These sandals are the current (slightly sportier) version of a long-standing design by Ecco. I bought my original pair soon after they were introduced, when Ecco was relatively new to this country. They were the most comfortable sandals I had ever put on my feet, and fit perfectly. That was a while ago. My old pair finally wore out after many years, so I needed replacements. Buying a new pair during quarantine meant not being able to try on multiple different sandals. So, I took a chance and went with the current model of my trusted sandals. They are still great fitting sandals, and the Velcro closures still work wonderfully to make three different adjustments. The only drawback is the choice of material in the footbed. Whatever it is that they used as the final layer feels a little strange. Also, the footbed/sole is slightly harder. These are not big complaints, just the evolution of a brand as they move production around the world. No longer made exclusively in Denmark, these sandals come from the far East. Almost as good as the ones they replaced, I'll probably continue to be a fan.
