Your complete guide to Ecco shoes in Turkey. Find out why styles like the Soft 7 and Biom Hybrid 3 are a hit with Turkish people looking for comfy, quality, European-style shoes. Here are my tips for getting the best Ecco shoes in Turkey.
Turkish folks really appreciate that Ecco uses top-notch leather and clever ways to make their shoes. They know a good, long-lasting, comfy shoe when they see one, and Ecco fits the bill.
Ecco’s Greatest Hits in Turkey
Ecco has loads of popular shoes here in Turkey. They seem to know what people want. Here are a few favorites:
Ecco Exostrike
I’ve seen a lot of people sporting these around. Great for running and training, they’ve got Ecco’s cushiest midsole, so they’re super comfy for pounding the pavement. They’re also pretty stylish – I even wear mine to the local kahve sometimes after my morning run.
Ecco Soft 7
These are everywhere! You see them in the bazaar, at the office, even at weddings. They’re smart enough for special occasions, but still comfortable enough for everyday wear. Stylish and comfy – that’s the Soft 7. I wear a pair and my wife got some last week in Beyoğlu!
Ecco Biom Hybrid 3
Golf is getting more popular here, and these shoes are leading the charge. They’re designed for top performance, but with that signature Ecco comfort. Saw a group sporting them at the Kemer Country Golf Club last week – looked pretty swish.
Where to Find Your Perfect Ecco
Ecco shoes are easy to find all over Turkey – over 160 stores! Here’s the lowdown on getting your own pair:
Buying Ecco Online – Easy Peasy
The Ecco Turkey website (https://tr.ecco.com/) is super convenient. I bought mine there just last week and was wearing them by Tuesday night. Here’s how it works:
Finding Your Dream Shoes
The website’s easy to navigate. They’ve got sections for men, women, kids, and even a sale section. Check the reviews – they’re always helpful.
Sizing – Getting It Right
Use their size guide. Ecco shoes can be a bit snug at first, but they’ll give a little after you wear them in. I went half a size up – worked perfectly.
Checkout – Smooth and Simple
Add your shoes to your cart, then checkout. You can create an account or just checkout as a guest. It’s pretty straightforward.
Payment and Delivery – No Stress
Delivery is free across Turkey. You can pay by credit or debit card. I got free standard delivery, but you can pay extra for express if you are in a rush.
Returns and Exchanges – Just in Case
You’ve got 100 days to return them if they don’t fit. Super easy.
Customer Service – They’re There to Help
You can call, email, or use the live chat on the website if you’ve got any questions.
Getting your Eccos online is so easy. Free returns mean there’s really no risk.
Ecco Stores Around Turkey
You’ll find Ecco stores in most shopping malls. Here are a few I’ve spotted:
- Istanbul: Mall of Istanbul, ÖzdilekPark, Forum Istanbul, and loads more! I’ve seen some pretty nifty little Ecco shops tucked away in districts in both the Asian and European side, sometimes with unique designs that you don’t see in bigger stores.
- Izmir: Izmir IstinyePark, Izmir Optimum, Izmir Novada Outlet. Was just in Izmir last month – popped into the IstinyePark store. Very helpful staff.
- Ankara: Ankamall. Heard they’ve got a great selection there.
- Antalya: TerraCity. Perfect for picking up a pair after a day at the beach.
- Samsun: Piazza. A friend from Samsun swears by this one.
The staff in these stores are usually really knowledgeable. They can help you find the perfect fit.
Ecco Prices in Turkey
Here’s a rough guide for Turkish Lira and USD (beware of currency change differences):

Top Tips for Buying Eccos
- Try them on in the store and walk around a bit. They need breaking in.
- Waterproof styles are great here – you never know when you’ll get a sudden downpour.
- Treat your leather shoes to keep them looking their best. I use a special leather protector I picked up in a little shop in Kapalı Çarşı.
- Register your shoes online for the warranty.
- Sign up for their emails – you’ll get notified about sales. Trust me – they exist!
- Outlet stores are great for deals.
