Query: Ecco shoes over-rated

A few years ago I bought a pair of ECCO shoes similar to this one. They had rubber-like soles with an embedded oval containing the word ECCO. I wore them on a two-week trip around the eastern Mediterranean, and when I got home I found that the oval on both shoes had disappeared, leaving a big oval-shaped hole. The local shoe repairman said he could not resole ECCO shoes, so I sent it to the recommended repair depot, which resoled them with Vibram soles. I hardly ever wore them until this year on a two-week trip to Russia. Halfway through the trip, the sole partially separated from the shoe. I repaired it with duct tape to get through the rest of the trip.Given the problems I've had, I don't understand why ECCO shoes are so highly rated; from now on I will buy only Merrell shoes.
