I have been on the hunt for a pair of comfortable, cute white sneakers that I could wear all day without having a break in period. I have tried them all!!For reference, I am 50, have no physical ailments and am going to Europe for 2 weeks with my daughter. I needed a pair of comfortable walking shoes to go with everything.I hesitated in buying these, they are $$& but a friend has them and swears by them.Putting them on, I thought ah no, they felt a tad stiff. The next day I put them on and walked around. Oh my goodness!After searching, trying and buying at least 30 different white sneakers - these are it.Yes, they are on the very high end of the budget but if they last as I expect, they’re worth it.

I own about 30 pairs of Ecco sneakers, including many pairs of the Soft 7. Needless to say, I am a big fan of Ecco. I just bought a pair of the Soft 7 Cognac on sale. To my dismay, these shoes have a horrible odor, a kind of deep musty smell, which I assume is from shipping. They are unwearable with the odor. I took out the insoles, unlaced the shoes, and placed both the shoes and the insoles outside in the sunshine. I next tried air purefying bags that contain bamboo charcoal. I stuffed each shoe with the bags and placed the insoles in the box with another air purefying bag. The odor has improved, but is still detectable. I saw a review for another Ecco style in which the reviewer states that she always wipes the insides of the shoe with sanitizing wipes after each ... MoreI own about 30 pairs of Ecco sneakers, including many pairs of the Soft 7.

Although that reviewer attributes the odor to the lining used in the style she was reviewing, I may try that next. I like the Cognac color, which will be good for autumn. I agree with the reviewers who find the Soft 7 now feels too big. I think mine will be fine with socks--if I ever get the odor out.

I bought these shoes in the red color, they arrived looking a lot more raspberry than red. They were discounted which might explain that they appeared to be returned before. I had planned on red, but the color they are is adorable and I might like it more than red. I've received many compliments. They are my second pair in a different color. They are sueded so I treated them for rain, which I did not do for my first pair and wished I had. I also purchased the suede protective spray from Nordstrom, and it is great. I recommend theses shoes.
