   I have owned a pair of these boots before and have worn out the soles over the past 2-3 years. They have had considerable wearing in that time and I would rate them as the very best shoe I have ever worn - like wearing gloves on your feet. They have been durable, warm and waterproof in many extreme weather conditions (hot and cold) I cannot do without them so I am buying another pair. Highly rated.

   I have recently bought a pair of Track II and have to say I am rather disapponted. I have owned a previous version ( Don't know the model name )from about eight years ago and find the present ones to be much lower quality. The soles are not as thick, making them less insulating in cold weather, and less suitable for walking on anything but the smoothest ground. There are also no contoured insoles fitted, again making them less comfy. The lace eyelets are of the horrible metal loop type which wear laces out in no time. My previous pair of Ecco's had a leather capping piece to the moccasin stitching around the front of the boot. Surely this is a more sensible construction for supposedly waterproof footwear? Overall I feel the quality of the Ecco has definitely declined since I last purchased this make and are certainly not the go (almost) anywhere boot they should be at a price of £135.

   I have had a pair of these boots for 4 years and they have proven their worth in comfort, protection, and style. Extremely waterproof, warm in the cold and cool in the tropical heat. Never had any blisters when using them. Sadly though, the outsole of one shoe cracked which just baffles me since the sole is not even half worn out. I have another pair which I bought 18 years ago and are immaculately intact till today. I would like to buy another pair but I will have to fly to Hong Kong do to so. i love these shoes.

   I have to agree with one of the previous reviewers about the drop in quality. I have a pair of perfect boots that I bought about 8 years ago, also called Track something (I get a bit lost witht he I's and II's and IV's). On the old pair the leather was thicker and also tougher; stronger, than on my current pair. I had been recommending Ecco boots to everyone I met walking, but I can't do that any more. It's such a shame that a product that is practical and so comfortable and well made becomes worse when attacked by the style police or the cost-cutters. The sole wore out on the old pair but that was because I used the boots so much. Also much of the comfort of the boots was due to the particular properties of the sole, and if it wore out because that was what it was like then so be it! I'd have bought another pair the same just like that but I couldn't find a pair and Ecco say that the old sole was a problem because it wore out. I think it was a great product with a sole that had a finite life - simple as that. I also don't like the mixture of leathers and too many seams on many of the new offerings. Cleaning on plain leather is quick and easy; not any more. The old pair had a one-piece solution to the front and sides of the boot, and the leather also went up and inside the top of the boot. The design around the ... hole where one puts one's foot in... was much stronger because of this. Incidentally I had to order a pair specially into the UK to get boots that were at least all smooth leather and not this funny mixture of smooth and furry. What's the point of that? I don't think the new pair will last anything like as long as the old pair, and when these wear out I will have a problem that I hoped never to have having discovered Ecco boots; I'll have to shop around and I hate doing that. I'm also sorry to be doing Ecco down because I loved my old boots so much... I just hope that someone sees this and that they go back to making the best again.

   Have bought 6 pairs of Track II boots over the last 6 years. Very comfortable and generally well-made uppers. Soles have suddenly and rapidly crumbled–or just plain disintegrated away on 3 pairs of these after very little use (2 month's worth). Nordstrom of Seattle kindly replaced 1 pair (after just over a year–excellent customer service!), and mentioned that this was not uncommon on this type of ECCO footwear. Have written to ECCO Customer Service about this problem, but they were as unhelpful as Nordstrom had been of service. It was indeed surprising to receive such illogical and inconsequential replies from a company that I thought knew how to make and market a good product; they refused to consider that their might be any inconsistencies with the quality of the soles on these boots despite evidence to the contrary on quite a few webistes. This is not what I would expect from a company which advertises itself by referring to how ECCO products are:… ‘Rugged and flexible…ECCO shoes are designed to fit and perform… strength, water-repellence flexibility, shock-absorption – a lot has to be right in an ECCO…’. Time to give Mephisto a trial; no more recommendations for ECCO; comfortable and well made uppers, but inconsistent quality of soles–and customer relations–is a downer.

   These shoes have lasted me two years of continuous (virtually daily) use & they have been most exceptionally comfortable. They are very difficult to clean because of the texture of the leather & my perceived lack of availability of an appropriate cleaning product ( & inability to avoid spilling drops of powerful woodwork glue on them). The leather split from the sole fairly early on at the points where most flex occurs & the stitching wore out at the same area, this means I have to restitch them every so often. Dean Wilson mentions the lack of a leather capping over the moccasin stitching, perhaps that would improve the durability of the seam. I still think that they are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned & hope that their replacements will come up to the same standard of comfort with an improvement in durability.

   I have written to ECCO in Denmark today explaining that the soles of my TRAKS are crumbling and disentegrating.I believe this is caused by poor compounding /processing or manufacturing of the product. I have used the shoes for walking and not climbing.They have been the most comfortable shoes I have ever had.I am hopeing that ECCO replace them free of charge or provide full compensation.I am aware of Mr g Alexander of Wivenhoe's comments. I am pleased that there is an opportunity for customers to air their comments.

   Dear Ecco, I have read a lot of negative comments on your trade mark products, namely the Track II and Track IV. Specifically, the problem lies with the sole. I have got a pair of Track IV, and regrettably, the sole really wore out after a short while, just as what other customers in different parts of the world had commented. My question is: Has ecco looked into the problems, and have you done anything to rectify the problems? Please let us know. Thank you.

   I have been wearing my tracks constantly for about 2 months and I must say that it is easily the most cofortable shoe/boot that I have ever owned. My only concern is the ability to keep them clean and good looking. However I know someone in the biz of shoes who has had his for 3-4 years and the sole is still in great shape. I also love the look because i wear a lot of khakis and jeans and they suit my look very well
