I have a pair of these sandals in black that I bought a few years ago. At that time, I wanted another pair in the silvery tone, but it wasn't available in my size. I was thrilled when I found these on Amazon and ordered a pair. I have to say they just don't feel the same. The footbed is different and isn't breathable- in other words the sandals make my feet perspire. The older pair is perfect... these, not so much. I like the way they look, but the footbed makes you feel like you're walking in rubber crocks. I'm disappointed. Perhaps they are not actually authentic, Ecco sandals.
