Quality footwear manufacturer ECCO recently added to its selection in time for the summer, with one style being the 'Shape 35 Block Sandal.'

The elegant heels boast a versatile Rose Dust colorway, which allows them to be paired with virtually any seasonal outfit. A thick strap at the front holds the toes comfortably in place, while a thinner strap on the ankle allows them to be adjusted. This strap is attached to a solid backing, which is lined with a soft leather.

In addition to the soft leather material that lines the sandals, the Shape 35 Block Sandal provides optimum comfort due to its shock-absorbing ECCO FLUIDFORM Technology, which allows the soles to shape to the wearer's foot, while offering plenty of support throughout the day and night.
