Soft 8 Sneaker

I selected these over the Soft 7 as I liked the fact that there was no logo, a very clean and classic look. I have two complaints that truly affect my enjoynment of these shoes. First of all the laces, extremely poor quality and frayed after only about a half dozen wearings. NO replacement laces sold at Nordstrom or even Ecco stores. Contacted Ecco customer service and they sent me a replacement set that was short by 10 centimeters. The bigger issue for me is that the white sole base smudges immediately and is next to impossible to clean. I purchased the Ecco cleaning kit which was useless. Tried Magic Eraser and all sorts of cleaners. None have worked. Nice (& expensive) shoes that wear well, but look trashy. Not a great investment for $170.

These are very different from the Soft7. The last feels more symmetrical, shifting away from a more male centric last, and it feels longer than the same size Soft7. I tried one size down and it was too small, so I'm not sure what Ecco did with this shoe. The quality felt much better, especially in the arch and sole, unfortunately, this years Soft series is unusable for me. Grab those Soft7's while you can!

This is the most comfortable shoe I own. I originally ordered it in just black, but quickly decided that I needed it in every color they offer. I can dress it up or wear it casual.

Not the Final Four or The Masters....you can always attend those! Your pretty good looking for your age (a little worn out) and you're spending the day with the most beautiful woman on earth touring her college campus & city. That's right she's your only daughter so you better look sharp! Start with your feet. Sporty, classy, durable and comfortable that's what you get in the ECCO Soft 8 Sneaker. Add jeans, a shirt and that Top Shop jacket she bought you for Father's Day. Yes still like new because you've been saving it. She's going to show you off to about 100 friends ....don't even try to keep all the names straight. :- )

I really like these shoes -- so much that I bought 2 different colors. The shoes themselves are great -- good fit, mostly comfortable, and just stylish enough. But why outfit them with trashy laces? They're all breaking after about a month of wear. To add insult to injury, Ecco doesn't sell replacements -- and neither does Nordstrom. I thought about returning the shoes, but ended up ordering laces online. Somebody made a bad cost-cutting move.

Very Very comfortable - I bought another ECCO boot with the zipper.

These are not only beautiful but also extremely comfortable. One comment from a friend “I love them and they don’t scream ‘sneakers’... so you can get away with them as business casual possibly. I usually take a wide, but these fit me great, so I would say they run a little fuller in the width, otherwise true to size.

Traveling to Europe I wanted shoes that are both functional and attractive, these shoes are both. I highly recommend them. I like the flat black appearance. After about six 3 mile walks I find they provide the support I need. I wear a 46 and wondered if the 46 in these shoes would fit and they do. The Nubuck leather wipes off easily.

Purchased these for my boyfriend and he absolutely loves them. He is all about comfort and these so the job!

I got it for my hubby and he loves it. He and I both satisfied with price and good customer service.

Very comfortable. Go nicely with jeans and shorts. This is a size larger than normal. Ordered a size 39 in lieu of 40 and fits perfect. I have a soft 8 loafer and it is also one size larger than normal.

I have somewhat flat feet so finding a comfortable shoe is sometimes challenging. This shoe is one of the most comfortable I've owned. I can walk all day in these. I also appreciate the simple, relaxed style. The laces don't wear well and eventually break at the top eyelets. I have this shoe in tan and grey. The sale price is very competitive. NOTE: I normally wear a 9.5 in all shoes. In these I wear an 8 (42 European).
