4. Manteniment

Proper care extends the life and performance of your ECCO hiking boots.

1. Neteja:
   • Remove loose dirt with a soft brush.
   • Wipe the synthetic and mesh areas with a damp tela.

   • Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources.
2. GORE-TEX Care:

   To maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of the GORE-TEX membrane, ensure the outer material is clean. If water no longer beads on the surface, consider applying a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment suitable for GORE-TEX footwear.

5. Solució De Problemes

If you encounter issues with your ECCO Xpedition III boots, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Issue: Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX.

  Solució: Ensure the outer material is clean and the DWR treatment is intact. If the DWR has worn off, water can saturate the outer fabric, reducing breathability and making the boot feel wet inside, even if the GORE-TEX membrane is still waterproof. Reapply DWR if necessary. Also, check for proper lacing and fit; a loose fit can allow water entry from the top.

• Issue: Discomfort or pressure points.

  Solució: Re-evaluate your lacing technique. Experiment with different lacing patterns to relieve pressure. Ensure you are wearing appropriate hiking socks. If discomfort persists, the boot size or width may not be ideal for your foot shape.
• Issue: Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.

  Solució: Inspect the outsole for excessive wear. While the rubber outsole is designed for excellent grip, prolonged use on abrasive surfaces can reduce tread depth. Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be compromising traction.
