I hope to stretch the ones that on my way home and make it a nice neutral option for work .<br /> I still check Ecco brand first for any new styles ( there is one slip on in pure silver that sits at regular price $165.00 that I wish for - sigh..). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2166285 Mon, 18 Jan 2021 19:29:36 +0000 Angie 2166285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Slim Cat</b>, those slip-on ECCOs - of which there are a few - have been a hit with many clients.

I did try a pair of their Golf shoes once and had to send back -- it was clear they were not going to be good walking shoes for me. The last was different so they were looser and also harder/ less flexible. I didn't think they would work for all day comfort on hard surfaces. Better on the golf course!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2166010 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 23:31:23 +0000 slim cat 2166010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone for extra information and personal experience !<br /> I’m still searching for the best work shoes ( no actual running- hiking shoes allowed). I did order one of the slip-on versions of Ecco 7 on sale- may try to stretch it with a professional help.<br /> It sounds like golf shoes should be worn while playing golf mostly and not suitable for my purposes ( lol to that idea ). Thank you again! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2165940 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 17:57:53 +0000 L'Abeille 2165940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No clues about golf shoes, but I can say that my black Ecco sneakers are the most comfortable, supportive, optimally fitted to my feet, and all-day wearable of any sneaker I've ever owned. And they can almost pass for oxfords, ie unadorned, non-clunky.</p> <p>And I also had to try on every shoe in the Ecco store to find them. Most were made on a completely different last for a completely different foot shape than mine.</p> <p>So yes, you need to go in-store and try them on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2165932 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 17:19:17 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2165932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If Adidas’ last works for you, try their Hoops or Cloudfoam advantage sneakers. Puma’s care of might also work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2165922 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 16:28:46 +0000 slim cat 2165922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried some other brands before - like Cole Haan, Sofft, did Clarks for quite a few years. None of those brands work for me now and most need to be tried with special insole which means going half size up or just giving up. <br />Sometimes shoes are too deep for my feet but not enough for insole to work. Most of the time it's tight for my arch ( recent case - black boots from Earth: good in length and style, not enough space for high arch ).</p> <p>@unfrumped - I have similar issue with my big toe ( it's bigger than the standard I guess ). The leather or fabrication that sits over the big toe often wears out fast ( old mesh covered sneakers needed to get patched to be used again - made them a bit less comfortable ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2165918 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 16:06:55 +0000 unfrumped 2165918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m following with interest. Many of the fashion sneakers are too “ flat” in tiebox( even if wide enough), so when done in leather, which is desirable for a more polished look, they rub on my toe, but sizing up can make them too oversized elsewhere.<br /> The widespread use of lightweight mesh for sneakers helps overcome foot issues , but I would like some outfit alternatives this summer.<br /> So I’m looking for that elusive blend in a tie- shoe, sneaker or oxford, that I would really wear all day and not rush to change into other shoes. </p> <p>A pretty tough bar is, maybe unattainable, would I pack these as one of only 2 pairs for a trip where I might leave the motel in a.m. and not return until evening? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2165911 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 15:54:16 +0000 Angie 2165911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know the Ecco golf shoe because I tried it in white! It was far too wide for my very low volume feet, but comfortable. Nice thick soles. Sounds like it could work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2165894 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 14:13:02 +0000 Anonymous 2165894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>slim cat - I'll PM you later today .

Why not take a look at something like Cole Haan or any of the makers that are cooperating with athletic shoe makers on models that have the “guts” of real gym shoes but uppers/looks of dressier shoes? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2165834 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 07:54:05 +0000 slim cat 2165834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you @Kate - I haven't tried Ecco Soft 7 Street sneaker yet. The Ecco 7 in yellow color worked really nice in the beginning for me but wearing it for work ( 7-8 hours on my feet ) made my right foot eventually too sensitive to a pressure of the top part ( padded tongue ).<br />I stopped wearing it for a while but sensitivity didn't go away. Sadly I returned that pair.<br />The Ecco 7 woven style is the best fit so far.<br />Using the golf shoes as a walking option maybe not the best idea - I need to visit the Ecco store and try some other options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2165829 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 07:24:10 +0000 Kate 2165829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have two pairs of the Ecco Soft 7 Street sneaker, which I love. They fit my narrow foot much better than the regular Soft 7. Wore my first pair straight out of the gift box for a 3-mile walk Christmas evening.

I'm wondering if they are suitable for regular wear like the running shoes could be used for hiking or city walking ( that's my target I guess ). Thank you in advance!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2165782 Sat, 16 Jan 2021 00:24:54 +0000 slim cat 2165782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder if golf shoes have enough padding/support, if sole thickness&nbsp;<br />( or special features ) betray them as strictly sporty shoes. I'm not sure how golf shoes feel when you have a regular walk in the city ( not on&nbsp;<br />grass ).<br />The other question will be if golf shoes are a bit heavy by design or they come in different styles ( some easier for regular walks let's say ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2165749 Fri, 15 Jan 2021 21:48:43 +0000 always trying 2165749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find some fashion sneakers are just that.&nbsp; Some are not for lots of all day walking.&nbsp; What about walking shoes. some look just like fashion sneakers, but may be comfortable.&nbsp; I always thought golf shoes had nobbier soles.&nbsp; Aren't they made for non slip on wet grass , and all day wearing.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2165747 Fri, 15 Jan 2021 21:25:05 +0000 Carla 2165747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My husband LOVES his Ecco golf shoes, and says they are the most comfortable ones he has ever owned! &nbsp;He has 3 pair in rotation.

I don't find them all that comfortable for any distance. I racked up THOUSANDS of steps a day in those sandals, so maybe try the Sofft sneakers would be worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ecco-fashion-sneakers-versus-ecco-golf-shoes#post-2165739 Fri, 15 Jan 2021 18:47:43 +0000 slim cat 2165739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's the one I've been looking at - almost fashion sneaker ( could fool my manager ).

The ECCO soft 7 sneakers didn't work for me at the end but I do like that brand and their style/comfort level. I've never considered golf shoes and know nothing about their special features. If there is anyone who had any experience with ECCO golf shoes or any golf shoes - I'd interested to know more.<br />Going with advice "leave no stone unturned" - advice, information, links are welcome.&nbsp;<br />My feet have high arch, high instep, slim heel, 381/2 - 39 ( or 8-81/2 ). </p>
