Sorry, you could not find your size. I wish Ecco would offer half sizes. It could make such a big difference for people who fall in between sizes. I wear the size 40, and I am a 9.5. It feels great, but there are so many variations in foot types, so I understand. I appreciate your input. I do have another idea for you. Have you tried the Vionic's leather sneakers? I like this shoe too - I am reviewing this shoe soon. Take a look amzn.to/3SFRMic

Thank you so much for sharing your experience-it's clear you've put a lot of thought and effort into finding the comfortable shoe. Feet can dictate your entire trip and mood, so I completely get it. It sounds like you're navigating a tough combination: high arches and a narrow heel can make finding the right fit a real challenge. I'm sorry to hear about the Ecco Soft 7’s; I love these shoes and tend to live in mine. I never had this issue. I wonder if replace the footbed would help? It’s interesting that the $30 faux suede loafers ended up being more comfortable than some of the pricier options-it’s such a reminder that comfort doesn’t always come with a high price tag - but personally, my feet get so hot and steamy in faux leather shoes. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts-I also like the Merrell Encore Ice and agree they’re not ideal for travel but are fantastic for home or errands. If you’re open to suggestions, I’d recommend trying the Dansko Harlyn. Based on your foot type and my own experience, they’ve been a fantastic travel companion for me. I hope they work just as well for you. Stay well!

@TrustyShoeGuides When I was in The Netherlands, I found an Ecco store. They carried the Soft 7 line, and I checked them for the ridge within the sole. Most didn't have it, but some did. I tried on a pair without the ridge, and they felt fine. Never buying expensive shoes again without being able to try them on in store. I have found a store in a nearby city that carries the Dansko Harlyn. I think I'll make a trip after the holidays and try them on.

@TrustyShoeGuides And ...... I would never take the Amazon shoes on a trip ......they're not supportive enough ...... but they're fine for errands, and they're very cute.

@@DC-pr2bq I understand. Be sure to let me know your thoughts after you try them on.

understood.

The insole is removable, but I would try them without to see how they feel. There is a good amount of support built into the outsole, and many women report they don't need them with the Soft 7.

Absolutely - this is one of the main reasons they made my list. They help stabilize your heel to avoid overpronation.

I know. The cushioning and support is top notch!

Yes, Ecco's design gives a nice snug fit around the heel, which is a win for narrow feet. Plus, the laces let you tweak the fit so it feels secure.

If you’re after shoes that nail comfort, quality, and style, the ECCO Soft 7 is totally worth it. this sneaker checks all the boxes for: for comfort, quality, and style

The ECCO Soft 7 shoes are known for being comfortable straight out of the box. For me, they required little to no break-in period thanks to their soft leather uppers and cushioned footbeds. However, it’s always a good idea to test them on a few shorter outings first to ensure the perfect fit and comfort. This will give the leather time to form on your foot.

ECCO Soft 7 shoes are built to last well beyond just one trip. They’re made with durable full-grain leather and hold up beautifully over time. With proper care and occasional conditioning, these shoes can easily become a long-term travel companion for many adventures.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, quality has shifted across the board. It is hard to tell from looking at a shoe how it will wear over time. Good materials make a big difference. And it’s also not just you or the age or weight change, as we get older, our feet often need more support (there is a decline in natural cushioning), and that’s a huge factor in finding a comfortable fit. Shoes that were “good enough” when we were younger just don’t cut it anymore when it comes to comfort or longevity. The good news is that there are still some quality options out there if you dig a little, especially with brands that focus on design for foot health.

Noted

It's not heavy - it weights 1.2 pounds per pair which is an average for a shoe. So, weight isn’t an issue-you’ll get the comfort and support you need without feeling weighed down.

Yes, the insole of the ECCO Soft 7 is removable, making it easy to replace with custom orthotics if needed for even greater comfort.

Yes the insoles are removable, however I find these to be too supportive to work well with orthotics: The footbed of the Ecco Soft is built up to fit the natural curve of a feet, the arch support is in the footbed of the shoe itself and not in the removable insole, once I add orthotics the arches become too high for the shoe to be comfortable. I’m on my third pair of Ecco soft and with all three pairs I’ve broken the shoes in without orthotics in them, then with the first two pairs I added in well worn non custom orthotics, the arches were still slightly too high, but I preferred it too the alternitive. The heels on the Eccos are also quite built up which makes them a little too stiff with orthotics and they wear out quicker because of it. With my third pair I took the custom orthotics out after two days and I’ve forgotten to wear them since. These are however fantastic for anyone that needs a little extra support without needing full on orthotics.

@@gerda_asgeirs Thank you, friend. I completely understand your point. A lot of support is built into the outsole, so you are probably right. I appreciate your point and welcome you to my community.

Yes, I find the nice cushioning and good level of shock absorption too. While not as heavily cushioned as some memory foam athletic sneakers, Ecco Soft 7 has a cushioned, supportive feel that I find comfortable for long days on my feet.

ECCO Soft 7s are made with premium full-grain leather or nubuck, which holds up better than synthetic or mesh materials. The PU outsole is flexible yet tough, resisting cracking and wear far better than regular rubber. So, they’re built to handle daily wear on different surfaces without wearing out quickly.

Hi, thanks for watching! While I like Skechers Slip-Ons for casual comfort, I’ve found that KURU shoes are a better option when it comes to serious foot support, especially for those dealing with issues like plantar fasciitis, flat feet, or neuropathy-or for anyone looking to proactively prevent foot problems as they age. While Skechers are more budget-friendly, priced at about half the cost of KURU, KURU’s investment in better foot support technology is noticeable for those needing extra support when walking.

Absolutely!

i know, this one is a goodie

Hi, thanks for your comments. I totally understand your point. The over sizes "marshmallow-like" outsoles are popular right now but not for everyone. KURU shoes are not this built this way. The Atom is only 1 1/8 inches in black and they have great support. If you decide to get them, let me know how the work out.

@@TrustyShoeGuides thanks for your response I sure will

yes, many women have the same experience

KURU uses mesh and other synthetic materials so the material itself will not mold to your foot easily like leather BUT because of the wide toe box your bunions will most likely not rub up against the sides so the material not an issue since there is so much room in the shoe cavity.

Yes, this is a design hack I learned over the years

Yes, they come in wides in sizes 5-12! They do a great job of accommodating this market.

@@TrustyShoeGuides Wide last, or wide toe box?

@@wellhellothere6347Hi, sure, I can help here. KURU Quantum has a wide toe box but ALSO comes in wides widths. I would only order wide if you have a true wide foot.

the base is solid and not flimsy so I bet they do.

KURU Quantum comes with wide bases and sturdy outsole that help you feel more grounded. This added stability can make a big difference in preventing slips and falls, which is why they're a great choice if you're looking for extra support to keep your balance steady when walking.

Thanks for the tip

A pair is about 1.2 lbs which is pretty average for a pair of shoes. These are not heavy at all, despite of the comfort features built into the shoes.

@@TrustyShoeGuides are they similar to HOKA in weight?

@@suggiesshoes4946 KURU will be a couple ounces heavier than a HOKA shoe. HOKAs feel like you are stepping into a foam chamber. KUEU will feel less like foam and more will have more firm support.

I would say 1-2 years, depending on how often you walk. Podiatrists generally suggest replacing shoes after about 350-500 miles of use. But, of course, the actual lifespan can vary depending the type of terrain, how much your feet sweat, and even your personal walking style. Everyone’s a little different!

Thank you for your feedback. The stretchy upper offers many benefits, but without laces, I understand how the fit might feel loose for some women, especially with varying instep heights, which may be the reason for your heel slippage. I recommend taking a close look at the Stride Move. It features a lace-up design, allowing you to tighten the fit for better support and a more secure heel fit. kurufootwear.sjv.io/KjN4L9. But I think any of KURU lace-up shoes would work as well. Take care and I do appreciate your honest feedback.

KURU Stride is one of my top shoes for bunions too. Ttride has a seamless knit upper that feels soft against the skin and is less likely than other materials to irritate bunions.

Yes, KURU Shoes are not only offered in half sizes, but they come in size 5 1/2-12. They even offer 11.5 which if VERY rare. KURU shoes are made with American lasts rather than European lasts, so there is no tricky sizing.

How exciting! You will definitely need a good pair of walking shoes. If your foot is narrow, check out the Stide Move. It is exactly like the the Stride but has laces so you can synch up any extra room. If you are a A or AA it will work: kurufootwear.sjv.io/ba6VRk. Safe Travels!

thanks for weighing in here. I agree. They are an up and coming brand that many people don't know about. They have excellent customer service too.

ouch! we have all been there.

That's why I started this channel - sharing my shoe knowledge with other link-minded women!

good point

for sure. I only recommend shoes that pack nicely. This upper collapses - no bulky sneakers on my list.

@@suggiesshoes4946 Yes -really important
