2. Setup and First Use
2.1 Unboxing
Carefully remove the shoes from their packaging. Inspect them for any visible damage or manufacturing defects. Retain the packaging for potential returns or storage.
2.2 Trying On
Wear the shoes with the type of socks you typically use. Ensure a comfortable fit, with adequate space for your toes and no excessive pressure points. The padded collar should feel snug but not restrictive.
2.3 Lacing
The S Lite Hybrid features a four-eyelet lacing system. Lace the shoes securely, ensuring even tension across the instep. Avoid overtightening, which can cause discomfort, or leaving them too loose, which can lead to instability.

5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your ECCO S Lite Hybrid shoes.
5.1 Discomfort or Poor Fit
- Issue: Shoes feel too tight or too loose.
- Solution: Ensure you are wearing the correct size. Refer to the size guide in Section 6. Adjust lacing for optimal fit. Allow for a short break-in period, as leather can conform to your foot over time.
5.2 Scuff Marks
- Issue: Visible scuff marks on the leather.
- Solution: For minor scuffs, use a soft cloth and a small amount of leather care cream to gently buff the area. For deeper scuffs, professional leather repair may be required.
5.3 Odor
- Issue: Unpleasant odor developing inside the shoes.
- Solution: Allow shoes to air out between wears. Use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside overnight (remove before wearing). Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
