I bought the beach treker shoes last year for my trip and they worked just fine. I did use a blister stick the first few times I wore them to avoid blisters. I wore them for 6 weeks and they held up well. I bought the wrong color however and they got dirty looking quickly. The soles were great for cobbles and the trails of the CT.
This spring I have the sport sandal in the medium leather color. I hope they won't get too beat up looking. I am in the process of wearing them around the house to break them in really well as they do rub a bit. It's too cold to wear them out of the house.
I have found the Land's End products to be of great quality.
