Choose a dedicated outdoor shoe or boot for trails and wet ground, a flexible trainer for active travel and a leather casual shoe for office-to-weekend wear. ECCO's comfort-focused construction appears across categories, but sole grip, upper protection and waterproofing vary. Match the model to the surface and duration rather than buying solely by brand.

BIOM refers to ECCO's approach to anatomical movement and a lower, more natural foot position in relevant models. It does not mean every BIOM shoe has the same cushioning, width or terrain capability. Compare the individual outsole, upper and intended activity, particularly when choosing between a road-oriented trainer and an outdoor BIOM model.

ECCO products are often labelled in EU sizes, sometimes spanning a size range depending on the model. Use the current ECCO conversion chart and measure the longer foot, then check Avenue 85's product-specific size information. Do not assume the same EU number fits identically in sandals, formal shoes and padded walking boots.

No. Only models explicitly described as waterproof, often with a named membrane or waterproof construction, are designed for wet conditions. Treated leather can resist light moisture but seams and openings still matter. For regular rain or trails, choose a stated waterproof model; for warm travel, a more breathable non-waterproof shoe may be preferable.

Identify whether the upper is smooth leather, nubuck or suede, then use a cleaner and protector intended for that material. Remove dry dirt first, avoid soaking, and let footwear dry naturally away from direct heat. A cream suitable for smooth leather can condition it, but ordinary polish may darken or flatten nubuck and suede.
