Style Meets Elegance in the Ecco Rise Boot

By vareviews on Tuesday, January 26, 2010 - 18:47

Ecco shoes are often described as being, “crafted both by hand and by heart” and if you have had the opportunity to have one on, you will understand why.

Ecco shoes were first created in a small town called Bredebro in Denmark, because a man called Karl Toosbuy did not like having his feet mould to match his shoes; rather he wanted his shoes to adapt to his feet.   His decision to create shoes that would adapt to the feet led to the creation of Ecco.  The little shoe company that was born some forty years ago is today, famous for providing shoes that are comfortable, flexible, well- crafted and of very high quality.  Quality and high level of craftsmanship   are terms that provide an apt description for the Ecco Rise Gore-Tex Boots.
 
The Ecco Rise Boot Gore-Tex Coffee Leather/Suede has Leather upper with suede detail, with a buckle strap.

It fits true to size. I wore a size 8.5 with my socks on.

It fits true to width. I have narrow feet and they fit perfectly.

The shoes come in two colors; coffee and black.

The Ecco Rise Boot Gore-Tex Coffee Leather/Suede, as the name implies has a combination of leather and suede.  The suede felt very soft to touch.  It had a removable felt insole which provided comfort for my feet.  The felt were so soft they felt like feathers under the feet.  When I slipped on my shoes, they did not feel too tight around my calves, a little snug, but not tight. This may be different for some people.  I liked the light sole and the stability it provided when I had them on.  It made my steps seem lighter in an interesting way.
 
The Ecco Rise Boot Gore-Tex Coffee Leather/Suede is very flexible.  They may be dressed up or worn casually with a pair of jeans.  Whichever way they are worn, these shoes will appear classy and chic.

When I had the shoes on, I felt like I had met a good friend it felt; comfortable, stable and stylish.  I am not the only huge fan of the beautiful Ecco Rise Boot Gore-Tex Coffee Leather/Suede.  Here are some customer reviews:

“It has a great combo of suede and smooth leather.”

“These are very comfortable and true to size.  They are a nice leather boot and not too tight around the calf.  Great to wear all day”.

“They are beautiful and comfortable”.

Some customers who have had to return the Ecco Rise Boot Gore-Tex Coffee Leather/Suede did so, not for reasons related to style and comfort, but for sizing;

“Since the sizing is different, I am a size 8, and I had to order a size 39 (8-8 1/2) I added an extra pair of   socks and they are perfect”.

On a comfort scale, I rate these shoes as a 10.

On a cuteness scale, these shoes are very feminine and trendy, so I’d say a well deserved 10.

The one thing that threw me off balance a bit was the price.  They are pricey but well worth it.  You will love your feet in these shoes. I also wished it did not come only in medium width.

The Ecco Rise Boot Gore-Tex Coffee Leather/Suede makes comfort look very good.
