ECCO

ECCO shoes generally fit true to size, with a comfortable, roomy feel through the toe box. Many styles come in more than one width. Check the sizing notes on each product page, and try a half size up if you are between sizes or have wider feet.

Many ECCO styles are designed with walking in mind, using cushioned footbeds and flexible soles that move with your foot. For long walks, choose a supportive sneaker or outdoor style, and wear them in gradually so your feet can adjust to the new shoes.

Brush off dirt, then wipe with a damp cloth and let the leather dry naturally. Use a leather conditioner now and then to keep it supple, and a waterproofing spray if the style allows it. Keep your shoes away from heaters and direct sun.

You can, though most people wear them barefoot in summer. If you want socks for cooler weather, choose thin, soft pairs that sit under the straps without bunching. Check there is still room across the foot, as thicker socks can feel tight.
