![]() For cushioning and protecting the feet against bad odors, an EVA footbed has been incorporated. This means that the wearer does not have to worry if they accidentally step into a puddle or walk around in the rain. The lining is made of nylon and soft spandex, which are excellent at absorbing excess moisture and drying fast, for a comfortable stride. ![]() This enables the sandal to conform to each individual’s foot shape and offers stability and support in all the vital parts of the feet. The construction of the upper consists of three Velcro straps: one at the toes, another over the midfoot, and one at the heel, for maximum adjustability. ![]() This type of upper provides sufficient flexibility, as well as comfort for the wearer. The upper features an open-toe design and is made of a high-quality, durable nubuck leather that is stitched to the sole for an even longer lifespan. The EVA footbed is covered with a soft polyester-microfiber fabric for additional cushioning and protection against unpleasant odors. The sides of the footbed also go up, hugging the contour of the feet, further improving the stability of the feet by eliminating the possibility of the underfoot slipping inside the sandal. This design has a dual-density footbed, featuring the same material as the midsole for great arch support. The cushioned support does not stop there, however. This technology greatly improves the wearer’s overall performance, as well as stability on uneven surfaces, by enhancing the levels of responsiveness they have with the ground beneath them, ensuring that they are properly balanced at all times. The midsole together with the rubber outsole, make up Ecco’s patented Receptor technology. Other than the direct-inject polyurethane, the midsole also features a full-length EVA shank for support. This shock absorption really comes into focus when the Yucatan is being used for heavy-duty wear, like long-distance walking or hiking, as it protects the wearer from possible injuries, like ankle sprains, as well as provides a bouncy stride for effortless push-offs. The midsole is made of a direct-inject polyurethane, which is durable, yet lightweight, and has excellent shock absorption, especially in the heels. All in all, it provides a smooth heel to toe transition for an easy ride, no matter the terrain. Since it was designed to be an active-wear, many people choose to take it on hiking or traveling, as well as the beach, while there are others who prefer to wear them for long walks, due to its excellent comfort levels, as well as support. The forefoot area is rockered for more effortless toe-offs. It also features a heel break at the heel, as well as ridge-like grooves, which enable the wearer to have better control over their movements. This rubber material is not only going to hold up extremely well against wear and tear but has superb grip and traction that will keep its wearer firmly on the ground, be it concrete, sandy beaches or mountain trails, due to the many lugs found on the outsole. The material used to manufacture the outsole is a very durable, highly abrasion-resistant rubber. The Ecco Yucatan packs some serious heat with its durable, lightweight construction and it all starts with its outsole.
