I have these in red patent, and they’re fabulous. Comfy straight out of the box, cute, and surprisingly versatile. These are great flats for going out in the city where you may have to walk a couple blocks. Smart with jeans, adorable with skirts.

I bought these in patent red about 6 months before I started really wearing them. It took me a few days to break them in and in the beginning stages it gave me maybe two blisters. But after that they’re really comfortable and I’ve worn them for probably a year now with no pain nor fuss. They look adorable with jeans and skirts. Awesome pair of shoes!

I bought a pair in Coffee Suede.True to the size, no blisters, or ANY discomfort – slippers, not shoes, I swear!
I usually buy designer brands ( Gucci, Prada,Chanel ),but Ecco Bouillion flat is fab!
Probably will get another pair it in a different color.

Okay… super cute, but,MISERABLE. The size is true as far as length but they HURT where the the shape material stops on the foot. I bought these to have a single pair of shoes to tour Europe…probably better off wearing my “Santana “stilettos to tour Rome. I am putting wet paper towels in shoes in hopes they will quit rubbing. They make your foot look small and ankles flattering… but OUCH! Amazon does not have a good return policy compared to Sierra Trading Post or other travel clothing sites and the shoes are expensive so I am in panic mode!! Hope they work for others as they are cute and obviously well made and true to size. Just not good for larger frames I guess.

For those who remember the old Eggo Waffle advertising slogan: “Le’go my Eggo!”, the title to this review may be a sign of my deeply seeded overprotective feelings toward the Bouillon Flat…Well, you are right (hangs head in false shame…). Despite the fact that I own this style in more colors then I am willing to admit, every day I struggle with the decision whether or not to actually wear the shoes outdoors…they just look so darn pretty in the closet! I believe that, in the Bouillon, Ecco has created THE PERFECT FLAT! If the feminine Ballet Flat and the comfy Sneaker had an offspring, the Bouillon is what it would look like…
FIT:
True EU sizing (my US 11 requires an EU 42); true to size and true to width; forgiving for a wider foot. Oddly enough, when I first put the shoe on, I felt I had made a big mistake: the shoe rubbed mercilessly in many places. Thankfully, I persevered; after a couple of hours the shoe molded onto my foot and became UBER comfy. Unlike with many ballet flats, there is ample toe coverage with an accommodating toe box.
MAKE:
Upper and lining are leather or suede. The materials wear VERY well. I have had the shoes for over a year now but they still look almost new. The shoe does not sweat. The sole is rubber. There is a brilliantly hidden heel (about one inch); invisible from the outside, allows for good balance. With its comfort, the entire structure of the sole reminds me of a sneaker, but with a purely feminine look of a ballet flat.
LOOK:
The picture does not do the shoe justice. The style slims the foot and ankle, while transcending fashion fads. Well padded, but never bulky, this shoe offers reasonable protection from the elements, without the masculinity of a loafer; it is comfortable, without the ruggedness of a sneaker; it is dainty, without the barely there support of a ballet flat. The red color in particular is a sight to behold, though all the colors add something to an outfit, be it jeans, skirts, or suits.
While I highly recommend this style for all the above reasons, please remember: in the case of the Bouillon, ownership can easily turn to addiction…Buy at own risk!
