ECCO Women's Soft 7 Tred Fashion Boot - Waterproof Leather Ankle Boots for Women with Cushioned Comfort - Perfect for Work, Travel & Everyday Wear

Like:First off, the do seem to be ethic. The leather is really nice, and the real sheepskin is very like Uggs. The footbed is much more formed then, say, Sketchers ( which are not in the same price range) . Not V italia fit and formed (that are in the same price range) The footbed and arch are normal (not as soft as V italia) but the nice real wool footbed can be taken out, and does make a nicely soft footbed. If you have high arches (like I do) use an arch support othepedic insert (I put one in from another boot just to try out) it will fit with out rubbing on the top of your foot. But, I found I didn't need an other insert. The shoebed isn't narrow, but flattering, not looking like a wide a huge "manshoe" like other boots. The bottoms are perfect for winter grip, but still flex nicely. Best of all, the top and bottom look slim and flattering and not gapping out. There is a membrane in the foot that suppose to make it somewhat waterproof. The price was more then half priced the time period I bought. I put them in the cart, then they went up another $50 before I went to pay, then they went back down again to less then half price. Amazon does that, so a good tip for bargain hunters like me, put in the cart you want and watch! Amazon just stared selling this brand.Cons:Because the sheepskin is real, one boot has a thicker skin then the other in my pair. Is it a deal breaker for me? No, but if your picky it might. There is no zipper, so you put them on like you do Uggs or cowboy boots, flex the foot and shove. If you can't do that, look somewhere else. This color is a bit lighter then pictured in color, not a lot or a deal breaker. Made from sheepskin from Spain but made in Indonesia. Older Ecco are made in Portugal like other fine (and expensive) shoes.
