FAQs
What age group are these trainers best suited for?
These trainers are designed for kids and feature touch 'n' close fasteners, making them particularly suitable for toddlers and young children who are developing their independent dressing skills.
What material are the Lacoste Powercourt trainers made of?
The uppers are made of 100% polyurethane, the lining and cushioning are 100% polyester, and the sole is 100% rubber.
How should I clean the white polyurethane upper?
Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The trainers are not explicitly waterproof. While the polyurethane and rubber offer some resistance, they are not designed for submersion in water or heavy rain conditions.
Can these trainers be put in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for these trainers as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand cleaning as per the care instructions is advised.
What is the main advantage of the 'touch 'n' close' fastening?
The 'touch 'n' close' (Velcro) fastening allows for quick and easy application and removal of the shoes, empowering children to dress themselves independently.
Do these trainers offer arch support?
These trainers feature a flat heel and polyester cushioning for comfort. They are designed for general wear and may not provide significant specialized arch support for specific foot conditions.
Troubleshooting
Shoes are difficult to fasten.
Ensure the touch 'n' close straps are clean and free of debris. If the hook-and-loop material has lost some grip, try brushing it gently with a stiff brush.
Discoloration on the white upper.
Wipe the affected area immediately with a damp cloth. For persistent stains, use a specialized shoe cleaner for polyurethane or a very mild soap and water solution, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Foot odor inside the trainers.
Allow the trainers to air out completely between wears. Sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors, then shake out before wearing. Ensure socks are worn to minimize sweat buildup.
