I ordered these shoes from Amazon which I am always hesitant to do since you can't try them on and I have bunions. I purchased them when the  new Teva's I had fell apart after only 3 days in Peru. So far I have found the Eccos very comfy, light weight but yet sturdy enough for my next trip (to East Africa). Do note however that they run large, I wear an 8 normally, I ordered the 8-8.5 and they fit like over-sized clown shoes! Luckily I sent those back and ordered the 7-7.5 and they fit like a charm. NO hassle with the exchange either, very easy and I am very pleased with this purchase.
