Customer Reviews ECCO Turn GTX Boot

I loved these boots immediately. They looked great and felt amazing, and the Gore-Tex was perfect for the rainy Portland season. Unfortunately, I've only had these boots a year and I've worn them out. I'm a college professor, so I'm on my feet a couple hours a day -- certainly not extreme conditions. I hardly wore them over the summer, but the soles are cracking, and every time it rains now, water comes in the shoe and soaks my heel. Not a nice feeling. For nine months of moderate wear, the price seems a bit steep.

In a word: disappointed. I found these boots to be narrower, pointier, and lower quality than I expected. In my opinion, they almost look like women's shoes in person. The leather is stiff and cheap looking compared to other Ecco boots than I have owned. I sincerely hope this isn't a sign of things to come for Ecco. Made overseas! It's a good thing that Zappos has a solid return policy.

These are the loudest shoes I’ve ever owned! If you intend to walk on any epoxy floors, polished tile or even unpolished tile, do NOT buy these. The soles squeak so loud with each step it’s almost unreal. I’m stunned that in all the reviews no one has pointed this out. This was my first Zappos purchase and it’s a shame I can’t send them back as I paid a lot for them. But I’ve worn them for a day so can’t return. I’m not really confident that reviews here are the real thing.
