For a long time I preferred cycling shoes, but I thought I'd try an apron. I love the look of these shoes. For those who hate spending that kind of money on a pair of shoes, it's worth it. I firmly believe that with some products you get what you pay for and shoes are one of those products. The skin is very smooth and the fit is as perfect as it gets. The support is perfect and I have terrible flat feet, that says a lot. I felt very comfortable in them all day long from day one. They look great with khakis and also look great with dress pants. This is my first pair of Ecco shoes and I have to say I'm impressed with the look and quality. I could be a new regular customer.
