Lacoste Lerond - Black - UK 12

No, the Lacoste Lerond Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-impact activities like running or other sports. Using them for such purposes may lead to discomfort and premature wear.

These trainers are listed in UK sizing. We recommend referring to Lacoste's official size chart to compare your foot measurements with their specific sizing. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit; some prefer to size up for a slightly roomier casual fit.

While the leather offers some natural resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. We recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to provide better protection against moisture.

For optimal care, wipe them down with a damp cloth after each wear to remove surface dirt. For deep cleaning and conditioning, aim for every 2-4 weeks, depending on how frequently you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to. Consistent care prolongs their life and appearance.

Info needed: [While many Lacoste trainers have removable insoles for cleaning or custom orthotics, this specific detail for the Lerond model needs verification. Please check the product directly or consult the manufacturer's manual.]

These trainers pair well with a variety of socks, including athletic ankle socks for a no-show look, or casual crew socks. Choose socks made from breathable materials like cotton or a cotton blend for maximum comfort.

Clean the leather thoroughly with a suitable leather cleaner, then apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Buff gently with a soft cloth for shine. Regular conditioning will prevent future dryness.

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations (1-2 hours) initially. If still too tight, consider using a shoe stretcher or wearing thicker socks during the break-in process. Ensure lacing is not too restrictive.

Ensure you are tying a proper 'reef knot' or 'square knot', not a 'granny knot'. Double-knotting can also provide extra security. Consider replacing worn laces with new, slightly coarser ones if the issue persists.

Often, squeaking comes from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then reinserting the insole. If the squeak persists, it might be due to the outsole, which typically requires professional repair.

For light scuffs, gently rub the area with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, apply a small amount of matching leather cream or shoe polish to the affected area, then buff. A professional shoe repairer can address more significant damage.
