FAQs

What is the best way to clean the suede on these shoes?

For general cleaning, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser is effective. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally after any cleaning.

Are these shoes suitable for rain?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the suede upper is not waterproof and can be damaged by heavy rain. It is best to wear these shoes in dry or moderately damp conditions.

How do I ensure I have the right fit?

The Umpire Low Shoes are listed in UK adult sizes. We recommend checking your usual UK shoe size. Trying them on indoors on a clean surface is advisable to confirm fit before outdoor use.

What type of socks should I wear with these shoes?

These shoes pair well with standard dress socks, athletic-style socks, or even no-show socks depending on your outfit and preference. Cotton or wool blends are good choices for comfort.

Can I wear these for sports like tennis?

While inspired by tennis heritage, the Umpire Low Shoes are designed more for lifestyle and casual wear. For actual tennis play, specialized tennis shoes offering better support and durability are recommended.

What does the metal crocodile signet signify?

The metal crocodile signet is a signature heritage detail of the Lacoste brand, symbolizing its origin and iconic logo.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dull or stained

Use a suede eraser to gently lift stains. For general dullness, use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn stains, consult a professional suede cleaner.

Soles feel slippery

Ensure the rubber outsoles are clean. Dirt and debris can reduce grip. If the issue persists after cleaning, the outsole may be worn down and require professional inspection.

Discomfort during wear

Ensure the correct size is being worn. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods initially. Consider using insoles for added comfort if needed.

Care:
