Customer Reviews ECCO Soft 8 Sneaker

Stylish shoes. However, because the sidewalls are so thick, the shoe doesn't bend very easily at the sides, and it forces the leather on top to create a deep fold that digs into the top of my foot when walking. It fit true to my size, 6.5M, but I'm sending it back. I also have tried the ECCO Soft 7, and that older style, because it doesn't have the thick sidewalls, was comfortable when walking.

I got these in the silver color which is surprisingly pretty + subtle, a very warm metallic. I confess I was worried if they'd look at all "old lady" (and truthfully I suspect in the white they might ...) -- I'm 48 -- but my husband (who is one of my toughest critics) emphatically said "no." I think the thicker white outsole makes them look more modern, fresh, not "old lady" and I like that. I remember reading an interview with the actress Tea Leoni in which she refers to her sneakers as her "marshallows." With this shoe I got her point! I do remove the insole for my orthotics, but even still these sneakers were still really comfy. The only irritation I got was from the duct tape I'd put on my heels (it must have turned under itself), not the shoe! Unbelievable. They are expensive for sneakers but I have to say thus far I don't regret spending that much -- what price comfort (and a touch of style, too)!

True to size, with the comfortable width of a sporty sneaker. Looks great in leather, though. I bought the white ones first and loved them so much I bought them in the dusty pink. No regrets! Super soft leather inside and out means you can wear these without socks if you like. (Even if the skin in your feet is basically wet tissue paper like mine.) These shoes come with very light Arch support and removeable leather insoles. These were part of the reason I purchased these: easy to remove their insoles and add my own super duper arch support insoles (Superfeet women's run comfort size 9 fits in this Ecco sneak, EU 40, if interested). This sneaker can be dressed up or dressed down, so versatile, and looks classy, minimalist, and expensive. I hope they continue making the soft sneaker 8 in new colors every year. I'll just keep buying them and adding my own insole. They are roomy enough to still be comfortable with a supportive insole and a light cushion sock. Perfection.

I love ecco shoes! I've never had any silver shoes because I find them too loud but these are a very subtle silver. They look classy and trendy. unfortunately they do run big, so I suggest you order one size smaller than your normal size. I have another pair of Ecco soft sneakers size 40 and the Ecco soft 8 I got are definitely bigger although it's the same size.

I normally wear a 9-9.5 / Euro 40. The 40 in this shoe is too long. Very comfortable, though. I will try the 39. I'm in my late 40s but like to be fashionable -- these shoes are cute and have a thick-enough sidewall as to look current.

Got this soft 8 sneaker in the blue. It's a light denim. Nice thick cushioned sole. Nice textured leather; almost feels like a suede but it's not. Perfect fit on medium feet with narrow heel. Have hat 4 surgeries on one foot and it is very, very, very hard to find a shoe that feels good. These feel good on both feet. Great with jeans. Will be buying more in different colors.

At long last?!!!! After a million tries. This is heaven. It has support, real support. When the while goes on sale I will get TWO pr.

These sneakers are extremely comfortable, right out of the box. There was no break-in for me. They are true to size and are not as narrow as some ECCOs I have tried. The leather is high quality and the Bordeaux color is very stylish. This color comes with matching laces, but I plan to get white laces to make them a bit more sporty. There is good arch support, and these sneakers allow for my orthotics for added arch support.

Prettiest , most comfortable shoes I've purchased Definitely worth it! I normally wear 8-8.5M , size 38 fits perfect! Thanks Zappos for your quality item!

Best shoe I have ever owned with class and comfort and panish. Wore them all day the first day arrived and liked them so much that I ordered them in two more colors. The perfect chic Travel shoe. Couldn't be happier.

These were very sleek but I should have listened to reviews that said they run small. I am normally a size 9 and the 40 (9-9.5) was too short and too narrow. The sneakers themselves are substantial and thick, with good arch support. I generally prefer a slightly more flexible, lightweight show for walking though.

I love my Ecco VII's but these are a bit more narrow in the toe box and also higher up the foot which tended to rub on my ankle, so I returned them. Sad, because they're REALLY cute.

Beautiful refined sneakers and I love them -- but must return them. There is a thick, somewhat rough seam between the second-from-the-bottom lacing hole and the outer side panel. It rubbed my toe painfully as soon as I laced them up and became worse with every step. (I was wearing medium-weight socks for the try-on). It's true that my toes are super-sensitive, but that seam was threatening to wear a hole in them. If the laces did not come so far down on the toes (admittedly a nice design element) that seam would be unnecessary, and the shoes would be perfect for me.

These shoes are super comfortable and the night sky color is a lovely very deep blue, I love the monochromatic style. These were true to size for me, I normally wear a US womens 10 or a EU 41, the 41 worked for me in this shoe. I may be buying another pair!

These are so worth the cost! Very comfortable and great support. I want to wear them everyday but don’t want to wear them out too soon.

This is my THIRD pr. of the soft 8 since April when I bought a pr to go to t Europe for 18 days.d I walked my feet off and it ws great. I may have been bodily tired, but my feet were great. I immediately bought a White pr on return and then just now I bought the grey. The leather is very smooth and I prefer the "nubby", but these sneakers are such a dream I will keep them. I also bought the Ecco Summer 8 tie in Silver and my grand kids thought they were "cool". They do not have the same strength as the $170.00 ones. But I love them. I also have another older pr of Ecco in red and a few sandals of Ecco. They along with Naot are the best things for the feet.

Sizing is wonderful. I bought these to replace a pair of Ecco tie shoes that were my favorite "walking" shoes, but finally, after may years, wore out. I'm hopeful that these will be a perfect replacement.

Sadly, these are not wide enough for my feet. I love Ecco's and would have kept them in a heart-beat if they were sold in wide. Ecco: please make a wide width!

I bought the bordeaux color of this sneaker to walk all over Europe and I did. No matter how tired the legs or the back, NEVER the feet. This was terrific. I immediately bought the white when I came home and a week later I just bought the summer tie, soft 8 in the silver. Do I need all these sneakers--no, but the comfort is just incredible.e The support and feel is wonderful.

Polished look and comfortable. These sneakers make my feet happy and look good enough to wear to work. They get compliments. The only issue I have is the tongue creases above my toes and is a bother, but I am hoping that will go away as the leather softens over time. I will order the Soft 8 slip on if my size is restocked

These are unbelievably comfortable! The leather lining makes wearing them without socks a dream. Classy & cool!

Love these new kicks! The laces and no eyelets adds a sophisticated polish. Super comfortable, as all Eccos.

Like this shoe but it runs large compared with my other Ecco sneakers so I ended up with a 37 instead of 38.

I was hoping to put these on and have it be love, but the fit is a bit narrow, so a bit of break in is going to have to happen. I needed a pair of black shoes for a function, and chose the Night Sky colour, which is actually midnight blue, but the uppers can pass for black. Too bad the black doesn't come in full black sole + upper.

Love the look of the shoes, I got the blue (indigo 5) color. Very pretty. The shoes are comfy at first, but the heal is very firm and goes high up on the back of your foot. My skin must be sensitive because it rubbed my heal (on the Achilles tendon) pretty bad after walking for a few hours.
