FAQs
How should I clean the leather on my ECCO Soft 2.0 shoes?
Gently wipe the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt. For more thorough cleaning, use a high-quality leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for smooth leather. Always test on a small, hidden area first.
Can the removable insoles be washed?
The microfibre inlay soles can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry completely before placing them back in the shoes. Do not machine wash or tumble dry them.
Are these shoes suitable for all-day wear?
Yes, the ECCO Soft 2.0 shoes are designed with extreme comfort in mind, featuring breathable lining and a supportive insole, making them ideal for prolonged wear throughout the day.
What does 'chrome-free process' mean for the leather?
The 'chrome-free process' indicates that the leather is tanned using methods that do not involve chromium, a common tanning agent. This approach is generally more environmentally friendly and can result in softer leather.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these shoes are made from leather and are not designed to be waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to water should be avoided. We recommend treating them with a suitable water-repellent spray for added protection.
Do these shoes run true to size?
ECCO generally aims for a true-to-size fit. However, foot shapes vary. We recommend consulting ECCO's size guide or trying them on to ensure the best fit for your feet.
What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?
For optimal comfort and breathability, we recommend wearing socks made from moisture-wicking materials like cotton blends or specialized athletic socks. This will help maintain foot hygiene and enhance the shoe's breathable properties.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too snug or uncomfortable
Ensure you have the correct size. Leather shoes often soften and adapt to your foot with wear; allow a brief break-in period. Check if the removable insole can be adjusted or replaced for a better fit if needed.
Leather appears dull or stained
For general dullness, clean the leather with a soft, damp cloth and then apply a suitable leather conditioner. For stains, address them immediately with a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for the leather type. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.
Unpleasant odor from shoes
Remove the inlay soles and air them out regularly. You can also clean the insoles with a mild soap and water solution, ensuring they are completely dry before reinserting. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
While ECCO soles offer good traction, surfaces can vary. Exercise caution on wet or highly polished floors. The sole material may require a short period of wear to develop optimal grip.

Care
- Leather Uppers: Clean periodically with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use a high-quality leather cleaner and conditioner specifically designed for smooth leather. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
- Insoles: The removable microfibre inlay soles can be taken out and aired regularly to maintain freshness. If necessary, wipe them clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry completely before reinserting. Do not machine wash.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
