These booties are beautiful. The quality and workmanship look great. Certainly what I would expect from a $200 ecco boot, but they are VERY narrow around the widest part of my foot. I ordered a medium width, and I have narrow feet. These make me feel like I have bunions! I can't even take a step. Very disappointing! The size seems true for the rest of the shoe.

I love this boot. Been looking for a sleek, modern boot in a dark brown and this is perfect. Love the heel height. Comfortable, can put my 3/4 length orthotic in easily as I have plantar fasciitis. I am a college professor so want to look smart but be comfortable at the same time. Our campus is on a mountain and there are lots of stairs. I can wear these comfortably all winter. So happy with this purchase. I have a medium width foot, size 7 1/2 and the 38 fits me perfectly.

I drove to ECCO brick and mortar after reading the reviews of them being for people wth narrow feet. My shoes are always medium because my feet are more towards being wide and these boots are wearable out the box. The leather is soft with a gloss that makes it a bit dressy. I’m happy I made this investment in my usual size 9.5 M. With some toe space to boot..... no pun intended!!

Such a beautiful boot but the shaft was way too narrow. I have slim calves and smaller ankles so I was surprised at how narrow these were. I considered taking them to the cobbler to see if a stretch panel could be added but decided against that because there’s also the issue of a leather wrapped heel, which would show any and all scuffs. I didn’t notice that when ordering.

These are very classy looking shoes with smooth leather. The heel is a nice height too. The overall look of this bootie is kind of like a sock-boot but the zipper is a nice touch. A little on the pricier side but I think they will be long lasting and comfortable to walk in. I can wear these with edgier outfits but also beneath work slacks so they are very versatile. The heel is a tiniest bit narrow on my foot, so if you have wider feet I would be wary.

Very odd fit. In a nutshell, they deliver on style but horribly uncomfortable.
The sizing is way off, but they are so sleek and pretty I'm going to try exchanging for a larger than normal size and see if they're better. Will try to remember to update my review then. I am a 7.5-8 narrow, usually a 38 or 39 in Euro sizes, but am about to exchange these for a 40 and see what happens.
For now: I have very narrow feet, so narrow that most shoes are too wide for me. Usually Ecco tends to offer a good fit for narrow feet in many of their styles. But these are ridiculously narrow and tight across the ball of the foot and in the ankle -- opposite of my usual problem. I tried walking around the house for a little while to see if they would soften up some, but no. Walking down stairs was incredibly awkward because they were so tight it felt like my ankles had tight hinges on them that required force to bend. Even with the thinnest socks there was a ton of pressure on the ball of my foot and my toes felt constricted.
And if I'm saying that, I imagine people with regular width or wide feet would be absolutely miserable in these shoes.

Ecco is one of my go to brands for shoes and boots. This style looked like a gorgeous classic and in that respect, it did not disappoint. The qualiy expected was there but the fit was way off. I always wear a 39 in Ecco. They fit in every other way but were extremely narrow accross the widest part of the foot, and my feet are on the narrow side. I'm so disappointed. I thought I'd found the perfect bootie. Sadly, the bootie would be too long if I tried a size larger.

Love these boots! Wore to work two days the week after they arrived and felt stylish and comfy. Heel is not too high and solid enough to walk through snowy parking lots. Red color is a nice muted burgundy and the darker toes make them to work a variety of shades in my wardrobe. Like that the ankle isn’t wide and gap-ish and fits close. Might have to get in another color too!

I wore these every day for a week, straight out of the box! For a basic little boot, they're perfection.
These fit all of my problem areas: high arches (I may add an insole, but they're just supportive enough and the impact from the heel is soft enough that I don't absolutely have to), a wide enough toe box without looking square or clownish, and they don't squeeze my ankles. If you have very narrow ankles/calves they may be a little loose.

These boots are stunning! They elevate the look of any outfit. I don't usually wear any kind heel, but I couldn't resist with these. They will require gradual breaking in, though, because they fit pretty snugly and squeeze my feet.

They look rich and classy. First try on they seemed to rub on my ankle bone. I plan on using tape or a bandied under my socks, until they are broken in.

The fit is unbelievable! They are so comfortable. I've been having a lot of trouble with the comfort of my shoes lately and these are now my go to's even when I just want to walk to the corner store. But don't get me wrong, they are super gorgeous, too. Buy these and be so happy!

They were a perfect fit, the very best I have ever had on a online purchase. I normally wear a size 8 1/2 narrow or size 9 narrow. I ordered the 8 1/2.

I have serious issues with tendonitis in my left ankle (bad enough to require a cast for 3 months) and have been spending the last year or so in Danskos, Birkenstocks, and Chacos. Those were the only shoe brands I could wear without pain. I was getting jealous of the cropped flare jeans/slightly high bootie look on instagram, and I gambled on these. I CANNOT BELIEVE these actually work for me. The placement of the arch means neither my ankles nor my toes are forced into overwork. Between that and the higher shaft, my ankle is as stable as when I wear a boring Dansko clog! I've had these for two weeks now, and I'm back on the site to buy them in another color.
By the way, the finish on the Honey is gorgeous, and despite walking like a complete klutz at all times I haven't seen a scratch or scuff. The zippers are super smooth and they have pretty good traction.

Wow, these have exceeded all expectations. They are the most comfortable boots I’ve ever worn from day one. I have picky feet and usually only wear flats so I was worried about the heel on these but they are so comfy and well balanced that I feel just as stable as in flats! The first week I had these I wore to a concert and was standing for six hours. No discomfort.

Seems a little long maybe due to having a pointy toe shape I'm not used to. Also a bit wide and gappy at the ankle, but snug in the heel so won't fall off. Looks pricier than they are, which is good. Wish there were half sizes to try smaller one.

I’m very happy with this purchase. This is my first pair of Ecco’s. They look great. I love the smooth, shiny leather which makes them dressy. The heel is a perfect height for me. Very comfortable.

This boot looks expensive and is made very well. It is narrow so I went a half size up. I am a true 5 1/2 and ordered a 35 and 36. The 35 would’ve been great but it was too narrow. I will keep the 36 which should be fine with a sock. I think these looks amazing and dressy. Perfect with suit pants.

LOVE these boots. Even though initially the zipper was very difficult to zip up due to the leather being so snug around my ankles, the leather has stretched out enough after a few days of wear, and the boots fit like a glove. I do have narrow, long feet and narrow ankles. Worth the money.

They are high quality and very sharp looking. They look good with pants slipped over them, or with cuffed pants to show them off. I have metatarsalgia and I was impressed with the support and comfort - I can wear these all day without my toes flaring up in pain, so I will be adding ECCO's to my list of brands that I can wear - so happy I can wear something stylish! I wish they didn't cost so much, but can't have everything.
