I bought my last 3 pairs of shoes thru Amazon, and I think a substantial review of Ecco men's shoe quality is in order. I've been wearing the men's Helsinki Bicycle Toe Slip-On shoe since 2006... 18 years! However, since the pandemic, I've watched their shoe quality deteriorate to the point where I won't buy another pair - specifically speaking here of the quality of the soles. Early on after I started wearing my last pair, I noticed a small crumbling hole in the tread. Over time that hole developed into a cavernous disappointment. Further, cracks and fissures running across the tread later developed, and I ended up wearing a pretty shabby pair of shoes for quite a while. Another thing beside this point is Ecco no longer makes the shoe that I've worn since 2006 - the men's Helsinki Bike Toe Slip-On. Hard to believe that after all these years, they just dropped it. I feel like the pandemic had something to do with all of this and I believe they just don't have the people nor the desire to keep this a great shoe company. All of that said takes me to my last statement - a message to Ecco shoes: So long, Ecco. You've lost a long term customer, and from what I can tell, I'm not the only one.
