Lacoste Elite Active Trainers - Brown - UK 9

The upper is a blend of 43% Polyester, 32% Leather, and 25% Polyurethane. The lining and insole are 100% Polyester, and the outsole is primarily Rubber and EVA with some Thermoplastic Polyurethane.

While they offer good cushioning and support for walking and casual activities, they are not designed as specialized running shoes. For intense athletic training, dedicated running footwear is recommended.

For the leather, use a soft brush to remove dry dirt, then a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of leather cleaner to a cloth and gently wipe. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and the overall structure of the shoe.

The Ortholite insole provides superior cushioning, breathability, and moisture management, helping to keep your feet comfortable and dry throughout the day.

The trainers are not waterproof. While some materials offer a degree of water resistance, they are not designed to withstand heavy rain or immersion in water. It's advisable to protect them with a suitable waterproofing spray.

'Elite Active' denotes the series name for these trainers, highlighting their blend of performance-oriented features with an active lifestyle design.

Ensure the laces are properly tied for a secure but not overly tight fit. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Check for any internal seams or tags that might be causing irritation.

This can occur with leather and mixed materials. Clean gently with a damp cloth. If specific to leather, use a leather conditioner to restore appearance. Avoid prolonged sun exposure which can fade colours.

Check the outsole for debris or wear. If the sole is worn, replacement might be needed. Ensure you are walking on appropriate surfaces, as the tread is designed for casual use.
