FAQs

What material are the Lacoste Umpire shoes made of?

The Lacoste Umpire shoes feature a suede upper with leather detailing. The outsole is made of high-grip rubber.

Are these shoes suitable for sports like tennis?

While inspired by tennis aesthetics, their primary design is for lifestyle wear. The rubber outsole offers good grip, but they are not specialized performance tennis shoes.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for general cleaning. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, applied according to product instructions. Avoid water immersion.

What is the best way to store these shoes?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in their original box or a dust bag to maintain their shape and protect the material.

Do these shoes run true to size?

The product description states they fit true to size, with a standard fit. It is advisable to consult the sizing chart provided.

What does the metal croc signet signify?

The metal croc signet is a signature embellishment that signifies Lacoste's heritage and brand identity.

Can I wear these shoes in wet weather?

Due to the suede material, it is not recommended to wear these shoes in heavy rain or wet conditions, as moisture can damage the suede. Using a suede protector spray can offer some protection against light moisture.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or dirty

Use a suede brush to restore the nap and remove loose dirt. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow instructions. Test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first.

Laces are frayed or worn

Replace laces with new ones of a similar style and length. Available at most shoe repair shops or online retailers.

Outsole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For persistent slipperiness on very smooth surfaces, consider a professional resole with a more aggressive tread pattern if available.

Shoes feel tight after wearing

Ensure you ordered the correct size according to the provided sizing chart. If slightly tight, consider wearing them with thinner socks or using shoe stretchers.
