Well, I do have two of them actually :-).
I bought this pair of shoes when I was pregnant with my second son. My husband freaked when he found out how much money I spent on them. Rightfully so, they were $160. But they felt so good. The whole pregnancy, I didn't have any back pain. Which is saying something since I worked over 60 hours a week...on my feet.
Here it is almost seven years later, and I still wear them daily. Last year my husband bit his words when he bought a pair of his own. ;-).

It took your husband seven years to catch on?!! *lol* Hope he enjoys them as much as you have.
Nice drawing of your shoe.
Great sketch on the shoe ... love the shading and all. I had a good laugh on the story. Thanks for sharing!
Thse shoes sound amzing - and you've done a beautiful job sketching them.
So the expensive shoes have actually turned out to be the most economical pair you've ever bought then! IMO ECCO are worth every penny you pay for them, I'm in a pair now.
Anyway, nice drawing - and journal entry.
Great job....
What a great sketch - it has such character. You obviosuly love your shoes and you've captured that beautifully.

LOL...yeah, and we are poor :-). He works nearly 70 hours a week, on his feet. So he went through shoes every 3 months. Last year, after income tax refund, I convinced him to try them out...It's been a year, and he is just now starting to get the tell tale back pain.
Thank you for your comment..
Platitudinal...(Sorry, I couldn't find your real name ;-).
Thank you so much...The funny thing is that I have never been a name brander...and the fact that these were so expensive, well I felt rather guilty at first.
I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)

The are so worn down now...but I just love the slip on an go aspect.
Thank you for commenting.
Sarah,
I would defiantly say so!...In this case. I have always been all about comfort. If they hurt my back, which most do...then off to Goodwill they go :-).
We could start our own little club ;-) ECCO Rules! LOL

Yes character, another way of saying ragged and tattered..LOL...because that is what they are now...but I love them because (and in-spite) of this.
Great sketch!
Hahah, wonderful drawing, but also, wonderful story! :) Hope he loves his shoes, too! :)
