Ecco shoes are garbage!! I bought four pair about 6 years ago. I didn't wear them often. I kept them in the original boxes on my closet shelf. The shoes a NO GOOD ANYMORE. The soles became gummy and fall apart when I wear them. I had to throw four pairs of shoes out and they were like new. I was so embarrassing to go out with the shoes on only to have the soles stick to everything and fall apart at important events. Ecco only has a one year warranty. DO NOT BUY ECCO SHOES UNLESS YOU PLAN ON WEARING THEM ALL THE TIME, AND WEARING THEM OUT IN A YEAR OR TWO. THE SOLES BECOME GUMMY AND DISINTEGRATE IN A COUPLE OF YEARS. I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN WITH ANY OTHER SHOE.
