Very "cool" shoe.

Cool as in impression/appearance and cool as in foot temperature (aerobic mesh - very key to happy feet).

I first bought a pair of the Atlantis' before I knew about these Savu's..I'm a fan of Ecco because of their intelligently-designed - meaning stylish, practical, durable and comfortable - shoes (and their Danish origin, as I have, ha-haa, saadan!) but felt like the Atlantis' I got were a bit of an Eccco knock-off.. with sort of a "cheaper" look and feel to them; wear-out-way-too-soon thin soles, sole cushioning too thin, a little-too-pointy-and-bent-in-the wrong-places and a-little-too-sharp, almost tacky - when compared to the Savu's - color scheme.

The Savu's feel more like a solid, durable, practical and thus, "real", shoe; thicker sole and cushioning; and less flashy color contrast (even though I love Blue (any shade) & Silver together, always, it's a little toned down on the Savu's with a lighter blue (which is excellent) and with duller silver reflectors...I would buy the color combo of the Atlantis' - which is a dark blue and more reflective silver - in the Savu design, now...both are good-lookin' (as Danish ladies are, don't ya know, oh behave)

Point: the Savu's are go-in-the-water ready, so they say, not so said about the Atlantis'...

I recognize that the Atlantis' were/are designed to be a jogger's shoe and the Savu's, a, maybe, light hiker or, how 'bout, a more "everyday" shoe. They are calling/classifying it (Savu) as, a "sneaker" and, well I don't see Atlantis' type name, but perhaps this, what I would call "jogger", is designed to be light-weight (hence the thinner sole?) but, I dunno, seems backwards to me...

Train in a heavier shoe and then compete with a lighter weight shoe (like swinging the baseball bat with the metal donut on it before going up to the plate. And then, when you step up to knock the he** outta that ball- without the donut - the bat seems lighter...) but whatever..I'm not a jogger. Too hard on our body's cells, in my opinion..

I want a thick sole and thick cushion. The Savu's got it...kinda...I'd like thicker soles and cushioning, but they're very good.

So I recommend Ecco shoes in general,

the Savu over the Atlantis in specificity and

being increasingly peaceful, happy and successful WITHIN.

Go happy feet go feat happy go

I giv'em an A-minus (only because perfection doesn't exist)

I bought these shoes to jog along the edges of the Pacific Ocean of California. They are meant to be worn barefoot in the water so you do not need to fear them getting wet. The upper mesh allows water to flow in as well as out of the shoe. They are also very light and comfortable.

They are so comfortable, I have began to use these as a casual shoe to go grocery shopping and run regular errands. I can slip these in and out as easy as any shoe without the need to wear a sock (I like being barefoot for some reason).

As with all Ecco shoes, these shoes are made of high quality materials.

If you want to have a ultra casual shoe with lot of comfort which you can wear without socks in lieu of sandals or a slippers, then these shoes are definitely worth a consideration.

EXCELLENT SHOES VERY COMFORTABLE AND COOL FOR THE SUMMER ALSO LOVE THE EASY METHOD OF TYING THE SHOES.
