FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

Can I use my custom orthotics with these shoes?
Absolutely. The ECCO Soft 2.0 features a removable insole, making it very easy to insert your custom orthotics or preferred insoles for personalized support and comfort.
What is the heel height of these shoes?
The shoes are designed with a low wedge sole that has a comfortable 2cm heel, providing excellent shock absorption without being too high.
How should I clean the leather uppers?
For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner, applying it according to the product's instructions to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
Are these shoes waterproof?
While the leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, these shoes are not fully waterproof. For protection in wet conditions, it is recommended to apply a suitable leather protector spray.
Are these shoes comfortable for standing all day?
Yes, the ECCO Soft 2.0 is designed with comfort and support in mind, featuring soft leather, excellent shock absorption, and a supportive sole, making them highly suitable for individuals who spend long hours standing or walking.
What kind of material are the linings?

Troubleshooting
My feet feel too warm or sweaty.
Despite the breathable leather, sometimes feet can feel warm. Ensure you are wearing appropriate moisture-wicking socks. Remove the insoles periodically to air out the shoes, and consider using a foot powder to help manage moisture.
The laces frequently come undone.
If your laces are not staying tied, try using a double knot for added security. Over time, laces can wear down; replacing them with new, good-quality laces may resolve the issue.
I hear a slight squeaking sound when walking.
Squeaking can sometimes occur with new shoes as materials settle. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder inside the shoe, under where the insole sits. Ensure the insole is properly seated before walking.

Info needed: Specific waterproofing or weather resistance capabilities are not inherent without treatment.
The 2cm wedge might not be preferred by those who prefer a completely flat sole.
Lacing: Before your first wear, loosen the lace fastenings completely. Insert your foot, ensuring your heel is comfortably seated at the back of the shoe.
Adjust Fit: Begin tightening the laces from the toe upwards, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. The goal is to provide secure support without restricting blood flow or causing pressure points.
Initial Walk: Take a short walk to assess the fit and comfort. Readjust laces as needed. The soft leather will gently mold to your foot over time.
Compatibility
Orthotics: The ECCO Soft 2.0 features a removable insole, making it highly compatible with custom orthotics or other preferred insoles. Simply remove the existing insole and replace it with your own.
Socks: For optimal comfort and breathability, wear with quality socks made from natural fibers or moisture-wicking materials.
Care and Maintenance
Daily Cleaning: After each wear, wipe down the leather uppers with a soft, dry cloth to remove any surface dust or dirt.
Spot Cleaning: For light stains, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap (for leather) or a specialized leather cleaner. Apply gently in small circular motions.
Conditioning: Periodically, apply a high-quality leather conditioner. This helps to keep the leather supple, prevents cracking, and maintains its natural appearance. Follow the product instructions for application.
Protection: To enhance water and stain resistance, consider applying a universal leather protector spray, especially before wearing in potentially damp conditions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Drying: If your shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage and crack the leather.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
