, and you will not, I repeat, will not ever be able to get them to their original white color, but that’s ok, it gives the shoes character. Thank you Zappos for providing the absolute best online customer service. I am an avid shopper, and let me tell you, better customer service than Zappos doesn’t exist.

Comfortable shoe, and great traction. But it is not nearly as waterproof as expected, particularly given the material. Wearing them once in the rain and my feet got wet. Also, the seams began to fray within about 3 weeks of daily use (photos). Overall, they're nice but not high quality and definitely not worth $150.

This Ecco sneaker is a great sizing hack for women who have at least a size 39 but need more width than the Ecco 39 women's models. I triend many black leather sneakers in the women's dept. and even if they were labelled "W" they WEREN'T. So, I tried the men's Ecco 8, and it's perfect. Right out of the box, no pinching. I typically wear 8.5 to 9, or 39, and in Rothy's I need 9.5 to make the width right. In Seavees, I also have to size up to 9.5 to get the width. In Birkenstock, I wear 39 Reg.
