Ecco Gruuv men's casual trainers in white leather

These Ecco Gruuv white trainers for men are clean-lined casual sneakers built for everyday wear: a smooth white upper, a chunky sole and a sporty shape that never looks overdone.

Materials and design

The upper is smooth white leather with subtle stitching along the sides. The tongue and lacing area are made from perforated mesh to let your foot breathe, while a grey panel at the heel breaks up the white and adds a slightly technical feel. There's a pull tab at the back to help you slip them on without fighting the heel.

Sole and walking feel

The sole is the real talking point: a tall white unit with deep grooves running all the way round, and a black tread of square lugs underneath. The segmented design gives the shoe a sturdy look and a broad, stable base, which suits walking around town, strolling along the seafront or long days on your feet.

Fit

They fasten with slim laces threaded through fabric loops, with a small keeper in the middle of the tongue to hold them in place. The padded collar keeps your heel snug without rubbing, and the insole carries the Ecco logo.

How to wear them

Plain white goes with almost everything: jeans, stone or navy chinos, shorts in summer and joggers at the weekend. Pair them with a linen shirt or a polo for a smart-casual look that still feels comfortable. To keep them bright, wipe them with a damp cloth after wear and treat them now and then with a smooth-leather care product.
