The ECCO Primo Sandal, although classic in design, incorporates the latest, most advanced, ECCO patented technology. The result is a ladies sandal which promises to not only lead the market in comfort but also innovate summer footwear - ECCO Primo is a summer sandal that can be worn with orthotics.

ECCO Primo, which is part of the Spring/Summer 2005 collection, has a number of key features. It has three adjustable front straps to adapt to the individual shape of the foot; adjustable rear straps to provide support and comfort for the foot by enabling the foot to settle back into the shoe; a ‘shock point’ in the heel to protect the back, knees and hips against powerful shocks and a removable cork/PU foot-bed, which can be replaced with orthotics.

Rita Walker, Head of Marketing, ECCO UK adds:

“ECCO Primo is a very exciting new collection from ECCO. We saw a market need for a classic summer sandal which could be worn with orthotics. And we responded to this by using our experience in designing leading comfort-enhanced footwear to create ECCO Primo.

Caring for your ECCO shoes

Smooth Leather

• Wipe over with a damp cloth to remove any surface dirt.


• Leave to dry naturally away from direct heat – inserting newspaper helps absorb extra moisture.


• Polish with shoe creams or lightwaxes.

Nubuck

• If wet allow to dry naturally (as with smooth leather).


• Brush with a soft rubber brush or firm Sponge block to remove dirt and dust, as well as to restore the nap.


• Spray with a clear, non-silicone protector spray (ideally this should be done before the initial wear and every 2-3 weeks after that).


• If shoes have oil or grease stains a hard velour block can help to remove some but not all of these.

Oiled Nubuck & Leather

• If wet allow to dry naturally (as with smooth leather).


• Wipe over with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt.


• Brush occasionally with a firm sponge block to remove any surface marks.


• Re-oil with oiled nubuck products or light waxes.

Gore-tex

• Follow care instructions for smooth leather or oiled nubuck depending on the finish of the upper.


• Avoid heavy waxes or dubbin as these can reduce the breathability of the shoe.


• 100% wool socks are not to be recommended as they trap moisture around the foot reducing the breathability of the shoe. A blend of wool (max 40%) and man-made materials is best for comfort and breathability.
