I usually don't spend this much for sandals, but I needed comfort for a vacation that required a lot of walking. I saw several women on my last cruise, young and old wearing these Ecco's. I was told by one they are the most comfortable shoe ever and that they last up to 5 yrs or so. I wore them around home and loved them, and now just got back from that vacation that was the real test. Last time I was miserable and my poor feet were band-aided everywhere even though I kept changing shoes.  No problem this time, they were comfortable, sturdy and I have no complaints except I wish I had bought them a long time ago. My fit was true to size. Now I want another pair in brown. Highly recommend them.

Update, September 2013: 2 years later and still love these. They're in great shape, and are the best vacation shoe. I don't leave home without them. They are not pretty and feminine, but they are practical. They don't scuff easily, so they look decent enough. I don't wear them to go dancing or even out to dinner, but when you want to enjoy sight-seeing without your feet hurting you, can't beath these.
