Customer Reviews ECCO Helsinki 2.0 Apron Toe Slip-On

My Ecco Seattle slip on's have been in service since October 2014. I also have a pair of Ecco Berlins that I bought in around 2009 that I still wear. I wear these shoes to work every day. The Seattle Slip Ons have been re-heeled a few years ago. I was looking for a new pair, but the Seattle is no longer carried. I just got these Helsinki slip on's, and my initial examination reveals that they are nearly identical in style and construction to the Seattle. My Seattle's were a size 44, and I ordered these Helsinki's in a size 44. My impression on the fit is that the Helsinki is a little more snug than the Seattle and Berlin. I noticed that the insert said "Dual Fit Insoles." I pulled out the insole and below it was another insole. I removed the lower insole and the fit seemed just like my well worn Seattle shoe. I decided to put the lower insole back in and try it out like that for awhile. I'm wearing the shoes now, and they feel comfortable. FWIW, my shoes were made in Portugal. I've heard discussion about some of the Ecco manufacturing being done in China, and people were unhappy with the quality. I've got nothing against China (in fact my Ecco Seattle's pictured here have walked the Great Wall twice), but I thought that I would let you all know the country of origin on these as it seems to make a difference for many users. I will report back if I have any issues with these. If this review helped you out, please take a second to hit the helpful button for me so that this review will continue to be seen. Thanks!

I have been wearing ECCO shoes for 30 years and what I received could not have been an ECCO shoe, even though it was on the label. It was stamped a 43 which in prior years was a spot on automatic fit for me. Now it is a range from 9.0-9.5 and the shoe it too tight. It is the first ECCO I have ever had where my heal comes out of the shoe at every step. I am very disappointed if this is truly an ECCO shoe. The sole? It looked like one piece plastic and feels like one piece plastic. I do not recommend this shoe.

Size and fit great but after only a month they look terrible

I have been looking for a shoe with some style and comfort. This shoe is IT! Having a wide foot, I was thrilled I could pull out the extra insert for the perfect fit!

love the squared off toe. runs a tick larger. size down half size

Great comfort in well made reasonably priced mens dress loafers!

I returned the shoes because the color was not as shown at your picture/website. The picture shows a "cognac" color, and the shoes that you sent were like a orange/brown color.....not nice!, not elegant like the color you show at your website.

I was very happy with my shoes until the soles started to crumble. I contacted Ecco and they say their warranty only covers their products for 1 year. So apparently after years of being a happy Ecco wearing customer, I am told that Ecco no longer stands behind their shoes after 1 year. A pair of dress shoes should not fall apart after a few years of light wear. So disappointing!

Show was large and loose. Quality of the material has gone down and would not break in. Shoe pinched in multiple spots. Terrible shoe. My old pair is 4 years old and far better even partially worn out. Need to find a different brand it appears

Fit and sizing are perfect. I usually wear a 13 and these were spot on. And I've been beating these shoes down mercilessly. I drive city bus where I'm at and these shoes have been taking a real hammering. But I just apply some shoe polish and buff them every now and again. And they're holding up at a championship level. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Very satisfied. Definitely got my money's woof on this one. ECCO for the win. This is one shoe where you certainly get every bit of shoe that you pay for.

Perfect work shoe

My 16 year old grandson is proud of his ECCO Helsinki 2.0 slip-ons. He has wide feet and the boxy toe of the Helsinki 2.0 fits him perfectly. He needed nice, dressy black shoes for symphony performances, and these are perfect for him.

Amazing shoes I can't wait to wear them at work

I’m a bus driver and I’ve kicked the hell out of these shoes for a good couple months now. They’re super comfortable. I really like how Ecco doesn’t have all these little gimmicks intended to make your shoe comfortable and yet they turn out to be torture. Nope. Not with these Ecco’s. They’re on my feet 16 hour days and they’re still looking great. Take a lickin’ and keep on tickin.’ A little polish and a shine and they’re still looking nice and fresh. No laces. Really convenient. Love the slip on. Worth every penny. Solid. Well-constructed shoes. Withstanding a lot of use and abuse. Nice and light. And my feet feel perfectly fine after a long day tearing it up on the public transit system. No aches and pains. Not sore.

I was a bit freaked out when I first tried the shoes on and they were way too tight. I remembered these come with an insole already inserted. Once I pulled that out they fit perfectly.

I have been wearing ECCO Apron Toe Slip-Ons (Helsinki, Seattle, etc.) since 2016 and really wear these shoes to the ground. As a 6'3'' guy with high arches and a somewhat wide foot, these are comfortable, fairly durable and are great for the business professional who needs to walk a good bit.

I bought two different pairs of shoes these, and the Johnston & Murphy XC Flex Raleigh Chukka. I thought he might like one and return the other. He likes them both! He needs something that looks decent with a suit, but is also comfortable enough to be on his feet and walking many miles in them. So happy both fit the bill!

Love these shoes now have them in multiple colors

like the shoes, style was good for me. Just too big!

Good quality and properly sized. This is replacing an existing pair of the same shoe that my husband likes.

They are very nice and feel good on my feet.

This is my second pair and they fit perfectly. I slipped them on and there was no break in just comfort from the beginning.

Very good fit and extremely comfortable. Soft and flexible.

Over several years have ordered this style on multiple occasions. They never fail to deliver excellent fit and looks.

Great shoes for work
