Customer Reviews ECCO Helsinki Bicycle Toe Tie

These shoes are great! They are very comfortable and look very nice for business wear. Eccos run very big. Had to get a full size smaller and could have probably went even smaller. Sorry definitely order smaller so you don't have to exchange.

As always. Eccos are very comfortable. Still not crazy about the bicycle toe style but a great shoe if you like that style.

This shoe is very comfortable and looks great. I wear them walking to my office and they are not only comfortable on the 2 mile or so walk, but look sharp too.

Great durable shoe with excellent support, and very stylish. You can't go wrong with Ecco shoes.

A good sturdy shoe, above average overall in comfort.

Fairly comfortable, good fit (8 1/2 D) . Don't look that great after a few wearings - wrinkly on top.

I was not prepared for the length of the shoes. I understand that many shoes have the long, skinny style these days, but for people with big feet, it just makes already large feet look even bigger. I felt like I was wearing clown shoes. The color was perfect, and the fit was perfect; they were simply cartoonishly long.

Very comfortable and stylish but not too dressy.

Very lightweight and extra comfortable. Not as dressy as the Windsor Tie and the leather is a step down. Very nice for the price. Cannot beat the comfort.

Fast, fair, easy to do business with and provide all with friendly, professional people who effort to get it right. That spells value to our family. Thank you for how you deliver on your promises.

These shoes have a great fit. The back is a little tough and rubbed my achilles tendon raw on both feet but that's working itself out. My main concern with these types of shoes is always width but these are perfect. I recently had to walk 4 miles in the snow with them on and they didn't stain or ruin. They also didn't hurt my feet afterwards! I would have preferred the plain toe but that apparently doesn't exist anymore. Also, be aware that the recycled rubber sole will squeak on certain floor types (linoleum, etc) which can be annoying.

So far so good. I've had the shoes for about two months and I have been really satisfied. Beside looking great they are pretty darn comfortable for a work shoe.

I was prepared to really like this shoe. Its light weight was noticeable in taking it from the box. However I wear thin socks with dress shoes and the shoe was sloppy in width for my feet. It also was a little less stylish than I had expected, but would have been suitable for everyday office wear. It only comes in one width--"M"--so I would not recommend this shoe to anyone with medium or narrower feet.

Nice shoe. Break-in period was a bit longer than I would have expected, but once broken in, good fit and comfortable. Very light. Can wear all day comfortably.

Nice shoe but heel cup doesn't quite fit my heel...too loose. Not bad enough to send back but not really comfortable.

Too crowded in the toe area. Big toe is tilted sideways.

A very comfortable shoe as expected for ECCO's. I have several other pairs an they are sized very consistently and the comfort is great. Unfortunately, the first pair of these I received one shoe appeared discolored out of the box so they were returned. The second pair arrived and looked and felt great initially. These would be good for business casual, but I don't think they would be appropriate for anything more dressy. After I put them on and headed to work, I noticed very quickly that the leather quickly discolored at main break points-- on top of the upper where your toes flex and along side by the ball of your foot or on the outside. The discoloration that appeared was much lighter/whiter and quite obvious giving the shoe a distressed leather look which was disappointing. It seems that the dye is quite weak so when the shoe bends, it leaves a light zone in the area of flex. The overall finish is much duller than what appears in the picture. I was already at work when I noticed and opted to see if a shine would restore the look. It helped, but the two day old shoe looks like it has seen much more wear. I've decided to stick it out with this pair since they are so comfortable and try to keep up on polishing to maintain a more consistent look. Disappointed with an otherwise comfortable shoe.

Shoe was to size but had a terrible hotspot on the right show at the base of the big toe. Excruciating pain but left shoe was fine. Length and width were not a problem. Hopefully it will get better with pain.

just didn't fit well, not comfortable

Normally a 9.5 and ordered a 43 (9-9.5) which was about half size too big. Have to return. I have worn Ecco for many years and love the comfort but finding the right size is difficult.

These shoes are the best for my husbands foot. I am unhappy with the condition they arrived in. They came scuffed up on the toe and side, but since my husband has to have them now for work, wedding and funeral, I cannot spare the time to ship them back and have a replacement pair sent to me. This is why the overall rating is a 3, everything else is a 5.

This item is not a 13.5 as advertised. The shoe fit more like a 12.5. If you are really looking for a 13.5, order a 48.

I purchased these shoes about 1 1/2 years ago. They have been super compfortable and the leather has stood up real well. I was very pleased with these shoes until I made a startling discovery. While I was treating the leather, I noticed there were large cracks in soles of both shoes. The cracks are located where the balls of my feet sit and they almost stretch from one side of the shoe to the other. I contacted Ecco and they are no longer covered under warranty. They did say that they would inspect the shoes and give up to a 75% discount on a new pair. While this is a nice gesture, I am still disappointed in the quality. I guess I had a higher expectations.
