Awesome, shipstation is the best!

I just had an inspiration for videos. Active military boots. I am in the Navy and our smooth black “shipboard” boots seem like they are garbage. I would love to see if their cost is justified at all.

[@joeshmoe9233]

You should cut a pair of Redwing Roughnecks before they run out again. Redwing moc toe with a shank and a lug sole in the beautiful Briar Oil Slick leather. DO IT!

[@skunkape8326]

Just ean across one hell of a cowboy boot... Beck's Boots from Amarillo Texas.

[@eccosko]

Such a wonderful and informative video! Thank you for choosing the ECCO STAKER boot, and we are looking forward to seeing more!

[@allanlarsson3005]

Stop selling in russia, bastards!!!

[@torbenmller7684]

Horrible compagny - directly helping Putin in his horrible war in Ukraine. Boykot ECCO

[@sorenbuhl1]

And you can buy the ECCO products from the danish company, that still supports Putins slaughter of innocent children i Ukraine. The company used to be a supplier to the Royal Danish Court, but those ties are being cut, since the danes really dont like Putins lapdogs! So enjoy the comfy walk, it sponsors russian warcrimes🤢

[@-BuddyGuy]

I have read a lot of horror stories about PU soles disintegrating. Explain

[@anomicanomic2705]

I never got their boots but had a job with alotnof walking where I had to wear “dress shoes”. The Ecco were a life saver. They are so comfy I still have a pair that are beat to hell they I keep when I’m mowing the grass or working on the car just for the comfort.

[@Mikhos]

so cool to see how your channel has grown, especially how much more informative you are in each video the infographic on how the boot is constructed was an awesome touch.

[@C24242]

I just wanted to stop by and say I love what you do not just for the reviews but for breaking down the construction and sharing your knowledge on boots. It's helped me assess boots before I buy them, before it was mostly a shot in the dark. I wish retailers would have cross sections online/in store.

[@mkUltra273]

Same same!!

[@KeithBalante]

I got these boots on sale for $220 CDN so about $180 USD. Great review much appreciated. As I get older, comfort is more important than durability 😉

[@LazyStory]

Agree ! I have some Salomon. Heavy as hell, because they are so durable.. But I cant stand them more than 1-2 hours. ... Let me pay more and get comfy footwear. I am going looking for these boots from tomorrow

[@oleopathic]

Love this channel. Why: . Elegant presentation . Eloquent monologue . Interesting subject matter . Near-scientific analysis of materials and techniques . Reference to shoe history .

You are absolutely correct, Toaster is such a great cat!

shout out to ecco's enormous customer support. Always go above and beyond, had years old shoes get free repairs several times.

[@youraveragepasser-by7367]

A constant issue I've read about ECCO shoes are the soles wearing out quickly. Thankfully the customer service is top notch.

[@spraymie]

I love this channel, so informative and great demonstration on the build of a shoe/boot. Keep it up Spraymie 🇬🇧

[@spencerstein8525]

Thanks for reviewing a pair of Eccos. I have been wearing the Track II boots for decades. Each lasts nearly 10 years. I have worn them all over the world on all types of terrain and through all types of weather. They have never failed me in any way. They have always maintained their complete waterproofing. I have also had countless pairs of Ecco dress and casual shoes. All have worn very well. I also have had many pairs of traditionally made Aldens, AEs ans Churches and they do last nearly forever with proper care. I have pairs that are over 30 years old! All have their place in the rotation.

[@Boris-Jx]

Love Ecco’s. Buying this brand for many years. Please do more reviews for them. Thanks!

[@craigbrown2385]

i collect boots. but Ecco is what i wear to work. i wear the Track 25 moc toe. its easily the most comfortable boot i've ever worn. they wear out pretty fast and cannot be resoled. but you can't put a price on foot comfort when you are up and walking 10-12 hours a day it makes a huge difference. i buy a pair just before the pair I'm wearing daily to work's sole is toast and by the time my boots are trashed i've already broken in my new pair by wearing on weekends and around the house. they do take about a month to fully break in. but once they are broken in..nothing compares.

[@radry100]

I appreciate that you chose a boot that is also available in europe for once. Sadly most boots you review aren't available here.

[@melon7592]

yeah i cant find a single good boot in europe, WTF do europeans not work or what? im having to pay hundreds of dollars to import some

[@Shithappenswhenu]

When you’re younger you want something to last forever. When you’re older comfort is king!

[@johnhall9900]

I'm glad that I'm not alone in warching these videos. Endlessly entertaining and educational. Thanks, Rose Anvil!

[@drfathertime]

I've been eyeing this exact model for a few months now, the thing with Ecco is that, yes they are really comfortable, but soles just disintegrate like a cotton candy in rain after a few years. And their shoes are not like super affordable or anything. Thank you for this vid!

[@cafenight7672]

Sole really problem, you know I have boots with perfect look but sole like wtf

[@RomanBaranovic]

exactly, i have had many ecco shoes over the years and the sole became problem after few years on everyone of them

[@valeriemcdonald440]

It might depend on the shoe or the year. I have the soft 7 sole shoes and they're been going strong since 2018. I wear them constantly though, and I did read that the problem might be from them getting dried out.

[@Mikhos]

My understanding is a lot of eccos are made with polyurethane solee which can become brittle easily

[@drfathertime]

@@Mikhos the things is, Ecco soles disintegrate faster than say, Nike sneakers or random tennis shoes, and that's just unacceptable. Esp when you are paying more for an Ecco pair.

[@koryleach9660]

I’d like to see you start cutting actual dress shoes in half. I.e. Allen Edmonds, Florsheim etc. It would be interesting to see the range of quality between wingtips, blutchers, wholecuts and derbies. It would open up a whole slew of additional content and side by side comparisons.

[@davidlopez9354]

The way you second guessed the last names was gold 🤣🤣 keep up the great work! we appreciate you.

[@polyblank73]

please do more ecco content! as someone who is an avid user of ecco, i loved this video! cant wait for more.

[@mdquaglia]

I've worn Ecco boots (off and on) for almost 30 years. I got at least 1,000 miles out of a pair of Track Gore-Tex boots in the early 2000's. Since that pair, I've gotten four or five years out of a pair wearing them 4 days a week. Today, I own three pairs of Ecco Gore-Tex boots. Ecco is still my preferred brand of shoe/boot for everyday wearing. As far as break-in, I've never really needed to break in any of the Ecco's I've bought.

[@bootedcameraman6393]

Awesome and informative video! Thanks for covering this! Well done!👏👏

[@ClosertoBooks]

Interesting, i’ve been wearing Ecco since 2004. The only ones I have had to break in are my new dress shoes. Recently, I tried on one pair that were just too squishy for me, and well over $200. It wouldn’t surprise me if Ecco used the same technology in those that you described here. I have a pair of Ecco boots that are great for hiking and they are truly waterproof. But the shoes/boots I would rather have for daily wearing are either Allen Edmond or Thursday, which rely on traditional methods of construction rather than all the gluing and foam-injection outsoles that Ecco has used for so many years.

[@carltuckerson7718]

I've worn several Ecco's over the years. Honestly, they're some of the highest quality and comfortable dress shoes I ever owned. I don't wear dress shoes for work anymore (thank goodness - I wear a mix of different Lems thanks to Rose Anvil).

[@Ryan-er3jz]

Loving Moctober/Moceverymonth. Would love to see a similar series on other boot styles (i.e. combat boots)!

[@mccoyburgess844]

Summary provided a quick overview of the boot. I liked it-a LOT. Have some Ecco dress casual shoes. Very comfortable but not what I want in a boot. Thank you for your channel. It’s very refreshing with integrity. Please keep it up.

[@ahill209]

Most of my casual shoes are Eccos. They simply fit better for my feet. And, generally, they last a lot longer than more mainstream brands. Maybe 20 years ago, Ecco used to produce re-soleable shoes, but they switched to bonded soles. Bummer, because the soles are what wears out first on my shoes, and it would be nice to have an already broken in shoe resoled. Ecco has also moved toward only keeping a particular model for sale for a couple years before replacing it with something different. When I wear out my Thorogoods, I can buy a new pair of the same design and construction. No so anymore with Ecco. Their golf shoes are amazing!

[@Collin_J]

I have a pair of their shearling moctoe from about 2014. The upper has come unglued on both feet now and they've had the heels replaced, but the leather has held up pretty well and they're still relatively comfy

[@marcouillerolivier3012]

Excellent review!! Thank you.

[@alessandrosilveira9009]

I am very grateful for the work that you do! Thanks to you, I see on a different way boots today! Most of them are very low quality. I love Thursdays boots and their products really answer all my needs. I just would like to see a "Canadian winter boots" from Thursday.

[@barryrahn5957]

So good to see Toaster again! He has his winter coat I see. I thought maybe T was dead. As for the boots, I always thought Ecco was a cheaper brand, but that midsole - very nice. Happy 2023

[@gram4020]

I stumbled across this video as I was thinking of buying these boots. Great videos & as comfort is my main requirement, I went ahead & bought these. They arrived 2 days ago. I wore them around the house for 30 minutes yesterday & went out walking with the kids today for a couple of hours. They have already broken in & are super comfortable. Thanks for the video.

[@hogibunz834]

Those birch Burt’s are dope as heck. I’m a big bear foot guy and I’ve been eyeing a pair of those for a while now. Love me some good tumbled leather.

[@tx1hawkins357]

Great analysis! I do buy Ecco Gore-Tex dress shoes. The leather is decent, Polishes well and last just long enough to make the price acceptable. Thanks for dissecting down to where the rubber meets the road,so to say 😁

[@justino3991]

I got Ecco hiking shoes made with yak leather, and goretex. Wish they still made them, I’d buy a second pair.

[@tristambre632]

Ive been asking a review of ECCO shoes for à while, im glad you guys finally did it ! I have a paire of staker ( but the chelsea version for women) and I love them alot.

[@tt55k]

I do not know about the boots but the outsole in their shoes lasts forever and they have great traction . All of my shoes made by Ecco last years and hundreds of miles .

[@av2217]

Bro , WHAT i think IS that You ARE Right! THANKS FOR this AMAIZING reviews You do 😊

[@Petey5]

The ecco soft 7 has been my go-to sneaker for a few years for its wide toebox and overall comfort. The midsole and outsole seems more traditionally structured and has served me well

[@goldcrownkingmod]

Bought the Ecco soft 8 and they’re amazing. I’ve been an Ecco fanboy for over a decade and they’re so well built and comfortable.

[@glumberty1]

I had that shoe and loved it until the leather on the top began splitting. It was a disappointment for a $150 shoe. I have another pair of echos that look like brown Clarks. They're comfortable and have been holding up well. Overall, they are decent shoes.

[@christopherscott3264]

I ADORE seeing your beautiful kitty in your videos!!!

[@fixittony]

For business casual and semi dress shoe I only buy Ecco for the past 10 years. I love Ecco shoes… good boot review. Thank you

[@oppositeofh8]

i've missed seeing ol' toasty in the vids lately. i've been scanning through a few just to get a decent glimpse. 😻😻😻😻😻💖💖💖💖💖 also, i'm a big ecco fan. most of their "regular" shoes are ridiculously comfortable.

[@francocalcagni9323]

After seeing this video when it came out, I checked this model out online, and probably being the after Christmas sales period, I also found them at $100 off. So I bought a pair...very comfortable. I have 3 pairs of Ecco boots, they along with a pair of Irish Setter Ashby's, are among the most comfortable boots I have. I care less for durability because I have enough to rotate and never wear any pair more than 1 day a week. Like someone else mentioned, I am in my 60's and comfort is more important than durability.

[@justindcook9]

I think I've come to enjoy the center-cut score portion of your videos the most. Not to say I don't love the rest of your videos, but whenever you start cutting a boot in half I start my predictions/personal grading of the score. It's just great fun.

[@MadelnMachines]

The upper looks great and I love the water resistance. Oro leather absorbs every little drop of water. I also know I'll love the foam and the comfort. The welt is the major dowside to the aesthetic. I really love the look of contrast goodyear welts. I think they took it a bit too far with the foam - That insole would have been enough to provide comfort or even the outsole half filled with foam and half rubber. They're a much more competitive price in europe than they are in the US - $120 cheaper than red wing.

[@Big_Deal]

Love your channel and videos. I would appreciate seeing you cut apart some more modern work boots (specifically the Red Wings Exos Lite with BOA) as well as motorcycle shoes/boots.

[@GamerNxUSN]

I remember trying on a pair of Ecco Track 2's about 10 years ago, they were indeed super comfortable, just too expensive for me at the time.

[@TM_Stone]

So happy to see Toaster back ❤️

[@msw4988]

Great review 👍🏻

[@eliseomedina8768]

I've owned redwings,timberlands,wolverines, all comfortable the first 3 months. Then it was like being barefoot on concrete. With a flat foot and being 270lbs this is exactly what I wanted to hear... "the most comfortable moctoe in the 🌎 "

[@Shithappenswhenu]

If your flat foot you'd prob benefit from insoles like superfeet or powerstep. Brilliant for boots and supporting the foot arch.

[@JonasKFriedChicken]

Would be cool to see you do a series on golf shoes. Loads of weird tech claims in that world, as well as a pretty massive split in terms of looks.

[@charlesclay7842]

Great video, I think these are for those people who want the look, but don’t need the work function capability this style normally provides. I have Ecco’s, 2 business shoes, 2 walking trainers and 1 hiking boots and they are all the most comfortable footwear I have owned, I bought them all to help my recovery from plantar fasciitis.

[@johnphillips9821]

Love the channel. Would you please make a video on quality low cut hiking shoes/boots?

[@nathanjackson8356]

I've had a pair of Ecco chukka boots since 2017 that I haven't been nice to and they still hold up fine surprisingly. Paid like 130 and probably walked at least a few hundred miles in them over the years and no discomfort besides a bit of a snug fit with thicker socks especially.

[@tnan123]

Always forget about Ecco. Thanks for sharing this one.

[@markallen4514]

I've owned many Ecco shoes and even hiking boots. Your review was spot on. Great comfort. Quality construction. And, alas, soles that don't last. If you are ok with treating them as an ongoing cost to replace--like a tech product, you will love them. I still buy Eccos at the outlet near my home if I can get them at a good price. At full price they are not a good deal.

[@dayadaya2712]

I have a lot of ecco shoes and accecories, the quiality of the leather is amazing, if you use the proper shoe care products they are much more durable then other brands. One of may favourites is my hiking boot, the ulterra mid, which i bought in 2014 . It's from thick yak leather, has goretex and some other thin lining and padding by the ankle. I apply regularry wax on them, never get my feet wet, but still breathable. I used on almost everything, rock, mud, snow, never slippery and still not look worn out.

[@SilojensenDK]

Dane here. I've had many pairs of Ecco shoes and boots since I was a toddler. Never in fashion, always a good product. 10-20 years ago, bad soles were an issue. Foam would disintegrate. I've returned four pairs of boots with this problem after two-three years of use and gotten a full refund. Always bought through Ecco. Customer support is great.

[@utharaptortrex]

I live close to the Ecco factory in Portugal. I had a pair of their plain toe boots for about 8 years and they took a lot of abuse from factory and workshot work, motorcycle riding, gardening, etc. I only retired them because they got soaked in engine degreaser and the soled started pealing. They were the most comfortable boot I ever had. Only complain I had was that I wore the lining leather down to the counter. I got a pair Dr.Martens to replace them and they only lasted a little more than a year of the same type of abuse (minus the engine degreaser) before the counter on them completely crumbled.

[@RebellionFreedom]

I have worn my Ecco shoes every day since the day I bought them. 3 years now and still rockin. Not sure they will be my next purchase or not.

[@ToddHallJr]

I cannot overstate how much I appreciate the toaster zoom.

[@embracethesuck1041]

I've been wearing ecco dress shoes exclusively for many years. I'm a footwear baby, and if it's not comfortable and supportive, it doesn't go on my feet. I'm really excited to try these out given my good experiences with the brand.

[@ricatiman]

I have been walking about in 6 different Ecco shoes and boots, starting 15 years ago. I love every pair, except their no spike golf shoes. My Moc toe Ecco 5" boots are 7 years old now, 1000+ days worn, and are still my favorite comfy all day boots, and feel like a comfy pair of slippers. The soles are a smooth yellow rubber and they are a glue together construction, and other than the cloth lining has worn through in a couple of spots - heel counters and above the big toes, they are still in decent shape, and I would go for a multi day walk in them anytime. I have similar to those insoles that you showed today in a pair of their walking shoes, model 120979-0106 and they have a red rubber insert 1/4" wide, that surrounds the underside of the insole inside the shoe - from the fore foot and around the heel - it's a seperate piece, that sits in that groove you discovered under the insole! And they hold your feet so well! I wonder if that piece of rubber surround is missing in your boots?

[@twatmunro]

I've owned multiple pairs of Ecco shoes and they've all been fantastically comfortable. Sadly, the styles tend to be a bit naff, but they make great shoes. I see a pair of these boots in my future.

[@dragoshsd]

I have the boots they made last year in collab with Stone Island. Insane design and excellent quality.

[@betulaobscura]

[@mattmatthews5414]

[@DimitrosSJ]

Ecco is one of my favourite shoes brand. My Track 2 lost from 1997 to 2016. That's almost 20 years. Upper was like New. P.S.: I still have and wear on sumners ecco Receptor sandals, which I bought on May 23-rd, 1999. The most comfy and strong sandals ever. But again, made in Denmark.

[@genek8630]

I have a pair of RedWing 1907's, didn't take me long to break them in, but after breaking them in, they fit my foot like a glove. Also, they are much more comfortable than the Iron Rangers.

[@christianflor1394]

As a side note, Ecco boots for children are a bit of a status symbol in Norway. It's what children are 'suppose' to wear, but they are expensive when you consider how quickly they outgrow them. Ecco is not as expensive here as in the U.S, but they're still not cheap.

[@gmail2731]

Sounds like what "Buster Brown" kids shoes were back in the 50's/60's here in the States.

I also just bought a pair of the track 2's. I have been trying to find comfortable shoes to work in for 8-9 years i have went through ALOT of brands from boots to runners, ecco is my #1 goto now!

[@northerndeer2959]

I've been wearing Ecco tredtray M 460374 boots for the past four years through mud, snow, frost and corrosive snow salts without ever conditioning them, occasionally kicking some sharp metal in the aforementioned snow - they truly are comfortable and there's barely any wear except for some scratches and leather getting slightly dry and discolored. Bought those indestructible sh*t kickers for like 140 bucks, worth every penny.

[@D_Jilla]

How are the outsoles and tread holding up?

[@northerndeer2959]

@@D_Jilla Up to 4 mm of rubber lugs at the very end of heels have been lost (gradually deeper in last 20 mm of boot length), which isn't critical because said lugs are 12 mm deep. I must however mention that we have notoriously abrasive asphalt here. Inner sides of outsoles became smooth because in winter I always smash boots into one another while getting in the car to get rid of snow. PU Midsole in unchanged. No other damage is present. Local cobbler confirms that ecco outsoles really do crumble after a few years, so perhaps tredtray line is an exception.

[@D_Jilla]

My wife got me Ecco Fusion 2 for our anniversary. I was blown away at the comfort and longevity of this shoe. Decided to buy a second pair. Although this boot is disappointing I can only speak to the Fusion. Excellent shoe.

[@mattwright9596]

Hey, you reviewed the Stakers! I was really hoping you would, and you’ve confirmed some stuff I suspected about them (good leather upper, weird sole/outsole). Glad you found some positives. The moc toes are currently on Zappos for $186.30 and the newer plain toes (which they call ‘logger boots’) are down to $162.00 for brown, $164 for black. At those prices they might make a little more sense. I’ve been eyeing the chelsea’s, which are only in the women’s line, but totally unisex and I think built on this same last. If you are looking for more “Blundstone killers”, I’d love to see what you think about the Canada West Boots chelseas. Made in Canada, Vibram soles, I think they are Goodyear welted. Actually all of their boots look really interesting. Hard to buy in the US, but a compelling brand for sure.

I always look for big sale/discounts and then buy couple pairs. been buying them for kids too when there are 50% off discounts

[@mattscott7037]

I sell cars for a living and walk on asphalt every day. I had a podiatrist recommend them to me in 1997. I have worn the Track and Track II’s since then. I was getting 6 months out my shoes. I get 3 years now. At 200+ dollars it was still cheaper than a new pair of 60 dollar shoes every 6 months. I highly recommend them. I wanted to love every other brand I have bought to try to replace the old Ecco’s and nothing compares. To name a few, Blundstones, Keen, Kuru, Bjorn and many more. Still love my Ecco’s. Rose Anvil I love the channel. You need to have a 20 mile trek with your subs to review the boots once a year. I will be there. Different pair on each person. Real world walking tests. Great stuff review the Tracks. They are the stuff of legend. Apparently people were running marathons in them when they came out because they were so comfortable. Thanks for the great content.

I use Ecco golf shoes (wing tips), and I love them. Super comfortable and stable for golf. I've walked an entire 18 hole round in them with zero issues, while my feet would hurt after walking a round in $300 Foot Joys. I was introduced to the company by the same person who introduced me to Birkenstocks. A small shoe store owned by a husband and wife that happen to be semi retired podiatrists. They recommended both shoe companies as essentials to good foot health. Ecco makes great shoes if you have "aging feet" from years of abuse, while Birkenstock makes Tylenol for your feet.

I wear Ecco oxfords at work, fairly cheap suede and glued down but they are so comfortable, not to mention nice and wide

[@cirian75]

Ohhh, wanted a review on these as aval in the UK

[@Truthseeker07111]

FYI, I work for ECCO and we don’t use glue. We are direct injected to the upper.

I work in a shoe store and I will say. Eccos never really impress me on the shelf but they always last much longer than I would expect!

[@everdinestenger1548]

With long narrow flat feet Ecco is always very comfortable for me, great fit.

[@spacetoast7783]

​@@everdinestenger1548 I really wish they'd make wide sizes. I just can't fit in their shoes.

I've been waiting for you to do ecco shoes! I don't know boots, but ecco's regular shoes are the only ones I wear now because I have flat feet and joint hypermobility, and ecco shoes are the only ones that I have bought that I can stand in all day without foot, ankle, or knee pain. Some sketchers are fine for my foot but they destroy my knee after a long day. I haven't tried some popular brands like blundstone or birkenstocks so I don't know how they compare. I need decent looking women's shoes.

Now that you’ve deconstructed ECCO and Birkenstock I’m hoping a pair of Mephisto’s will meet the saw this year (I’d go with the classic Rainbow model).

The Red Wing guy is who told me about ECCO for comfort. I still went with Thorogood's, but looking on Amazon these ECCO's were selling for $205-$267 depending on size. So for a size 10 with a sale going, $205 isn't a bad price. At full price though I still think Thorogood or even more for the Red Wing would be the way to go. The Red Wing with the high arch insert was going to a cost me over $100 more than Thorogood, that felt great out the box so that's what I went with.

Had a pair of Ecco Walkathons i bought in 2003. They were super comfy and i loved the looks for casual dress at work. The midsole however completely disintegrated after 3 years of light office use. The next model was fugly and looked like it was focused for senior citizens so i cant speak further on the quality of materials.

[@acomingextinction]

Yeah my #1 beef with Ecco is the designs.

[@shermanclark9757]

I had a pair of Ecco’s once that the outsole completely disintegrated. They were unreal comfy though for a short time

[@JeffNichols_pgh]

Same experience with Ecco shoes. The shoes were very comfy, but self-destructed after 3-4 years of very occasional wear. For the money that Ecco shoes cost, they should last longer. Will never buy another pair
