User Review: Ecco Track

Materials: Leather
Use: Light walking
Break-in Period: None
Price Paid: $200

Ecco Tracks are extremely light and comfortable, waterproof (GTX), and good looking. Problem is, they really aren't hiking boots. The sole appears to be a soft natural latex over a dense black foam. The sole is relatively thin and flexible, meaning that you feel every pebble you step on. After a couple of weeks of relatively light walking over mostly easy trails (Britain's Lake District; New Mexico's Rio Grande Gorge), large chunks of the latex had begun to peel off.

The store tells me Ecco doesn't have a way of resoling the shoes yet, but may be coming out with a fix soon. I'll believe it when I see it. Conclusion: These are terrific hiking boots provided you limit your hikes to the local shopping mall.
