Ecco shoes fit my Dad very well. And Nordies is having a big men's sale.
He's very fit, 84. Walks a lot. Doesn't wear black. Lives a very casual life.

Anyways, I can't decide between these two styles.

First ones! That is, unless he is very conservative/old style when it comes to shoes and would prefer ones that looked less like sneaks.

My own dad would have chosen the second pair. Sole looks a little more substantial.

My dad would also chose the second pair. He would think the first pair did not look like men's shoes,but for boys. But he also would not wear jeans, just his old dress pants for casual. Look at the rave reviews of that second pair.

I like the first ones. It would depend on what other shoes he has imo. the first ones look more modern & casual but the second ones could be worn for walking but also as a slightly dressier shoe.

I think I'll get him both, and then he can decide.
Maybe one is more comfortable than the other.

I think that it depends on how he wants to look when he wears them. If he wants something that has a sporty vibe that he wants to wear when out on a walk, the first pair would probably be better. But if he wants something that he can also wear with a casual outfit and not have it look too out of place, the second pair might be better.

My 82 year old Papa only wears Ecco shoes too. High five. I vote get both and let him decide.

What a great idea to buy your dad shoes! What is his dominant season, i.e. when is he out and about the most? That could help if you have to choose between the two. I personally find the fist super funky and can picture my fit 72 years young dad in.

You are incredibly sweet to do this, and WOW, your dad must be really fit to be walking that much. So great. (My 89 year old mother is sadly not in the same position). High five to your dad about Ecco!
