Thanks to their elasticity, the products perfectly fit the foot and follow the contour of the foot. Ecco sneakers fit the heel and have a slightly free toe that does not pinch the toes.
- Sports shoes do not allow moisture to pass through, but at the same time they provide free access to air - feet will not get wet in them, but they will not fog up either.

Models
According to seasonality, Ecco sneakers can be divided into summer and warmed models. As for the first category, they are often made of textiles and have light or bright colors. Due to the heat resistance, the shoes are not hot in summer and not cold in winter.
One of the most popular models is the Ecco BIOM Run sneaker. Before developing this modification, technologists, together with engineers, carefully examined the legs of more than two thousand athletes of various profiles. The result is a sneaker that is able to perfectly adapt to the anatomical features of each person's foot.
The BIOM Run sneaker features a smart construction, light weight (due to the polyurethane sole) and extraordinary comfort. Polyurethane outsole with PCA foam improves grip and comfort. Athletic shoes are so flexible that they can easily be bent in half or even rolled up into a tube. It is appreciated by both professional athletes and ordinary consumers.
Ecco also pays great attention to the children's audience, who loves the catchy modern design of the sneakers. The designers of the Danish brand develop comfortable products for running, hiking and sports training for young customers.
The upper of these sneakers is unusually soft, the textile lining absorbs moisture and allows air to flow. Two-layer insoles create an optimal microclimate. Parents can choose a model for their child with spectacular lacing or a comfortable Velcro fastener. In addition, the children's sneakers are equipped with a non-slip sole.
Ecco models take into account the peculiarities of children's feet, for example, the heel is characterized by a characteristic bevel for maximum comfort. And the shock absorption system evenly distributes the load on the joints.
If you are looking for sports shoes for your son or daughter for long hikes, then Ecco has options with a thick sole with a removable insole.
Colour
The color scheme of Ecco sneakers is very diverse. These are classic black and white models. Beige, brown, blue variants of sneakers also look impressive. Moreover, many products have a white sole.
Products of contrasting colors are interesting: blue-gray, red-brown, blue-white, white-lilac, black-burgundy sneakers.
Children's models are bright, especially options for girls. Sneakers with a metallic effect for young fashionistas look especially stylish.
How to choose?
When choosing summer or more insulated sneakers from Ecco, pay attention, first of all, to comfort. The heel should be rigidly fixed at the expense of the heel, but it is better to give freedom to the toes.
According to experts, it is recommended to purchase sports shoes half a size larger, since they do not need to be worn out. When doing this, take into account the individual characteristics of your foot.
As you know, Ecco shoes are produced not only in factories in Denmark. The quality of products made in some developing countries (in spite of strict control) may be slightly inferior to analogues of European factories. Therefore, especially picky buyers are always interested in the question of the country of origin of a particular sneaker model.
Note that recently, cases of fake Ecco shoes have become more frequent, and this mainly concerns just the same sneakers. Fraudsters usually do not pay attention to the following things that increase the cost of products:
- In order not to become a victim of fraud, when buying, check for the availability of an article consisting of 11 digits, which absolutely any branded model has on the box label. The first six digits are the model number and the five digits are the color number. By the way, according to the article number, you can find the product on the official Ecco website and compare it with your purchase.
- The original products of the Danish brand are packed in a gray cardboard box with the same laconic design as the shoes. The sneakers themselves are by all means wrapped in paper with the brand's logo.
- Ecco shoes are always equipped with cardboard liners that keep their shape.
- Sneakers should not smell of rubber or glue. The sole of the original shoe is as if fused with the leather - this is an expensive technology, small manufacturers cannot afford it.
- Another indicator of the originality of sneakers is the insole: for Ecco products, it always repeats the anatomical shape of the foot and has at least two layers of material.
To avoid counterfeiting, buy sneakers only in branded Ecco stores. However, keep in mind that quality footwear will not be cheap.
Reviews
Despite the rather decent price of Ecco sneakers, they are in steady demand among buyers due to their extraordinary convenience and presentable appearance (without unnecessary "troubles"). Even in summer, some girls wear them practically without taking them off.
The owners of these sports shoes assure that they are not demolished and that they will choose the next pair of sneakers from the same company.
Another plus of Ecco sneakers is the presence of two options for laces, for example, white and blue are attached to white sneakers. It is convenient - you can, if you wish, change your image, focusing on your mood.
In addition, the sports models of the Danish brand are very petite in appearance. In some models, there is a wide elastic band under the tongue, which additionally fixes the leg.
Consumers also rejoice that the shoe withstands the rain test.
The owners of sneakers praise the removable leather insoles, which, if desired, can be replaced with orthopedic ones. Ecco products do not chafe the heel, even when worn on bare feet.
It is impossible not to mention some of the disadvantages of Ecco products. This is of course a high price to pay. In this case, you can wait a bit - as women of fashion note, after a while brand stores often reduce prices for new models.
Due to the fact that the leather of the products is very soft, scratches inevitably appear on them over time.
