'These are so comfortable': The sandals every jet-setter and hiker is wearing this summer - and they say they're the best they've ever owned
A pair of lightweight sandals are being hailed the most comfortable shoe of the summer - and they're a winner among hikers and travellers.
Shoppers looking for sandals to help them rack up 10,000 steps a day this summer are being recommended the ECCO Offroad sandals time and time again. Functional yet fashionable, the supportive sandal has been designed to carry you through various terrain - whether that's exploring European cobbles streets or mountains.
The £100 lightweight hiking sandals that travellers love could be your ticket to blister-free walks this summer.
Tested over hundreds of miles and across various terrain by jet-setting shoppers, the ECCO Offroad sandals have come up trumps by those looking for comfortable sandals that are up to a challenge.
Lightweight and supportive, the Offroad sandal range promises superior comfort, whether that's everyday walking or comfort on longer trails. And with a choice of 12 colours, it's no wonder why shoppers are coming back for more.
Finding a pair of sandals that won't rub throughout the day is no easy feat, particularly when you don't have time to rush back and change your footwear. But Danish brand ECCO seems to have cracked it, and it has racked up a loyal list of fans.
Sleek Danish design combined with comfort orientated features and benefits has meant the ECCO Offroad sandals are continuously being toted as some of the most comfortable sandals out there.
'Extremely comfortable, stylish, hard wearing,' raved one shopper. 'Wouldn't be without a pair of these sandals.'
This is all thanks to its function forward design. Far from your bog-standard, often thin-soled sandal, these have been created with a moulded EVA footbed for supreme cushioning and superior stability so can deal with hillside walks and city streets alike.
'These are so comfortable,' agreed another. 'I find them my first choice to wear, even if not on an 'walk'. I wore them for the first time on an 12 km walk, with no problem. The soles are thick enough to protect against uneven paths, and I like the look.'
This 'look' is part of the 'gorpcore' trend, which embraces the technical elements of a hiking, climbing aesthetic but with a fashion twist.
The ECCO Offroad has a chunky design with grippy sole that embodies the revival of 'dad' and 'gorpcore' sandals and has gone on to be widely celebrated for their retro, pragmatic appeal.
If you want to navigate summer with a high step count, then scores have given these their seal of approval.
'Perfect for long walks and travel, they are comfortable from the first time,' added one shopper. 'A durable supporting sole and good range of strap adjustment. I like the colour range and may consider a second pair'.
