Full details
The ECCO ULT-TRN hiking shoes are designed for adult males seeking a modern, capable hiking boot. Their key benefit is the combination of robust performance features like superior grip and cushioning with a contemporary, lightweight design. A potential caveat is that while built for hiking, they may require a break-in period for optimal comfort on longer treks. These shoes feature a waterproof membrane, a Michelin rubber outsole for multidirectional grip, and a PHORENE™ midsole for responsive cushioning.

FAQs
Are the ECCO ULT-TRN shoes suitable for winter hiking?
The waterproof membrane provides protection against wet conditions, but these shoes are not insulated for extreme cold. They are best suited for three-season hiking (spring, summer, autumn) or milder winter conditions when paired with appropriate socks.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by ECCO or the retailer. Generally, you should measure your foot length and compare it to the corresponding UK size. Ensure there's enough room for thicker socks without the shoe feeling tight.
Can I machine wash these hiking shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather, the waterproof membrane, and the adhesives used in construction.
What is the main advantage of the PHORENE™ midsole?
The PHORENE™ midsole is designed to be ultra-lightweight and soft, providing excellent cushioning, flexibility, and a high degree of rebound for energy return, making your hikes more comfortable and less fatiguing.
How does the Michelin outsole improve grip?
The outsole features a unique tread pattern with multidirectional grooves and two distinct zones engineered by Michelin to provide superior grip, durability, and support on a variety of outdoor surfaces.
What type of leather is used in these shoes?
The shoes are made from a blend of oiled nubuck and nubuck leather, known for their durability and premium feel.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite the waterproof claim.
Ensure the waterproof membrane is intact and that water isn't entering through the shoe's opening. Check that laces are tied securely. If persistent, the membrane may be compromised, or the shoes may be saturated beyond their capacity.
Lack of grip on slippery surfaces.
Ensure the Michelin outsole is clean and free of mud or debris, which can impede traction. The grip is designed for natural surfaces; performance on highly polished or unnatural surfaces may vary.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.
This is common during the break-in period. Wear the shoes for progressively longer durations. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists in specific areas, consider insoles or professional fitting advice.
Leather appears dry or stiff.
Apply a specialized leather conditioner suitable for nubuck and oiled leathers to restore moisture and flexibility. Follow product instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ECCO ULT-TRN hiking shoes require no complex setup. They are ready to wear out of the box. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow them to break in and mold to your feet.
Compatibility: These shoes are designed for adult males and are suitable for hiking, trekking, and general outdoor activities. They are compatible with standard hiking socks.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe away loose dirt with a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather and waterproof membrane.
- Conditioning: Periodically treat the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to maintain its suppleness and prevent cracking. Ensure the conditioner is appropriate for oiled nubuck and nubuck leather.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
