Customer Reviews ECCO Soft 7 Sneaker

I really like the style of these sneakers but they pressed uncomfortably on the joints just below my big toes. There something in the design around the lace holes in that area that was unforgiving. Had to return.

I ordered the dark shadow color but returned them. The photo makes them look like they're black all over but the upper is actually a shimmery grey, like a seal coat. It's cool, but I needed black. I got the goretex version instead, it's a little confusing that they're listed separately. https://www.zappos.com/p/ecco-soft-7-gore-tex-tie-black-cow-leather/product/9094176/color/112282

I ordered several pairs of Ecco Soft sneakers. All versions were too wide in the heel. I wanted a wide toe box, which I got, but the shoes wouldn't stay on my heels. Too bad, as they were very cute and, otherwise, comfortable.

The reviews on these made it seem like they were the most comfortable shoes for travel. I found the back heel to be a little stiff and they rub as well in toe-bed. They are a little heavy as well. I bought an uggs white pair of slip-on tennis shoes and ended up wearing those everyday on my vacation in lieu of these ones. I am still keeping them but they do have some breaking-in-time...

These are going back. I thought they were super cute and thought they would be a little more stylish than running shoes for a trip to DC and NYC. I wore them for a couple of hours one day and couldn't handle them. They feel REALLY TIGHT, especially in the toe box, and I have narrow feet! I re-laced them to loosen them up and that didn't help, either. I even bought a bigger size and those just gaped in the heel area... So...going back. They were super cute but I stuck with my Saucony running shoes for the trip!

I have a narrow foot and heel and these shoes fit me well EXCEPT for the fact that they felt a bit too short and the toe box was too shallow. I have worn Ecco shoes in the past and they have always fit me well but not these. Too bad because I really like the way they look!

The fit was a little snug across my toes. there was no sense keeping these when other Ecco shoes offer a bit more comfort.

Soft leather. Very nice styling. I just needed a bit smaller size.

This shoe was beautiful, but the fit didn't work with my high arches. Too bad! I really would have loved to have kept them.

This shoe was really attractive, but the toe bed was a little too narrow, and the heel was too wide. Ended up buying Asics.

Nice looking casual sneaker, but narrow across the toes. I'm a standard medium is just about every shoe, but this one rubbed my toes.

The shoe is very attractive but no arch support at all. They feel very flat footed and my feet hurt within a few minutes of wearing.

I wear a size 11 or 42 in nearly all brands and shoes but this Ecco shoe runs extremely, extremely small, at least in the larger sizes. A 42 felt like a size 10 so I ordered a 43 which is supposed to be equivalent to a size 12 or 12.5. The 43 was barely long enough for my size 11 foot. There is not a lot of room in the toe box so if you actually plan to walk in these shoes I would order at least a size larger than what is recommended. I don’t know whether they are true to size in the smaller sizes. I was hoping that they would be a good travel shoe but I’m not sure the toe box is roomy enough for all day walking comfort. Considering that this brand runs so small one would hope think that they’d offer more styles in the larger sizes but they don’t. Only a few styles are available. Just a note about the navy color—my shoes arrived with traces of blue dye on the white shoelaces. I’m annoyed at that and may replace the shoelaces at some point.

I was optimistic about this shoe from every aspect, but the seam near the toe hits right over the ball of my foot and it was uncomfortable on my growing bunion. Sigh.

These are very cute and stylish. That being said, they come with a removable foam insole that I had to take out in order for them to be the correct width. The insole made them much too tight for me to wear. Also there is an annoying rise in the foot bed that is not placed in a comfortable spot and I have no idea why it is even there. On my foot, which I consider an averagely proportioned foot, it touches near the top of the ball of the foot just beneath where the toes end. It is not entirely comfortable having that extra padding there and I can't remove it as it is underneath the glued foot bed. If that padding was not there these would be the most comfortable sneaker.

These run SMALL. I ordered these in a size 41 (US 10) and they felt a whole size smaller. Had to send them back. I will be re ordering in a size 42.

Got the light blue..,soft on outside and cushiony on inside...,but ran too long and too narrow :(

Too Small. I'm a size 10, and for some reason this style tends to run small. I ordered a 41, however am returning it for a size 42. I would suggest sizing up on this style.

Not as comfortable as I had hoped. There is a seam that hit right at the top of the toes...it is stiff leather and very uncomfortable in that spot. Also, color is more brown and less orange than the photo. Going back!!

I wanted to love these shoes as the style was exactly what I was looking for, but when I tried them on, I was very disappointed. There is an extra removable insole which I suppose helps with sizing (removing the extra insole increases it by a 1/2 size), however the support decreases. I have walked around my house hoping they will feel comfortable and even as I sit with them on, they are still very uncomfortable. They feel too tight all around (They are loosely tied and they are a size up from my usual). There is a scratchy seam on the upper part of the shoe which makes them unbearable without socks (as some reviewers said they prefer them without socks). I had high hopes for these, given the price, but I will be returning them.

Beautifully made shoes but unfortunately the White color is actually Grey. So disappointed as they are stylistically just the perfect shoe.

I have these same shoes in suede and they are great - the leather version I ordered here were so stiff and squeaky that I returned them instantly. The leather was not remotely supple and it would take a long time to wear them in. A shoe should not be this noisy - they needed to use softer leather - simply not up to Ecco standards IMO.

I fell in love with these shoes when I saw them here, and placed my order. I received them and unfortunately they run small and narrow, and there is a seam in the toe box that rubs in my small toe. This is the first pair of Eccos that don’t fit! I ordered my regular size and width but for some reason these are a no no and sadly, will have to return.

Loved the way they looked. They just had an uncomfortable feel under my foot pad.

Was so hopeful based on reviews. The inside seam above the toes rubbed on my bare foot. Don't want to wear socks. Otherwise comfortable, but sending back. 9.5 but ordered 10 which fit.
