Listen up!  If your are going to wear ECCO shoes (and you should) you must be familiar with how they are sized.<br />The sizes are listed differently than you may be accustomed to.  However, I am a size 10-101/2 and the ECCO size 43 fits me perfectly every single time.<br />This is my 10th pair of ECCO and they are always a good fit and super comfortable.  My advice would be that you go to a retail store and try on a pair (of ECCO dress shoes) in your expected size.<br />This particular shoe has amazing comfort with very current styling.<br />Today I wore them with dress slacks and tomorrow I'll wear them with khakis!<br />For this shoe I expected the front portion (cap) to be a bit darker and actually worried about how to best match the belt.<br />Not to worry, the cap is not as dark as the picture suggests and the overall color is uniform.<br />The only potential downside with ECCO is that they don't look &#34;new&#34; as long as some other brands even with frequent conditioning/polishing.  That being said, I wear my ECCOs frequently and I'm &#34;hard on shoes&#34;!<br />I am going to get another pair exactly like this so I don't wear the one out.
