ECCO footwear of Denmark was founded in 1963 by Karl Toosbuy, an entrepreneur who sold his car and house to start the company. His vision was to make the most comfortable walking shoes in the world. Since then, ECCO has given men, women, and kids’ of all ages the gift of comfortable feet. ECCO designers put a huge effort into creating shoes that not only keep you in fashion, but also cradle your feet in COMFORT (You'll be pleased to know that ECCO has earned the Seal of Acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association).
