This is the best sandal I've ever owned. It was worth the original price of around $160, so the sale price makes it even more of a great deal. The Vibram sole is not something you see on many sandals, so having it on the Bhutan adds an extra level of usability...you can really hike in this one! Too bad Ecco is not making this excellent sandal any more. Their newer models don't seem to be as all-around great as this one. A second pair may be in order...
