Setup and First Use
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the shoes from their packaging. Inspect them for any visible defects.
- Initial Fit Check: Try on both shoes to ensure a comfortable fit. Walk a few steps to assess the feel.
- Adjusting Insole: If you require a wider fit or more toe room, the removable dual-fit insole can be taken out. Experiment with and without the insole to find your preferred comfort level.
- Break-in Period: Like many quality leather shoes, a short break-in period may be beneficial for optimal comfort and to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your ECCO ST.1 Hybrid shoes. As they are made of leather, specific care is recommended.
- Regular Cleaning: Wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
- Protection: Use a water and stain repellent spray designed for leather to protect against moisture and spills.
- Drying: If shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
ECCO recommends its 3-step shoe care program for optimal protection and longevity of your leather footwear.
