FAQs
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather, suede, and structural components of the shoe. Stick to manual surface cleaning.
Do these trainers run true to size?
The Lacoste Slam Break typically follows standard sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may want to consider a half-size up to account for the structured leather.
Can I use these for playing tennis?
While tennis-inspired, these are lifestyle trainers. They are not designed with the specialized lateral support needed for competitive court sports.
What is the purpose of the mesh tongue?
The mesh tongue is designed to increase breathability and reduce weight, adding to the overall comfort of the shoe.
How do I protect the white leather?
We recommend applying a high-quality leather protector spray before your first wear to create a barrier against dirt and liquid spills.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on leather
Use a specialized leather conditioner or cleaner and a soft microfiber cloth to buff out minor surface marks.
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush or a suede eraser to gently lift the nap of the fabric and remove surface dust.
Discomfort or pinching
Ensure the laces are adjusted to accommodate your foot width and consider using thin moisture-wicking socks to improve fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Lacoste Slam Break trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Because of the leather construction, the shoes may feel slightly firm at first. Wear them for short durations indoors to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dirt from the suede sections. For leather surfaces, wipe with a soft, damp cloth using a mild leather cleaner if necessary.
- Moisture Protection: Applying a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather and suede can protect the shoes from sudden light rain and spills.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the material or cause the glue bonds to weaken over time.
