Lacoste Lerond Pro Low-Top Trainers - Black - UK 10

No, the Lacoste Lerond Pro Leather Trainers are primarily designed for *casual wear and streetwear*. While they offer excellent comfort, they are not engineered for the rigorous demands of high-performance athletic activities like running or intensive sports.

For routine cleaning, wipe the leather with a *soft, slightly damp cloth*. For more thorough cleaning and maintenance, use a *specialized leather cleaner and conditioner* designed for footwear. Always follow the product instructions and test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Ortholite performance insoles provide *superior, long-lasting cushioning* for comfort, actively *wick away moisture* to keep feet dry, *enhance airflow* for breathability, and incorporate *anti-microbial agents* to combat odor and bacteria growth.

Generally, Lacoste trainers, including the Lerond Pro series, tend to run *true to size*. However, foot shape and personal preference can vary. If possible, it's always best to consult a size chart or try them on to ensure the perfect fit.

While leather offers a degree of natural water resistance, these trainers are *not fully waterproof*. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or standing water should be avoided to protect the leather. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.

The frequency depends on how often you wear them and the environmental conditions. As a general guideline, condition the leather *every 1-2 months* or whenever you notice the leather starting to look dull or dry. Regular conditioning keeps the leather supple and prevents cracking.

New leather trainers often require a *break-in period* of a few wears to soften and mold to your foot. Ensure you have the correct size; an improper fit can lead to discomfort. The Ortholite insoles are designed for comfort, but stiffness in new shoes is normal.

Apply a high-quality *leather conditioner* specifically formulated for footwear. Clean the leather thoroughly with a damp cloth first, allow it to dry, then apply the conditioner. This will restore moisture, natural oils, and shine.

Although Ortholite insoles have anti-microbial properties, persistent odors can occur. *Remove the insoles* and air them out in a well-ventilated area. Consider using a shoe deodorizer or sprinkling baking soda inside the shoes overnight (remove before wearing).

For light scuffs, sometimes gentle rubbing with a *soft cloth* can minimize them. For deeper scratches, a specialized *leather repair balm or polish* matching the shoe's color can help. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. If the trainers consistently feel too tight or loose even after adjusting laces, you might need a different size. Leather can stretch slightly over time, but significant discomfort indicates a sizing issue.
