Customer Reviews ECCO Track II Low

I have have had 3 pairs of Ecco track type shoes, but this pair did not seem up to the standard of the others. The first pair, which I still have, was the very best, and they were made in France. Alas, the Chinese versions fall below that standard. They were not as comfortable, and were a bit tight at the front.

I normally wear a 11.5 or 12 depending on the shoe. I bought these in a 46, which I was worried might be too big, based on the fact that 46 is supposed to be equal to 12 or 12.5 according to Ecco. On the contrary, they were too tight, somewhat in the tongue, and even worse in the heel. This shoe rubbed my skin raw on the outside of each of my foot near the heel. It was ugly, particularly the left foot. I had a pair of Doc Martens which were also size 46 which didn't have this problem, so I don't know if it is something about how this shoe is cut or what. I really liked how they looked, and I wanted to like them, but they caused a hell of a wound on my both of my feet, so I had to return them.

I had high expectations, but I'm ultimately disappointed with the shoe. Within a couple months, albeit of constant use, the stitching has come undone at the toe. Next time I will just save my money and buy two pairs of a cheaper shoe.

I've owned many Eccos and love them all. Unfortunately, this shoe has a narrow toe box. My toes hit the front and outsides of the toe box. I've only discovered this problem after wearing them for a day, so now I can't return them -- or wear them for long. My advice is to buy a size or two bigger to make sure your toes don't touch.

This shoe is, as many others have reported, very comfortable, made with excellent leather, well constructed and very supportive. But after a few months of only intermittent wear I noticed that the heel of the shoe seemed to keep catching on stones and slight obstructions. At first I ignored this but when I examined the sole I found that the sole is merely a very thin layer of comparatively durable material over a core of very soft foam. This foam has almost Zero durability. In just a few more weeks the sole was totally wrecked. I loved the shoe otherwise and was greatly disappointed. I happened to mention this situation to my brother who had coincidentally also owned a similar Ecco shoe with the same kind of sole. He was even more angry than I and described the very same condition on his pair. It was a very good shoe with a very fatal flaw. I would never recommend this shoe to anyone. My brother sent the shoes back to Ecco for a resole but he was totally unhappy with the repair. I simply threw mine away.

I have worn the low and mid Track II's since 1997. Over the years they have changed the materials of the sole which makes them less likely to dry out and fall to pieces, but now they wear faster. The instep feels like it is cut a little tighter than the older ones, but that could be my feet getting fat over the years. They are a tad warm due to the Gore-Tex and leather, but they still are a decent shoe. They are not what they used to be. I have always felt that Ecco should make a summer version with no Gore-Tex. The Track II loyalists would surely buy them.

I bought these several years ago as an alternative to snow boots. We don\'t get much snow around here, though we do get some ice, so only wearing these when it snows or is icy meant they were worn 5-10 times per year. I had them about 5 years (5 years when wearing them 5-10 times per year means there was little to no wear seen or expected). I had to throw them away because the outer sole started to completely disintegrate leaving little pieces of rubber everywhere. Given how often I wore them, and the price, I would have expected these to last a lot longer.

The Comfort Was Not There - When I ordered the Ecco Track II Lows, I had very high hopes about these shoes. When they arrived, they were anything, but comfortable. The sizing was true, but the insert/sole was very stiff and unyielding to my foot and the materials in the tongue of the shoe painfully dug into the top of my feet. I tried relaxing the shoestrings and walking awhile to break them in, but nothing worked. Otherwise the shoe was true to width and length, but sadly I have far cheaper shoes from discount stores that I do not consider comfortable, but that I would still rate above this shoe in comfort (even just comparing the inserts). Others have mentioned this model was recently updated for the worse, so I still have hopes for Ecco and will try another model before I give up.

Not what I thought - They fit far narrower than labeled. Also a bit short. For the price, I expected better. Rockports much easier to wear out of the box.

Expensive shoe that hurts - I wish this shoe came in a wider width. Hurts my foot, I am hoping a few days of discomfort will wided and loosen up the shoe.

Disappointed - Well I bought a pair of these a year ago thinking well they are Gortex so they should keep my feet dry. Well, they did for awhile but soon the seams spread apart on the toe and the shoe began to tear of the bottom and they began to retain water. I have exchanged them three times and still nothing has held up. Nice if you only walk from the car to the building.

4 Wheel Drive Shoe - This shoe has a good looking rugged appearance and is built for hiking and off road wear. However, on my foot the lacing caused pain on the top of the foot. The laces can cinch up so tight that the top of the arch starts to ache. I recomend the high top version Track II if you have a high arch.

Ecco Track II Low - It supports the foot very well, and has very solid construction. It is also a very attractive shoe. The problem is that irritates after walking in it for a few minutes. At first, this was just a problem with my right foot, but then I felt the irritation in both feet.

Stitching tearing out! A very comfortable shoe. My only problem with them is the stitching is tearing out at the bend line over the toes. I have had them for 1 1/2 yrs, but for $180, I would not expect that. I wear them for office work only and wear them 70% of the time. In the future I will get another pair of Ecco's, however WITHOUT the stiching over the toes!!

The Soul and Heal This shoe is a little better than my other ECCO shoes the heals and soles crumbled on my ECCO WALKER ! The track 2 made in DENMARK is the only ECCO that I would even concider buying (DENMARK)! made only !

I pulled out the removable insole to replace it with an orthotic, and the inside of the shoe (under the removable insole, normally hidden) was all disintegrated--black bits of plastic. Very strange. Returning.

Loved the look of this shoe so much that I decided to keep these even though they hurt feet some at first. Figured I just needed to break them in. Been wearing them on and off for last month or so. Still can seem to break them in. Some days are better than others but shoes are still hurting my feet bottom line. My fault for keeping them but been pretty disappointed so far....

Nice looking shoes. However, they are cut too high around the ankles for me and rub against my ankle bones. I returned them.

I had a pair of these same brand shoes for about 7 years they felt great and were my favorite pair. When I wanted to get them in black I bought this pair but I can't figure out why they don't feel the same as my old pair. These ones pinch my feet and hurt my soles. I don't remember if I had to break in my old pair as long as I've been trying to break in this one. The feel narrow and they rub my heel awkwardly.

Nicely made shoes. However, I have to agree with the reviewer who mentioned his foot slipping out of the back of the shoe. I have the same problem. Even though the shoe is snug everywhere else and tightly laced, it rides up and down at the heel with every step. This will create an injury problem in addition to an insecure feeling in the shoe. Sorry to have to return.

Design of shoe looks good; however, the padding inside the shoe is very thin and uncomfortable on the top. I am returning the shoe because the stitching came apart over the toe box within three days thus showing that the quality of the shoe is sub par. I would not recommend ordering these shoes.

Great fit, very comfortable, nice style....but a disappointment in durability. After wearing for about one week....the leather tabs holding lacing eyelets broke on both sides. Will try to see if Cobble can repair, but this is very disappointing considering the cost for these.

This is a good looking, obviously well made pair of shoes. However, they are extremely wide in the heel area--enough so that I'm afraid they'll be falling off of my feet. Otherwise, the length and width seem true to size.

The stitches on the top of the toe came undone and the shoe started to fall apart after a few months of wear. This is my second pair I owned and it is not as good of quality or comfort as the first pair. The new shoe is made with cheaper material.

I have had two pairs of this shoe replaced because the sole falls apart after time. I would suggest wearing them out fast. I do not give them hard wear or expose them to harsh chemicals etc. I have had the same thing happen to other types of Ecco shoes. If they are older models, the most they will do is give you a discount card for new ones. I have only had this happen before with one other brand of shoes with composite soles. If I buy any more from Ecco, it will begin to be like the quip about insanity.
