This is my third pair of Ecco shoes and I love them. Wear them as casual shoes. I haven't worn sunglasses since I started wearing Ecco mosquito boots. They last for years. Fifteen years for the first two pairs. I wore the first pair to work and put foam insulation on top. Highly recommend if you like light and comfortable shoes. They don't need to be washed, just polished from time to time. I haven't torn a single seam.
