Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use
Upon receiving your Lacoste Lerond Pro Trainers, simply put them on as you would any other pair of shoes. Ensure they fit comfortably. If they feel slightly snug, a short break-in period will help the leather conform to your foot shape.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adult males (UK size 9) and are versatile for a wide range of casual and smart-casual attire. They are an excellent complement to:
- Jeans and denim
- Chinos or casual trousers
- Shorts
- Casual shirts, polos, and t-shirts
Care and Maintenance
Proper care is essential to maintain the quality and appearance of your leather trainers:
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust from the leather surface after each wear. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks (or as needed) to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This also helps to restore its natural sheen.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain protector spray designed for leather to guard against spills and the elements.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Insole Care: The Ortholite insoles are designed to be low maintenance. If needed, remove them and hand wash with mild soap and water, then air dry completely before reinserting.
