I finally used all of my stockpiled pairs of Ecco Freewalkers and was overjoyed to see that Ecco finally released a shoe that was as good looking and as comfortable as the Freewalkers that are no longer in production.  These have superb leather exterior and the stitching and attention to detail is amazing both inside and out.  I purchase the brown color and these look great with jeans and khackis.  I wear these everywhere especially if I plan on walking a lot.  The footbeads and sole absorb a lot of shock and really protect my feet from discomfort.  The leather and sole are wearing very well and with the use of shoe trees these look and feel like I just got them new although I have now worn them for several months.  If you want a great pair of shoes that not only look stylish but make your feet feel great and energized, try these, you will not be disappointed.
