Unlike every other pair of Ecco Shoes I've purchased (~15 pairs), these are very tight and difficult to get on.  I can't use a shoe horn because of the way they are built.  I ended up buying the size 45 for about 1/2 the price on sale,so I assume I'm not the only person this happened to.  I have very bad feet and rely on my Eccos to wear and fit well, but this pair was a serious disappointment.
