Product Information
Full details
The ECCO Exostride trainers are designed for active adults seeking a breathable, waterproof, and supportive shoe for everyday wear and light athletic activities. Their key benefit lies in the combination of GORE-TEX technology for weather protection and an anatomical last for superior comfort and stability. A potential caveat for some users might be the specific fit, as anatomical lasts can feel different from traditional shoe designs.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ECCO Exostride trainers are designed for everyday wear, light athletic activities, and walking. While they offer excellent cushioning and support, they may not provide the specialized features required for competitive marathon running.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and there should be no pinching or excessive pressure points.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the GORE-TEX membrane. Hand clean according to the care instructions provided.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is engineered for durability. With proper care and regular cleaning, its waterproof and breathable properties should last for the expected lifespan of the shoe.
What is the advantage of the anatomical last?
An anatomical last is shaped to closely mimic the natural contours of the human foot. This design provides better support, enhances stability, and promotes a more natural gait compared to generic shoe lasts.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The anatomical last offers a supportive fit. While generally accommodating, individuals with significantly wide feet should try them on to ensure comfort, as the fit is designed around natural foot shape rather than an extra-wide specification.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure the shoe is properly laced to prevent water ingress. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane or seams. Clean the exterior thoroughly, as heavy dirt can sometimes impede breathability.
Discomfort or pressure points
The anatomical last may require a break-in period. Try wearing them for shorter durations initially. Ensure you have the correct size and width. If discomfort persists, consult a shoe fitting specialist.
Reduced breathability
Clean the shoes, especially the upper and any mesh panels, as dirt can block the pores. Ensure the inner lining is dry.
Soles feel stiff
The SHOCK THRU point and midsole are designed for support and shock absorption. While flexible, they may feel firmer than traditional EVA midsoles. Natural flexibility will increase with use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ECCO Exostride trainers require no specific setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.
Compatibility: These trainers are designed for adult use and are compatible with a wide range of foot shapes due to their anatomical last. They are suitable for general athletic and casual wear.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the synthetic textile and microfibre upper with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse with a clean cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials and GORE-TEX membrane.
- Waterproofing Maintenance: The GORE-TEX membrane is durable but can be affected by heavy soiling. Regular cleaning helps maintain its performance. Consider using a waterproofing spray suitable for technical footwear periodically if heavy water exposure is expected.
- Insoles: If removable, clean insoles separately with a damp cloth and allow them to dry completely before reinserting.
