FAQs
What are the Lacoste Aura Trainers made of?
The Lacoste Aura Trainers feature embossed nubuck uppers and rest on a rubber sole. They also include a rubber toe bumper and metal croc motifs.
How do I clean the nubuck upper?
For nubuck uppers, it is best to use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the material or using harsh cleaning agents. A specialized nubuck cleaning kit or eraser can be effective for marks.
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Lacoste Aura Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday use. While they offer good grip, they are not intended for high-impact athletic activities.
What is the origin of the Aura trainer design?
The design of the Aura trainers leans on '70s terrace roots, giving them a distinctive retro aesthetic.
Do the trainers have good ankle support?
The Aura trainers are low-top trainers and provide standard ankle support typical for this style. They are not designed for significant ankle support during strenuous activity.
What kind of tread does the sole have?
The rubber sole features a combination of chevron and honeycomb tread patterns, designed to provide reliable grip and traction.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have checked the Lacoste sizing guide. If the fit is still not right, consider exchanging for a different size. Allow for a potential break-in period for the materials to adapt to your foot.
Nubuck material scuffs easily
Use a nubuck eraser or a specialized nubuck cleaning kit to gently remove scuff marks. Apply a protective spray designed for nubuck to help prevent future marks.
Tread seems to offer poor grip
Ensure the sole and tread are clean and free from dirt, mud, or debris. Check for any visible wear on the rubber tread that might be affecting performance.
