Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
- Lacing: Upon receiving your ECCO Soft 2.0 Trainers, unlace them fully. Insert your foot and adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure your heel is seated correctly in the back of the shoe.
- First Wear: Wear your new trainers for short periods initially to allow the leather to naturally conform to your foot shape. Although the leather is soft, a brief break-in helps.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for casual, everyday wear and pair well with a variety of outfits, from jeans and casual trousers to skirts. They are not intended for rigorous athletic activities like running or intense sports but are perfect for walking, standing, and general daily use.
Care Instructions
Proper care is crucial for maintaining the quality and appearance of your leather ECCO Soft 2.0 Trainers.
- Cleaning the Leather Uppers:
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth immediately after wear.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner. Apply a small amount to a clean cloth and gently wipe the shoe. Follow the product instructions for best results.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
- Conditioning: To keep the leather supple and prevent cracking, apply a quality leather conditioner every few weeks or as needed, especially if the leather appears dry. This helps to moisturize and protect the material.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector spray designed for leather. This adds an invisible barrier against moisture and stains, making cleaning easier.
- Insole Care: The removable microfibre-covered inlay soles can be removed for airing to maintain freshness. If needed, gently wipe them with a damp cloth and allow them to air dry completely before placing them back in the shoes.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
