Lacoste Lerond Pro Trainers - White - UK 7

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather trainers. It can damage the leather, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in this guide.

The Lacoste Lerond Pro trainers are not inherently waterproof. While the leather offers some natural resistance to light moisture, heavy rain or submersion can damage them. We recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather for added protection.

For a sleek, minimalist look, 'no-show' or 'invisible' socks are popular. For more casual comfort, standard ankle socks or crew socks in complementary colors work well. Choose breathable materials to keep your feet comfortable.

For white leather, it's best to wipe them down after each wear to prevent dirt buildup. A more thorough deep clean and conditioning should be done monthly or every other month, depending on how frequently you wear them and the conditions they are exposed to.

Avoid using harsh household cleaners, bleach, or abrasive scrubs. These can strip the natural oils from the leather, cause discoloration, or damage the finish. Stick to mild soap, water, or dedicated leather cleaning products.

Lacoste Lerond Pro trainers typically have a standard fit. If you have wide feet, you might find them snug initially. It's always best to try them on to ensure a comfortable fit. Leather may stretch slightly over time with wear.

For light marks, use a non-abrasive white eraser. For deeper stains, apply a small amount of leather cleaner with a soft cloth, then wipe clean. Follow with a leather conditioner to restore shine.

Creasing is natural for leather shoes. To minimize, use shoe trees when not wearing. Apply leather conditioner regularly to keep the leather supple and reduce the appearance of harsh creases.

Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations around the house before extended wear. If discomfort persists, ensure you have the correct size and consider wearing thicker socks during the break-in.

Ensure trainers are fully aired out after each use. Remove insoles if possible to dry separately. Use odor-absorbing inserts, sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wear), or use an antimicrobial shoe spray.

Use a magic eraser or a specialized rubber sole cleaner to gently rub away scuff marks. A soft brush with mild soap and water can also be effective for general cleaning of the sole.
