FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for custom orthotics?

What activities are these shoes best for?
These are `lace-up walking shoes` rooted in ECCO's heritage. They are ideal for daily wear, casual walking, errands, and any activity requiring prolonged standing due to their exceptional comfort and support. They are not designed for high-impact sports.
How do I clean the leather uppers?
For the `premium full-grain leather` uppers, wipe with a damp cloth for light dirt. For deeper cleaning and conditioning, use ECCO-approved leather care products or other high-quality leather cleaners and conditioners. Always allow them to air dry away from direct heat.
Is the fit true to size?
ECCO shoes are generally known for a consistent fit. However, due to the `adaptable design` with full front adjustment, you can customize the fit. We recommend trying your usual size and adjusting the laces for optimal comfort.
What makes them 'chiropodist recommended'?
The ECCO Soft 2.0 is recommended by chiropodists globally due to its `soft, accommodating shape`, `adaptable design`, and `removable insole` which supports foot health and allows for personalized orthopedic solutions, contributing to overall foot comfort and well-being.
Are these shoes lightweight?
Yes, one of their key characteristics is their `lightness and flexibility`, provided by the `direct-injected, one-component PU sole`, making them comfortable for all-day wear.
What is ECFS™ technology?
ECFS™ (ECCO Comfort Fibre System) is integrated into the `removable microfibre-covered inlay sole`. It helps to create a comfortable, cool, and hygienic environment inside the shoe by promoting air circulation and wicking away moisture.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose despite lacing.
Ensure you are using the correct shoe size. The ECCO Soft 2.0 allows full adjustment across the front; try re-lacing from the bottom up, ensuring even tension across all eyelets. If wearing custom orthotics, ensure they are properly seated and not causing excess bulk. Consider wearing them for short periods to allow the leather to adapt to your foot.
Feet feel warm or sweaty.
The `textile lining` and `ECFS™ technology` are designed for breathability. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks (e.g., moisture-wicking materials). If insoles are damp, remove them to air dry. For persistent issues, clean the inside of the shoe and allow it to air out thoroughly.
Leather looks dull or dry.
The `premium full-grain leather` benefits from regular care. Clean the shoes with a damp cloth, then apply a suitable leather conditioner or cream to restore moisture and shine. Use a water and stain protector for ongoing protection.
