Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove your new ECCO Soft 2 Lace Trainers from their packaging.
- Lacing: Loosen the laces and slide your foot in. Adjust the laces to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure the laces are evenly tightened across your foot to avoid pressure points.
- First Wear: Wear your trainers around the house for a short period to allow the leather to begin molding to your foot shape.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for casual everyday wear. They pair well with a variety of outfits, including jeans, chinos, skirts, and dresses, making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe. They are suitable for light walking, daily commutes, and general leisure activities.
Care
Proper care will significantly extend the life and appearance of your leather trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe dirt and dust from the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner according to its instructions.
- Conditioning: Apply a good quality leather conditioner periodically (every 1-3 months, depending on wear) to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Protection: Consider using a leather protector spray, especially if you plan to wear them in varying weather conditions. This can help repel water and stains.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
