Ecco Yak Leather Shoes - Urban Flexor (For Men)

I am suprised that reviewers can get completely opposite experiences from Ecco shoes. Can the quality control be that poor? I wear a size 42 and the two pair that I have purchased recently fit perfectly. These shoes required a brief breaking in period but I think that may be because of the yak leather which is thicker than cowhide. I suspect that it will look new when the soles are worn out. If you are concerned, as I was, that the toe is a rubber bumper let me tell you that it is not. It is made of leather which has a quilted stamped appearance that contrasts nicely with the rest of the shoe. Every thing about this shoe is very high quality: the leather(inside and out), the stitching, the molded sole. The design and detailing makes this a very attractive and comfortable shoe.

The most durable line of shoes that I have found!

I've purchased three pairs of size 44 Ecco shoes. This is the first that was a disappointment. The left shoe seems a tad too narrow. I'm stretching it with a shoe tree.

I've worn a 42 with Ecco for many years. This pair was a good half size to a full size too small.
