Ecco has been making leather footwear and bags since 1963. The company was founded in Denmark by master craftsman Karl Toosbuy, who set out to produce more comfortable and durable shoes for his fellow countrymen. He managed to rent a small factory in the town of Bredebro and began working there with his apprentices. The result was Ecco footwear — combining comfort, tradition, and the famous Scandinavian design. These are products made from natural materials and in natural colors, which are just as relevant today as they were 56 years ago.
Where to Buy Ecco Shoes
Over more than 50 years of its existence, the company has opened many stores. Some of them can also be found in Russia. However, like all quality well-known brands, prices for products in the RF are very much inflated. On average, according to our estimates, by 20-30% compared to the official Ecco website in the USA. That is, instead of buying one pair of shoes in a Moscow boutique, you can get about two of the same in America. And that's not all: in the States there are still discount sites where shoes and clothes are sold much cheaper. As a result, the savings on each pair of boots comes to 10 thousand rubles, or even more.
Specific examples will come a bit later, but for now here is a list of sites where you can buy Ecco shoes without any problems:
- Zappos.com. The main platform for selling any shoes in the USA. Large selection, the best customer support in the world (!) (up to being able to return an item after a year if it simply didn’t fit). But there are almost no discounts.
- Amazon.com. The largest and most famous online store in the world. You’ll find everything here. And, of course, Ecco shoes are here too. In fact, there are even more of them here than on the official Ecco store website, because models from old collections that the company itself decided not to renew are also sold here. There are often good discounts (5-20%).
- 6PM.com. The main clearance store, Ecco shoes and accessories with 50-80% discounts. Minimum prices, free shipping to Prostobox.com warehouses when ordering from $50. True – the selection isn’t as large as in other stores. But it’s still hundreds and hundreds of items,
- US.Ecco.com. The official Ecco online store. Large selection, including among handbags, belts and other accessories. On your first visit we especially recommend checking out the Sale section: you’ll always find several dozen items with 30-50% discounts. This brings additional savings of several thousand rubles.
What to Buy
American stores stand out for their wide variety of models and interesting colors. But the main reason to buy directly there is, of course, the price. Genuine leather is not cheap, but Russian stores add a hefty markup on it. Let's simply compare the cost of the same Ecco items in the US and in Russia.
- Boots Ecco Soft 7 Tred Boot. One of the more modern models based on the old and proven concept. An ideal choice for winter. In Russia on Ecco-Shoes they cost 12 990 rubles. At 6PM – $132 (8580) rubles. By the way, the even newer Ecco Soft 8 are still not sold in Russia, while in America they are already available even on discounter sites.
- Women's sneakers Ecco Soft 7 Fashion. In Russia – 10 990 rubles, on Amazon – $95 (6200 rubles). 4790 rubles saved. Moreover, smaller sizes in America can be found even cheaper, from $69 (follow the link).
- Ankle boots Ecco Biom 2GO. In Russia they cost 12 990 rubles. On the Ecco US site they are sold for $169 (10 985 rubles). Even with $800 delivery it still works out to about a thousand rubles saved.
- Handbag Ecco Ella. In Russia – 24 990 rubles. In the US – $265 (17 250 rubles).
- Men's shoes Ecco Seattle. On Amazon – from $120 (7800 rubles), in Russian stores – from 13 490 rubles.
