Customer Reviews ECCO Helsinki Slip On

I bought these shoes as a birthday gift for my son. He is very happy with the shoes. They are true to size and look good while serving his management duties at work or in his blues band for fun. They are a hit!

This is an excellent, all-around versatile dress shoe. From jeans to suits, these shoes in whichever color should serve you well. In case you are wondering about the difference between this model (Helsinki bicycle toe) versus the Berlin bicycle toe, let me offer the following advice: The Berlin is genuine leather all around, has a wider and larger fit (even in D width), more apparent/larger stitching, but does not seem to feature the multi-featured, anti-microbial insole. It has more shine to it than the Helsinki, but both feature the exact same sole.The Helsinki is a thinner shoe and snugger fit (D width, same size when compared with the Berlin). It has the multi-featured anti-microbial insole and the outer stitching is less conspicuous. Its inside lining is a synthetic absorbent material instead of leather.Having tried both shoes, my preference is the Helsinki due to its lower price, more versatile insole, thinner profile and snugger fit. Both, however, are great shoes so you really cannot go wrong either way.

I've had these shoes for a little over two months now, and have been very pleased with them thus far. I was looking for a pair that would work with both jeans and dress slacks, and these have fit the bill perfectly. They look sharp and are extremely comfortable. It's my first pair of Eccos, and already I am feeling a sense of loyalty to the brand.

This is like my 25th pair of Eccos since I started wearing them back in 2003. Recently I needed a new pair of slip-ons for business travel and these fit the bill. These shoes are also casual enough to wear with jeans as well. Like most Eccos, sizing is fairly consistent, and these are true to size. Some of the newer Eccos seems to be a bit large compared to a few years ago. I've worn these slip-ons around town for a few days and no problems, they're now ready to fly...

The shoes are very comfortable and lightweight and after a couple weeks of wear seem to be pretty durable. One toe has a little scuff on it, but I am not know to be terribly gentle on my shoes. The sizes seemed to run a little large. Normally I wear a 10 US, and ordered the equivalent size, however the size that fit was the 8.5 US or 42 in European sizing. Of course Zappos did a great job making sure I got the correct size.

I've owned several pair of Eccos, and while these are good shoes, they don't seem to be up to the same quality in materials as previous ones. They are comfortable but fit a little more snug than others of the same size, and they are more lightweight. A good, comfy shoe overall.

I purchased these shoes approximately a month ago. I've worn them quite a bit and found them extremely comfortable. They look great with slacks and are dressy enough if you need to wear a tie. Watch the sizing, mine were a bit snug but stretched nicely. I compared these shoes side by side with a pair of Cole Haans with a "comfort" sole. The Eccos win hands down. Time will tell as to how they wear. Overall, I'd say these shoes are exactly what I was looking for.
