I purchased a pair of lightweight ECCO sneakers in September 2015 for the occasional wearing on holiday.
They cannot have been worn for more than 15 evenings in total.
Having just returned from holiday & about to clean them before putting them away I noticed the soles have cracked in four separate places, making the shoes unwearable.
My wife, plus my sister in law have also had several pairs of ECCO lace up shoes & for no apparent reason the soles have disintegrated.
None of us will be buying any ECCO products in the future.
