I bought these shoes because I had been very impressed with the
Ecco line of
sandals. I own 3 pairs of the
sandals and have enjoyed them over the years. One thing I like about the
sandals is that they are usually wide in the front part of the shoe and are aerodynamic with regard to fitting the foot contours. That isn't true for these Travelites. These shoes are true to what the sizing states: medium width. The only other con is that the
arch support could be a little better. It just seems that there must be an
Ecco tennis-shoe production team that is a little more generic than the
sandal production team. Other than that, these have several pros: mainly that they are lighter than my previous
tennis shoes; they are cooler on the feet since air passes through the mesh material; and the styling is about the best that I have seen in a black
tennis shoe. They look interesting.
