FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running long distances?
The Lacoste Power Serve trainers are primarily designed for court sports and dynamic training due to their emphasis on lateral stability and traction. While they offer good cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support or cushioning required for extended road running.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the Lacoste sizing chart or measure your foot from heel to toe. It is also advisable to check customer reviews for insights on fit, as some users find they run slightly large or small.
What does 'sustainable design' mean for these shoes?
It indicates the use of recycled materials, such as recycled polyester in the insole and lining. This approach aims to reduce environmental impact compared to using entirely virgin materials.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the adhesives, materials, and structure of the shoe. Hand clean using a damp cloth and mild soap as per the care instructions.
What is the approximate weight of a single trainer?
The approximate weight for a pair is 699 grams, meaning a single trainer is roughly 349.5 grams. This weight provides a balance of support and agility.
How does the synthetic leather reinforcement help?
The synthetic leather parts are strategically placed in the midfoot to provide extra support and stability, crucial for preventing excessive foot rolling during quick lateral movements on the court.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on court surfaces.
Clean the rubber outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure the court surface itself is clean.
Feet feel hot or sweaty during play.
Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict airflow. The mesh upper is designed for breathability, but extreme conditions may still lead to warmth.
Discomfort or rubbing after initial wear.
Allow a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Midsole feels too firm or not cushioned enough.
The EVA midsole provides a balance of cushioning and responsiveness. If more cushioning is desired, consider using aftermarket insoles specifically designed for enhanced comfort, ensuring they fit well within the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed for court sports and dynamic athletic training. While versatile, they are best suited for activities requiring lateral support and traction, such as tennis, badminton, or squash.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the mesh and synthetic leather areas with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap and water solution.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
