I purchased these after reading reviews on the best walking sandals, which named ECCO as one of the best. I chose these because I liked the style, and they seemed more fashionable than other walking sandals. They are worth every penny! I wore these for 3 days of walking all over New York City and not a sore foot or blister after at least 10 miles of walking. I also got so many compliments on them. Zero regrets with these shoes. I bought the warm grey/neutral ones and they are very versatile.
