4. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your ECCO Touch 15 Chelsea Boots. The boots are crafted from either full-grain leather or suede.
General Care Instructions:
- Cleaning:
- For leather boots, wipe clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt. Use a leather cleaner and conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking.
- For suede boots, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede cleaner. Avoid excessive moisture.
- Drying: If boots become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the material.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain protector suitable for the boot's material (leather or suede) before first wear and reapply regularly.
- Storage: Store boots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.

5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common concerns users may encounter with their ECCO Touch 15 Chelsea Boots.
- Fit Issues (Too Narrow/Too Big):
If the boots feel too narrow, consider wearing them with thinner socks or using a shoe stretcher. If they feel too big, thicker socks or insoles may improve the fit. Always refer to the size guide before purchase.
- Noise on Smooth Surfaces:
The synthetic sole is designed for grip. On very smooth, polished surfaces (e.g., commercial epoxy or ceramic floors), the sole's grip might create a slight noise. This is a characteristic of the sole material and not a defect. It typically does not occur on carpeted or textured surfaces.
- Leather/Suede Appearance Changes:
Natural leather and suede can develop creases or change in texture over time with wear. This is normal and part of the material's character. Regular cleaning and conditioning (for leather) or brushing (for suede) can help maintain its appearance.
