Some Thoughts: Astonishing!! I've worn my ECCOs for two years and am going to retire my first pair, and go to the "extra" pair I ordered after wearing the first combination for two months. I'm ordering two added pair to put aside for later. I've had problems with finding shoes that fit forever! These are great! Just wish the foot pad pigment was a miniature darker, so the dirt would blend-in. I've had no problem with odor, thank goodness. Please don't stop making these sandals. It looks like a lot of people would be alive very cast down if you did. 'Wish you made a shoe for winter with the cork base. Keep up the good work!!!
