![]() This was way back in 2000s when Dansko was just becoming popular in the US. I never had Ecco shoes but I did have several pairs of Dansko clogs. And I kept laughing because I can totally imagine the situation. I looked down and saw that the soles were crumbling, then I looked behind me, and all the way down the hall I had left small black bits of my shoes. A few years ago I was wearing them at work, and suddenly they began to feel very strange, as if my heels were lower than my toes. I had a pair of Swedish clogs for years- don’t remember the brand - that were sooo comfortable. Make sure that at least one pair does NOT have a rubbery bottom.Take at least two different pairs of shoes on a trip.So, I guess there a few morals to this story: One thing is for sure: I doubt that I will spend any money on Ecco shoes ever again, and I will certainly never take a pair of their shoes on a trip! It makes me wonder about other shoes that have that same sort of rubbery bottom - will those also disintegrate with no notice? Is this a widespread problem with the rubbery bottomed shoes and boots? If not, maybe Zappos can help me or the local TV consumer reporter. I submitted a complaint to Ecco and I'll see if they'll reimburse me. ![]() The bottoms of their Ecco shoes or boots disintegrate after a few years, even if they haven't been worn much. LOTS of people have experienced the exact same thing. I did some research and came across this from a consumer watchdog website: Fortunately, they are not the only shoes I brought with me on my trip! I am extremely disappointed because I thought that Ecco was a high quality brand. The rubber bottom is crumbling and is falling apart! The booties are in almost new condition except for the bottoms. When I took them off I realized that they are totally breaking on the bottom. Tonight I noticed that they were sticking to the floor in my hotel room for some reason. I wore them for a couple of days, walking on sidewalks or in stores. This week I went on a trip to New Mexico and thought it would be nice to wear these booties with jeans. I'd estimate that I'd worn them MAYBE a dozen times since I bought them. I haven't worn them much over the years, but when I did it was just around town (on sidewalks). I bought a pair of Ecco low booties in 2010 for $130 from Zappos. I taped them up with duct tape to make it through the rest of the day (lovely – lol), which didn’t make walking any easier, but kept me from leaving more crumbs all over the building. As I retraced my steps, I saw that I had been leaving these crumbs all day, and hadn’t noticed until enough of the soles had been lost that the shoes felt different. It looked like Hansel and Gretel had left breadcrumbs to find their way back. I’m so glad you posted this - I mean I’m sorry it happened to you, but before reading this I had never heard of it happening to anyone but me.
