I continue to have 5 or 6 pair of ECCO's in my closet and use frequently. I have now had 3 pair that have the soles break down and break apart. I have almost fallen because so much of the heel part on left usually just falls apart gradually as I am walking. Your shoes are of such high quality I continue to be disappointed and dismayed that I can do longer wear the shoes. I now am seeking advice on #3 failure which is a black primo sandal #[protected]. Do you have a time period of wearablity or sturdyness of your shoes? I am greatly disturbed and almost afraid to wear those I still have. I do not want to fall or trip because of failure of the soles. Thank you for listening. I am an honest person and like quality products. Joy A. Habib [protected]@aol.com or [protected]
