FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Lacoste Aura trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. While inspired by tennis, they do not offer the specialized support or performance features required for rigorous athletic activity.
How do I maintain the green suede?
To maintain the green suede, use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a suede-specific cleaner and follow application instructions. Avoid water and harsh chemicals.
What size should I order?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. These trainers are listed in UK adult sizes. It is recommended to measure your foot length for the most accurate fit.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, nylon, and adhesives, compromising the shoe's structure and appearance.
What does 'deconstructed aesthetic' mean for these trainers?
A deconstructed aesthetic refers to a design that intentionally exposes or highlights construction elements, or features a deliberately 'worn-in' or unfinished look, contributing to a unique, retro style.
What other colors are available in the Aura series?
The Aura series is available in various colorways, including White, Pink, and Grey/White, often featuring different material combinations depending on the specific model.
Are these trainers waterproof?
These trainers are not waterproof. The suede and nylon materials are susceptible to water damage, and they are intended for dry to mildly damp conditions.
Troubleshooting
Suede discoloration or staining
Immediately blot any liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Allow to air dry and then brush gently with a suede brush.
Creasing on suede or nylon
Some creasing is natural with wear. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Store with shoe trees if possible.
Dirt on rubber sole
Use a damp cloth or a soft brush with a little soap and water to clean the rubber outsole. Rinse with a clean damp cloth.
Fraying nylon tongue
Gently trim any loose threads with small scissors. Avoid excessive pulling or snagging.
