5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your ECCO leather sneakers.
5.1 Cleaning Leather Uppers
- Remove Loose Dirt: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away any surface dirt or dust.
- Clean: Apply a small amount of leather cleaner specifically designed for full-grain leather to a clean cloth. Gently rub the cleaner onto the leather in small circular motions.
- Wipe Off: Use a separate clean, damp cloth to wipe off any excess cleaner.
- Condition: Once dry, apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- Polish (Optional): For added shine, use a leather polish matching the shoe color.
5.2 Cleaning Soles
The PU/TPU outsole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the material.

5.3 Storage
- Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your ECCO sneakers, consider the following common solutions:
- Discomfort/Poor Fit: Re-check your size against the provided size guide. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly – not too tight, not too loose. Consider wearing appropriate socks.
- Squeaking: Sometimes new shoes may squeak. This often resolves with wear. If it persists, ensure the inlay sole is properly seated.
- Odor: The ECCO Comfort Fibre System is designed to reduce odor. If odor occurs, ensure shoes are aired out after each use. The removable inlay sole can be washed or replaced.
- Material Wear: Leather is a natural material and will show signs of wear over time. Regular cleaning and conditioning (as per Section 5) can minimize this.
