FIND YOUR SIZE

Your foot has soft curves, and we believe your footwear should too. That's why ECCO strives to ensure a natural fit, with shoes designed to follow the contours of your feet.

Follow these three easy steps:

  1. To measure your feet from heel to toe all you need is a piece of paper, a pen and a ruler.
  2. Draw a line in front of your longest toe and measure the distance between the edge of the paper and the line.
  3. Use this measurement in the slider below to find your ECCO shoe size.

Remember to measure both feet as they might be slightly different. Let the longest foot decide your shoe size.

Fit tip: Many styles have removable inlay soles for adjustments. Try one of our other inlay soles, which vary in thickness, to perfect your fit based on your needs.

FIND YOUR KID'S SIZE

At the rate children's feet grow, we suggest measuring them every 2-3 months. ECCO shoes follow the natural shape of your child's foot allowing growing toes the right amount of wiggle room.

Follow these three easy steps:

  1. Have your child stand barefoot on a sheet of paper. The edge of the paper and the back of their heel should be touching the wall.
  2. Draw a line in front of your child's longest toe and measure the distance between the edge of the paper and the line.
  3. Based on this measurement, use the slider below to find your child's current ECCO shoe size.

We recommend that you measure both feet as they might be slightly different. Let the longest foot decide your child's shoe size.

FAQs

Are GORE-TEX shoes really waterproof? ›

Guaranteed waterproof. GORE‑TEX SURROUND® Footwear All around breathability system for your feet.

Are GORE-TEX work boots worth it? ›

The breathable GORE-TEX fabric will maintain a cool temperature in summer, while the thermal insulating features will keep your warm during winter - making GORE-TEX Safety Boots ideal for year round wear.

What is special about GORE-TEX shoes? ›

GORE-TEX PERFORMANCE COMFORT

This type of membrane is 100% waterproof and has good breathability. The good breathability combined with the durability makes this type of membrane suitable for shoes for a little more demanding use, such as products in our categories for mountain, hiking and hunting.

Are GORE-TEX boots too hot? ›

Yes, they are. In hot summer conditions I wear boots without any kind of membrane. To "breathe" Goretex needs a noticeable lower temperature on the outside opposed to the inside temperature, which is not the case in summer. I wear rather light boots with a breathable upper.

What are the downsides of GORE-TEX? ›

The first disadvantage of Gore-Tex is that it does require maintenance to reap the full benefits of its waterproof properties. Over time and as you perspire in the jacket, substances can build up within the microporous membrane and reduce it's waterproof and breathability.

What's more waterproof than GORE-TEX? ›

Waterproofness - eVent wins, but it also depends on the details. In order for a material to be marked as waterproof, its water column should be higher than 10000mm. However, eVent and Gore-Tex avoided this number with a huge gap.

Why is Gore-Tex being discontinued? ›

After decades of work by environmental groups and health advocates, states and retailers are finally banning the sale of textiles that have been treated with the chemicals, which in the outdoor industry often manifest in the form of Gore-Tex membranes or “durable water repellent” treatments.

How long do goretex boots last? ›

Mine always have done, although after a few years the membrane tends to suffer wear and tear and become ineffective. My winter boots are 3 yrs old and still fine. My general boots are about 2yrs old, no problems. The ones I had before that, I had for about 5yrs before they started leaking significantly.

What is the difference between Gore-Tex and waterproof boots? ›

The central differences between GORE-TEX and normal waterproofs is the former's fabric reliability, versatility and broad range of uses. Everyday generic waterproofs are usually made from PVC, polyurethane, rubber or vinyl materials.

What socks to wear with GORE-TEX shoes? ›

How to wear. Depending on the socks you wear, the GORE-TEX membrane can be more efficient. As cotton socks store moisture, we recommend using wool or wool blend socks.

What is the alternative to GORE-TEX shoes? ›

The Best Alternative for Gore-Tex Waterproof Shoes: Vessi

This is why Vessi shoes are likely better suited for your needs. Firstly, all Vessi shoes are waterproof. But, unlike the Gore-Tex technology Vessi uses their patented Dyma-Tex and Dyma-Wool technologies for waterproofing.

Why is GORE-TEX so expensive? ›

While many factors account for the huge differences in price, the main one is the waterproof membrane fabric that's at the heart of each shell.

Are GORE-TEX boots 100% waterproof? ›

Admittedly, creek crossings, rain, snow and mud are likely the normal elements these products keep out, but the GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY® promise lived up to its namesake no matter what curve balls I threw its way. I can say with total confidence that the GORE-TEX membrane and GORE-TEX liners really are waterproof.

Why are my GORE-TEX shoes no longer waterproof? ›

GORE-TEX materials consist of a membrane with very small pores. If you put a shoe with a GORE-TEX finish in the washing machine, it can be destroyed and the shoe will no longer be waterproof.

Can GORE-TEX shoes get wet? ›

First of all, Gore-Tex is a completely waterproof barrier that blocks liquid water from passing through. So unless the Gore-Tex membrane has been punctured or damaged (see third point below), it will block water from entering the boot.

Is GORE-TEX truly waterproof? ›

Every product in the original GORE‑TEX products range is waterproof, windproof, and breathable and many come with additional benefits.

How long does GORE-TEX stay waterproof? ›

If your Gore-Tex clothing is properly cared for, it should remain waterproof for 3-5 years. It can easily last for ten years or more if you store it properly and don't wear it that much. Of course, with regular active use, friction and heat can cause the DWR to break down more quickly.
