FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Lacoste Elite Active Trainers are designed for a 70s-inspired running look and everyday casual wear. While they offer good grip and comfort for walking, they are not specialized for intense athletic running.
How do I clean the nylon and suede parts?
Gently use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth for cleaning. It is advisable to avoid excessive water and harsh chemicals, especially on the suede. Test any cleaning product on a small, hidden area first.
What is the material composition of the upper?
The upper is composed of 52% Nylon, 38% Suede, and 10% Polyurethane.
Do these trainers offer good ankle support?
The trainers feature a TPU reinforced heel for added support. However, they are low-top trainers and do not provide significant ankle coverage or support beyond what the heel counter offers.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the outsole provides grip, the nylon and suede upper is best suited for dry conditions. Prolonged exposure to wet weather may damage the materials and affect their appearance.
What sizes are available?
These trainers are available in various UK men's sizes. Please refer to the product listing for the most current size availability.
What is the main benefit of the deconstructed upper?
The deconstructed upper combines contrasting textures of nylon and suede, offering a unique aesthetic appeal and a balance of lightweight comfort and visual interest.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. If discomfort persists, check if the size is correct. Some initial break-in period may be required for suede and nylon materials.
Suede appears discolored or marked
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher marks, consult a specialized suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid using water directly on suede.
Laces are difficult to tie securely
Ensure the lace loops are clear and not obstructed. Try a different lacing technique or replace the laces if they are worn or slippery.
Outsole grip seems reduced
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that may be reducing traction.
