FAQs
How do I clean my ECCO Soft 2.0 leather shoes?
Wipe dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner. Always condition the leather afterward to keep it supple and protected. Air dry completely.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the microfibre-covered inlay soles are removable. This allows for better air circulation, easy cleaning, and the option to insert custom orthotics.
What is ECFS technology?
ECFS stands for ECCO Comfort Fibre System. It's designed to promote air circulation within the shoe, creating a cooler, drier, and more hygienic environment for your feet, enhancing overall comfort.
What does 'chrome-free process' mean for the leather?
The chrome-free process refers to a tanning method that avoids the use of chromium, a heavy metal traditionally used in leather production. This makes the leather production more environmentally friendly and often results in softer leather.
Are these shoes suitable for all weather conditions?
While the leather is high-quality, these shoes are not inherently waterproof. They are best suited for dry to moderately damp conditions. For wet weather, consider applying a leather-specific water repellent spray.
Can I wear these shoes with socks?
Yes, you can comfortably wear these shoes with or without socks, depending on your preference and the weather. The breathable textile lining and ECFS technology help manage moisture either way.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dry or cracked.
Regularly clean and condition the leather with a high-quality leather conditioner. Ensure shoes are not stored in excessively dry or hot environments.
Shoes develop an unpleasant odor.
Remove the insoles and air them out. Clean the insoles with a mild soap and water solution if necessary, and ensure they are completely dry before reinserting. Use shoe deodorizers if the problem persists.
Discomfort after prolonged wear.
Ensure you have the correct size. The removable ECFS inlay sole can be replaced with custom orthotics if additional support or cushioning is needed for your specific foot type. Allow for a short break-in period if new.
Scuffs or minor marks on the leather.
For light scuffs, use a clean, soft cloth to gently rub the affected area. For deeper marks, a leather repair balm or polish in a matching color may be used, following the product's instructions carefully.

Care
As the uppers are made from rich leather, proper care is crucial for longevity:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a specialized leather cleaner appropriate for the leather type. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. This is especially important for chrome-free tanned leather.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector spray designed for leather shoes. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning.
- Drying: If shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
- Insole Care: The removable microfibre-covered inlay sole can be taken out and aired periodically to keep the interior fresh. If needed, gently wipe it clean with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
