This is my third pair of Ecco shoes. I always buy US size 7. The shoes look good and the color is better than the picture. But they really hurt my legs. Every time the shoe flexes, the rough leather also flexes and presses against the top of the foot near the toes. My feet haven't hurt this much since I bought a pair of Big 5 shoes for $5 in 1992. I've only worn them twice. What a waste of money!
