What a perfect colour for you, too! Love them.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am on my second pair of the chalk white ones, which are perfect for my silvery hair, of course. I also have to double insoles with my Eccos, and use Superfeet (different versions in different sneakers) to make up for the extra width. But once I do that, they work well for me. Such a fantastic brand. My silver Ecco 8s are on their 3rd year and looking a bit &nbsp;worse for wear yet I swear I get compliments on them every time I put them on.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-tale-of-my-ecco-sneaks/page/2#post-2017163 Mon, 01 Apr 2019 13:53:06 +0000 Angie 2017163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lacing shoes in a particular way to manipulate the length is a great idea, <b>Janet.&nbsp;</b></p> <b><br /> </b> <p><b>Rebekahphoto, </b>FUN incorporating your Danish roots into your style, and I've been wearing jackets instead of coats.

I have a love+ hate with laces!&nbsp; I have a high instep, but generally average foot. I love a pointy toe but my toes are often squished! I like the simplicity of a sleek slip on or zipper, but many times they are just too tight on the instep. </p> <p>so laces tend to win out on sneakers, but I double tie them as they always seem to come undone....which reminds me of this for Angie:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epj84QVw2rc">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Epj84QVw2rc</a></p> <p>Angie our weather has been incredible!

Drives me nuts to see them replaced by zippers, and zippers added to lace-up shoes (my red boots included) just seems pointless to me. I sometimes find the stock laces too short; when my son ties his shoes snugly, the fabric around the grommets on other side touch. </p> <p>Suntiger, I think people’s feet change in different ways as we age. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-tale-of-my-ecco-sneaks/page/2#post-2016570 Fri, 29 Mar 2019 22:26:18 +0000 Windchime 2016570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s fun to read your excitement for these shoes! Glad a way was discovered to make them work for you.

I love my Eccos and am wearing my silver 8s right now. Only I have the opposite issue--with socks they are a bit too snug. So i've loosed up the laces but the stock laces are a bit too short--just need to order up some longer ones.</p> <p>I have several pairs of eccos &amp; love the support. Even the Mr has a few pairs and they are his most comfortable. I also have the white 3 strap ones &amp; love the chunky vibe but they are too wide--so maybe ill try that trick with them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-tale-of-my-ecco-sneaks/page/2#post-2016558 Fri, 29 Mar 2019 21:29:32 +0000 Diana 2016558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I didn’t know you were moving! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-tale-of-my-ecco-sneaks/page/2#post-2016526 Fri, 29 Mar 2019 19:40:28 +0000 Anonymous 2016526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*carries off ice cream*<br /> Looks like a great solution- but our feet get Narrower as we age?! :0<br /> The shoe making powers that be need to give us more choices then! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-tale-of-my-ecco-sneaks/page/2#post-2016521 Fri, 29 Mar 2019 19:12:24 +0000 Nebraskim 2016521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I super wanted Ecco sneakers to work for me, but they are a bit too low volume for me -- they squished the tops of my little toes, although I don't really have high-volume feet.

I have those sneakers in the black quilted version and they are indeed super comfortable for all day wearing. I recently bought these grey Born ones that are similar, and also have a removable insole so you could put another one beneath it. (Love the little zipper detail) </p> <p>I don’t need an insole for either pair, but I do in lots of others shoes, for more cushioning. It’s such a simple solution but one I bet few of us without have come up with, thanks for sharing. I have feet similar to yours but not quite as narrow, so I pay attention to your footwear choices. </p> <p>What I really need is a solution like this that works for sandals So many choices that others can wear are too loose around the instep for me when the rest fits fine, even sometime when there are adjustable straps across the ball of the foot. Going to a narrow width is hit-or-miss for me, because my feet are not narrow in width but do have low arches and arches (like you). I suppose it would have to be something that could be adhered to the foot bed. Seems a very tall order. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-tale-of-my-ecco-sneaks/page/2#post-2016417 Fri, 29 Mar 2019 13:53:00 +0000 RobinF 2016417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love these - great color! I have some black Ecco sneakers that I love (and I am not a sneaker person) and am wearing right now.

You are lucky, it is often easier to make something too big smaller than the opposite. And I have the opposite problem now. Ecco soft 7 are currently the only shoes I own ( other than booties which wearing season is coming to an end ) that can fit my custom orthotics and only after removing their original insoles.<br /> Do you think that this color would be appropriate for wearing to work or should I get the white? </p>
