I have been buying Ecco Mens Executive slip on for over 15 years. These shoes were expensive at $250 but they were well made in Eastern Europe up until 5 or 6 years ago when they switched manufacturing to China and dropped the price to $160. The shoes from China are incredible cheap, something you would expect from Walmart. It unfortunate but I have bought my last pair of Ecco shoes since they no longer are a quality shoe manufacturer. The Executive Slip On was a great quality shoe with great style. I would be happy to pay $250 again for the same quality as a decade ago. ECCO is no longer a premium shoe brand.
