(More customer reviews)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... The Bouillon Flat is precisely the same shoe as the Bouillon Coto and the Bouillon Buckle Slip On. The only difference is the decoration. The Flat has a studded strip of leather as a decoration. The Coto has a button, and the Slip on a buckle. I think the Bouillon Coto is the most feminine of the three. However, I ADORE the Bouillon Flat in Chille Red. This red is different (with a bit of an orange hint to it) then the lipstick red in the other two styles.
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 patent. 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!
