Top Toe Tips…

by ecco on May 15, 2012

Treat your Feet with ECCO Shoes

 

We are filled with hope that the summer will arrive, and even if we don’t have constant sunshine, us Brits get our toes out at even a glimpse of sunshine. So, ladies, it is essential that those toes and feet are kept in tip top condition.

Some handy Toe Tips to get you started:

1. Sounds simple…but keep your feet clean- wash them, no, scrub them daily!

2. Treat yourself!! Make sure you get a pedicure on a regular basis

3. Keep heels from cracking by applying intensive cream just before bed. AND you can pop on a pair of cotton socks to let the cream absorb deeper overnight

4. Always use actone free nail polish- it won’t stain or damage your nails

5. Remember to use toe seperators to perfect your nail varnish. Handy hint- if you don’t have seperators you can  use twisted tissue paper between your toes

For more handy hints, self pedicure methods and other ways to ‘pamper your paws’ visit again soon!

How about some interesting information to keep you going….

Here in Oxford, May Day (1st May) has been a celebrated event for over 500 years. It starts when the sun rises with the choir boys from Magdalen College singing a hymm from the top of Magdalen Tower and followed by festivities including Morris dancing and impromptu music giving a party atmosphere in the streets of Oxford. And we wanted to pass a little bit of the festivities on to you…!

Add a Splash of Colour this Summer

by ecco on April 24, 2012

Go Colour Crazy with ECCO Shoes

 

One of the seasonal trends for Spring/Summer is the colour pop trend. It can be seen anywhere and everywhere, and definitely brightens up the day. The key feature of this trend?! Well, you won’t only see colour in the main part of the shoe/piece of clothing, it appears throughout. Whether that is the stitching on the pockets or the hem of your trousers, or the lining/sole of a shoe the colour appears in ‘pops’ all over the item.

But for those who aren’t quite ready for a head to toe outfit of colour you can quite simply add it to your feet. Ecco Oxford have a huge variety of styles for this season that follows this trend completely. A bold ballet pump paired with a neutral outfit is simple yet striking. And with a few colourful add ons, such as a handbag or coloured sunglasses, you’ll fit right in.

The Ecco Cosmic ballet pump is perfect for adding that bit of colour without being too obvious- and its colour pop? The stitching on the insole. With choices of Melon, Mazarine Blue and Chilli Red there’s a colour for any style. This shoe will team perfectly with jeans, skirts, shorts and a top of any colour. But my favourite outfit choice would be pastel skinny jeans and a bright coloured vest top.

Another style available in either a lace up or a loafer style is the Ecco Spin. The colour pop in this style can be seen on the sole of the shoe, and on the inside around the heel. Available in a range of colour choices ranging from black with pink, melon with turquoise, burnt ochre with blue and fuchsia with yellow, this shoe is bang on trend not only in terms of colour but in terms of style too.

ECCO Mens Sandals

by ecco on April 20, 2012

A Sandal for every occassion

 

Although the weather seems to be staying true to the term ‘April Showers’, our customers are looking ahead and are very much interested in the sandal range that we have to offer.

We have plenty of options within the performance range with some traditional styles perfect for all terrain. Styles which are more open, or styles that provide an extra strap on the inside if you need that little extra support.

Perfect for everyday wear or for those light summer hikes; the performance sandals all have Receptor Technology. With either a PU or rubber outsole, these sandals provide unsurpassed grip and traction in any off-road situation.

Sticking with the traditional colours of mostly black or bison, it is fairly impossible to find a wardrobe combination that these sandals will not team with. Shorts, cut offs or jeans will all work.

Win Tickets to The BMW PGA at Wentworth

by ecco on April 19, 2012

Win With ECCO Oxford Golf*

 

The European Tour’s flagship event comes around once a year- and that time is fast approaching! Once up a time it was rotated amongst Britain’s finest courses- but in 1984 it returned to the ‘West Course’ at Wentworth and hasn’t left.

The BMW PGA tournament signals the arrival of championship golf to mainland Britain, and with it comes a fantastic buzz of anticipation and excitement in the club, and amongst the golfing community country wide.

Here at ECCO Oxford, we have been lucky enough to get our hands on a pair of tickets to all 4 days of the tournament for one luck person to win- the tournament is Thursday 24th- Sunday 27th May. And if that wasn’t good enough news, entering couldn’t be easier.

All we ask you to do is to tell us your favourite Golfer and why- click here to enter. Alternatively, you can leave a post on the blog below with your email address, name and entry. Competition closes on Wednesday 9th May 2012

Please note, the winner will be notified by the email address left on the entry form and the winner will be contacted on or after Wednesday 9th May 2012. Their name will be published on our website.

This year we are also proud to introduce the Golf Street Premier to our Range. A twist on the Golf Street style that has been a huge favourite since Freddie Couples wore it, the Premier has a leather lining and has individual detailing- for example the ladies has brogue detail on it.
