Customer Reviews ECCO Spark Sandal

Ecco Neophyte - These are my first Eccos and I love them! Only complaint is a stitch on the left heel that rubbed at first. Arch support is not strong, but cushioning is terrific and arches don't get tired. They feel light as feathers. I have the limestone and would buy another color. Can walk for hours. Zappos service was amazing.

Love these shoes, but.. I'm a long time Ecco Fan and own several Cosmo II shoes. I thought this would be nice to try another model, but I'm not quite as crazy about this shoe. The strap in the back is not cushioned like the Cosmo II and it had a stitching that dug into my heel. I ended up needing to wear a band aid with it. The shoe is long for the usual 8.5 I wear. The style is cool, however, and I love the black in sole which doesn't shoe the dirt like the Cosmo II.

Not all Eccos are the same! I am on my second pair of Ecco Cosmos II sandals and wanted a cuter pair of Eccos. These are comfortable, but not as good for long distance walking (like 2-4 miles exercise walking as opposed to walking a few hours at the mall) as the Ecco Cosmos II because the insole is pretty hard. I added an insole to give my heel better cushioning (it doesn't show) and that has helped lots but there goes another $10. But they are nice for a change and the blue goes with more colors than you might imagine. The Velcro straps mean I can adjust depending on whether I add socks or not. Wish they weren't quite so expensive or I would order another color!

Hot foot - I loved the look of these sandals and all the reviews said they were very comfortable, so I bought them. They are very comfortable as far as cushioning is concerned. However, they are more enclosed then they appear. Almost like a full sneaker with an open toe. That combined with the leather/suede interior made my foot feel like it was in an oven (hot and dry) about 15 minutes after putting them on! I did wear them to a full day at Disney, but had to take them off every time I sat down to let my feet breathe. At the end of the day my feet were not at all sore from walking around, but I could not wait to get them off and turn the AC directly on my feet! It was a high price to pay for sandals I cannot wear for long periods no matter how stylish and wonderfully funky they are.

Nice to look at - There was no arch support that I needed. I bought a commercial gel arch support that was purple and clear that matched the purple sandal. I had lots of comments and enjoyed them.

Some minor discomfort across front strap breaking shoe in, otherwise, very nice.

Cool looking comfort - The 3 adjustable straps make this shoe ultra comfortable. The leather is soft but the pieces can dig your foot a little if the adjustments are not quite right. The look is a little clunky but oh so cool and cute. This is already a favorite summer shoe of mine.

Ecco Spark - Great casual look and really comfortable, very soft footbed, flexible, and good cushioning in the heel. Fit is completely adjustable with three separate straps. Maybe just a tiny bit wider in the heel than I expected.

Rounded heel is bad for balance - These look great and were so soft and cozy to slide my foot in, but then to my discovery, the heel is rounded to the point of not being sturdy for my ankle. DO YOU HAVE ANKLE ISSUES? If so, then I wouldn’t wear these shoes. They are setting you up to sprain your ankle. Even if you don’t have ankle issues, I can’t see how anyone would feel balanced walking in these, as the ankle rocks back and forth without a stable balance. It’s a shame, because they look really nice. I just don’t get how a sandal like this would work for anyone with that rocking heel, unless you just walk with your toes!!
