ECCOmens Helsinki2 5001 Formal Shoe

Très confortable

These are my second pair of Eccos, the first being the Melbourne slip-ons. I usually wear an EU43 size in just about every brand, and Ecco is known for being true to size, so I was suprised to find that the Melbournes were far too tight in the toe area. I had to go up to an EU44 in those, however they never felt right to me, being too long for my feet and slipping off very easily at the heel.The toe box on these appeared somewhat wider, so I tentatively ordered an EU43. At first, the fit around the toe was far too tight (like the Melbourne), but removing the dual-fit insole insert made a huge difference. It was still tight, but they broke in after 3 days of wearing.As of now, I can safely say that these are the most comfortable office shoes I've worn so far. The sneaker-style inner lining is very noticeable, and the shoes feel great to wear even for 11+ hours non-stop. You have good shock absorption for walking, while the insole is flexible enough to mold to your heel. The toe area is still very snug, but it should be noted that those who have tried the slip-on versions have mentioned that they are slightly wider.Longetivity is yet to be determined, however they seem very sturdy. The aforementioned Melbournes have lasted 4 years with very low wear, and no damage that needs repairing, so I'm hoping these will be the same.

Lovely shoes delivered promptly

Gut verarbeiteter Schuh für den alltäglichen Gebrauch. Sehr bequem auch bei längerem tragen sowie bei kurzen bis mittellangen Wegstrecken. Wem er zu eng ist: eine Einlegesohle ist speziell aus diesem Grund herausnehmbar. Bereits mein 3. Helsinki Paar und vermutlich nicht das letzte.

La misura che serviva. Ottima fattura
