Ecco Men's St1 Hybrid Brogue Oxford

These are excellent shoes, like almost any Ecco shoes, and look and feel great. Just holding them you can feel they are a clear step above most shoes in terms of quality (except for the laces). The leather is soft, thick, and smooth and the soles are comfortable with a good amount of cushioning. The most important thing you have to know is about sizing. Some Ecco shoes are wide, but these are NOT wide, as many reviewers correctly mention. If you have wide feet like me, you need to order one size larger than you normally wear. Remember, though, Ecco sizes (for any given size number) are bigger than the same size in most other shoe brands. If you've never bought Ecco shoes before, make sure you look at the size chart. I have plenty of toe space in these because I ordered a size larger, but at least the shoes feel comfortable and fit. If I had ordered my normal size, they would be too tight. Remember, you can always add insoles if they feel a bit loose. The other thing to know is that most Ecco shoes are made for a normal or high arch foot. I have low arch feet, and the arches bothered me at first. I think over time the insoles are conforming to my foot shape, but it's definitely a bigger arch bump than is comfortable if you have low arches or flat feet. In that case, you might want to swap the insoles with custom ones of your choice. I got these on sale, and I have to say they were an excellent value. I only own 2 pairs of Ecco shoes, but both are excellent and well above the average shoe in terms of quality.

Great shoes. Very very comfortable. Fit is perfect and really look nice. I get alot of compliments.

I have searched for a shoe that is not only comfortable but is also slip resistant. I have worn Ecco shoes before and have gotten away from them due to other shoes beating them in comfort. I took these shoes to my restaurant today with a back up pair. My backup pair is now for special events. These shoes are amazing in comfort and non slip on tile surfaces. Didn’t even consider putting in my Johnston and Murphy’s that I paid over $180 for and cannot keep from sliding all over the kitchen floors in. My feet still feel great after a ten hour shift. I did get the magnet color which I am still intrigued with, but a little out of my comfort zone color in a shoe. They still look great and most likely will be better looking after they break in. Leather is durable and I thought I would be covering my ankles in blue bandaids, but never got a blister by the end of the day. Thank you Ecco for a magnificent shoe that finally suits my needs!!I’ve been waiting for you!! This is the first review I have left for a shoe. You really impressed me today!I will purchase other colors in this model for the comfort and slip resistance alone.

very comfortable

Pros: looks great and comfortable right out of the box.Con: sizing is really off. I’m a size 9 or 9.5 depending on the shoe. I read the reviews and saw that these shoes ran large, so I ordered 8-8.5 and it was still a little big on my feet. I’ll keep them but watch out for the sizing. You may have to go down two sizes depending on the shape of your feet!

This shoe fits great, extremely comfortable and very sturdy. I usually wear Cole Haan and Ecco dress shoes for many years. Cole Haan's are very light and comfortable, however the front of Ecco shoes are wider and put less pressure on the foot. But Ecco's are heavier shoe than CH's. This St1 hybrid is new for me. I needed a dress shoe with good support and comfortable bottom to be able to walk fast for 2 hours a day. I consider it my exercise at work. We have long distance between our buildings and I do not use my car. So far this St1 shoe has been great.

I bough two of the ecco shoes and several of the cole haan zerogrand. Let's just say I returned all the cole haan zerogrands. Ecco really has made a great quality item. It's extremely comfortable and has great leather/design quality. The zerogrands just seemed like a cheaper more flexible leather and the sole was not nearly as comfortable. I would certainly recommend ecco. Just to note the shoes come a bit stiff. Walk in them for a few days to break them in.

I haven't loved a brand of shoes like this since Reeboks and Florsheims in the 80s. Very stylish. Very comfortable. Thanks, Ecco!
