ECCO Sandals and Flip Flops for Women
ECCO footwear began in Denmark in 1963 by Karl Toosbuy. The company's line of women's sandals and flip flops focuses on simplicity and comfort. ECCO earned the seal of acceptance from the American Podiatric Medical Association.
What materials are used to make ECCO women's sandals?
- Uppers: ECCO sandals are crafted from leather, suede, and nubuck produced in the company's own tanneries. ECCO uses leather to produce its line of women's sandals and flip-flops. ECCO women's sandals are available in wedges or flats and come in colors like cream, white, brown, multicolored suede, and metallic gold.
- Outsoles: Lightweight molded footbeds with microfiber coverings create a custom-fit surface for the foot. The company manufactures the shoes using FluidForm technology, which involves injecting shock-absorbent foam into the outsoles. This bonds the outsoles to the upper, eliminating the need for stitches. It also results in a lighter midsole.
How are women's shoes and sandals made?
ECCO combines machine techniques with hand craftsmanship to manufacture its shoes, from the design stages until the product hits the stores. The stages are design, selecting the leather, tanning the leather, crafting the shoes, and finally direct injection of the outsoles. ECCO’s factories are in Thailand, China, Vietnam, Portugal, Indonesia, and Slovakia. The company also has tanning factories in the Netherlands, China, Indonesia, and Thailand.
What are some available sandal styles for women?
ECCO carries sandal styles that include the Damara, a flat sandal that features a classic gladiator-style ankle strap. They also have the Yucatan sandal, the Terra sandal, and the Felicia sandal. ECCO has flip-flops, slip-ons, sling-backs, and t-straps, too. Outsole styles vary as much as their uppers do. You'll find flats, wedges, and heels, as well as treads that can be used for light sports and trail hiking.
How do you take care of ECCO shoes and sandals?
ECCO designed a special line of care products to help you maintain the original look of your shoes.
- Cleaning: Use a soft clean cloth and a water-based cleaner to gently remove surface dirt from your shoes. Apply cleaner to uppers, including ankle, toe, and heel straps to maintain the originality of your ECCO shoes.
- Moisturizing: Apply a specially formulated leather cream to your shoes' surfaces to preserve moisture and prevent the leather from drying out.
- Protecting: Spray your sandals, flip-flops, and slip-ons with water-resistant stain repellent. Periodically applying stain repellent to your sandals can help ward off stains.
