FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, these shoes are made of suede and are not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to use a suede protector spray to add water resistance and protect against stains.

How do I clean the suede material?

Use a suede brush for regular cleaning. For stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product instructions carefully. Always allow suede to air dry away from direct heat.

What kind of socks should I wear with these shoes?

These shoes pair well with most types of socks, including dress socks, no-show socks, or thin casual socks, depending on the outfit and occasion.

Can I wear these shoes for sports?

The Lacoste Umpire shoes are designed for lifestyle and casual wear, not for athletic performance. While they have a rubber outsole for grip, they do not offer the specific support or cushioning required for sports.

What does the metal croc signet signify?

The metal croc signet is a signature heritage detail from Lacoste, symbolizing the brand's history and quality craftsmanship.

How do I find the right size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider trying them on if possible, as fit can vary between individuals.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a suede brush to gently remove dry dirt. For tougher stains, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner with a clean cloth, following the product's instructions. Allow to dry naturally and then brush the nap.

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If slightly tight, consider wearing thicker socks around the house to help stretch them, or use shoe trees. Suede can sometimes stretch slightly with wear.

Laces become worn or dirty

Replace laces with a similar style and length. Clean existing laces by handwashing with mild soap and water, then air dry.
