FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Storm 96 2K trainers are designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. While they offer cushioning, they may not provide the specialized support and performance features required for serious running.
What materials are the trainers made of?
The trainers feature a combination of mesh and synthetic leather for the upper, an EVA midsole for comfort, and a textured rubber outsole for grip. Some models may have TPU plates for added support.
How do I clean the mesh parts of the trainers?
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush or cloth and a mild soap and water solution. Avoid soaking the shoes. Allow them to air dry completely.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
The rubber outsole provides good grip, but the mesh and leather upper are not fully waterproof. They are suitable for light rain, but prolonged exposure to heavy wet conditions is not recommended.
What does the '2K' in Storm 96 2K signify?
The '2K' designation often refers to a specific update or iteration of the original Storm 96 model, potentially indicating updated design elements, materials, or performance enhancements introduced around the year 2000 or a similar modern interpretation.
How should I store my Lacoste Storm 96 2K trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Using the original box or a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their shape and protect them from dust.
What is the warranty period for these trainers?
Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the point of purchase or the official Lacoste website for specific warranty details applicable to your purchase.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have measured your foot accurately and compared it with the brand's size chart. If possible, try on different sizes or consult customer reviews for fit guidance. Consider the width of your foot.
Shoe feels uncomfortable after initial wear
Allow a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for brief periods initially and gradually increase the duration. Ensure laces are adjusted correctly for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Traction seems reduced
Clean the rubber outsole to remove any accumulated dirt, mud, or debris that might be affecting grip. Ensure the surfaces you are walking on are not excessively wet or oily.
Leather components show creases or scuffs
Minor creases are normal with leather use. For scuffs, try a leather cleaner or polish suitable for the shoe's color. Use a leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent future damage.
