ECCO Women's Soft 7 Zip Bootie Sneaker - Comfortable Ankle Boots for Walking, Work & Casual Wear | Water-Resistant & Lightweight for All-Day Comfort

I am normally a size 9-9.5 in US women’s shoes but I got the 9-9.5 and the 10-10.5 just to try on and see if I wanted more wiggle room.The good: so so comfortable and I love this brand and that they are sustainable. It’s interesting that the bottoms of the shoes have almost like a silicone or rubbery bottom? Don’t know how to explain it but it feels like a good grip and would be very easy to clean. Love the clean minimal look of the design and, again, they are very comfortable.The bad: I was disappointed that the 9 one didn’t fit and the 10 one was snug-ish. Not uncomfortably so, just surprisingly. And the color was not what I expected, a little more brown than a brown black that expected from the pictures.All in all, I am returning both pairs of these and will be purchasing another pair in a different color and definitely in the 10-10.5 size (if not trying out the 11-11.5 ?).Admittedly, I have an embarrassing number of Ecco Soft 7 shoes - but they are truly the only shoe that I can wear all day and not have my feet screaming. From the moment I put them on my feet are happy, and I am safer because the shoes are quite sturdy. I not only suffer from flat feet and bunions but I also have pretty severe neuropathy. Before all this occurred I wore a narrow shoe. While the toe box on these shoes is roomy I think the heel may run a bit narrow as I have no problem with it slipping on me. I wore a pair of these shoes on a two week sightseeing vacation last summer and they performed brilliantly. While shoes are always a bit tricky to order on line, at least for me, Ecco Soft 7’s are a sure bet!I had bought a pair...on Amazon that were light blue. LOVED THEM so I bought this pale pink pair...I couldn't figure out why they weren't quite as comfortable. Until about 2weeks ago....I just realized the real "leather off white leather type ECCO inserts" that were in my light blue pair....are NOT in my pink pair. Total bummer. Tried ordering the inserts from amazon, but they don't have my size....even bigger bummer.ECCO fits my foot great. Gorgeous leathers. Most extremely soft. I have a low instep and narrow foot, but their removeable liner makes the interior smaller and narrower so the round toe styles fit my foot well. Sole is well enough padded with the extra padding. It's too thin and not padded enough when tried without. Arch support is just okay, so I'm not sure I could walk all day. UNFORTUNATELY, 2 problems with this style. 1) Though a standard ECCO 37, a 37 in this style is too short (both in store and via Amazon). 38 is sloppy big.2) And why I returned them, they feel like I'm wearing a leather sock sewn to a sole. The top portion, everything above the sole is so soft, so devoid of support, you can totally fold it over. NO support. Gorgeous bedroom slippers. I know some people like that. But if you have arch problems, Morton's, heel, knee or hip/back problems, this isn't the style for you.So daft and comfy. Also resists stain and water.I've been wearing these shoes pretty much every day since receiving them. They are very comfortable for running errands that last a couple of hours. I can't comment on wearing them all day for work. Do not go by the size chart on Amazon. Go to the ECCO website and use the one there. I did that on the recommendation of a previous reviewer, and I'm so glad I did. Measure your feet! I normally wear a size 5 US and I ordered the European size 35. Fits perfectly.I have worn these shoes in black nearly every day for over a year. In the garden, at the beach, in the forest, at the river, wipe them dry and they are ready to go again. At my age I’ve learned if you love something, stock up. I just received my second pair and have another waiting for when I might need them. Did I say I love this shoe?My feet are wide at the front with narrow heels. My bunions have enough room and the super soft leather is very comfy. Wouldn't walk long distances in it as it doesn't quite fit my narrow heels but shoe stays on. Would still buy again, and will be trying out more Ecco Soft 7sWas second guessing with ordering colour and it was a nice surprise. Overall good fit, nice colour. Would buy againDid decide to purchase black in this style and Chelsea boots. Great now if the hold up.Love these! I have the low top version (also in metallic fig) and just love them and these are also terrific. Comfortable straight out of the box, good stability and support. Easily one of my favourite pairs of shoes.This was my second attempt at ordering Ecco online, and unfortunately it also had to go back as they were a bit snug and quite uncomfortable.I love Ecco Shoes. They never have to be broken in. You can wear them straight out of the box, worries
