This is a Chinese version of ECCO "made to ECCO specifications". They have a VERY thin removable cushion which is a first for ECCO for me. Personally, I would have preferred a full leather case, but in my size 40, it's hard to come by. Worth the extra money for genuine authentic ECCO shoes compared to the Chinese version. After finding my size and style, I tried them on. but it's hard to top the ones I've been wearing daily for over 5 years.
