How to look after your Lacoste shoes?

Sneakers, performance shoes, slides, sandals… preserve the elegance of your Lacoste footwear and extend their lifespan by following these steps:

Good practices

Alternate pairs: To let the material breathe and maintain its natural shape, avoid wearing the same pair several days in a row.

Storage: Store them in a dry place, away from sunlight, and any source of humidity.

Quick refresh: Remember to give your shoes a quick clean after each wear, even if it's just a brief one.

1 – Waterproofing

Protect your shoes before wearing them for the first time. Whether they’re leather, textile, or technical materials, simply spray them with the suitable waterproofing product.

2 – Cleaning

Clean your shoes as regularly as possible. Depending on the model, you can:

gently brush them with a soft brush to remove dust and dirt
machine-wash the laces after placing them in a small protective mesh bag, then let them air-dry
clean the soles with a damp cloth or soft brush using circular motions

- Leather shoes: clean the leather with a cloth soaked in neutral leather conditioner, then apply a suitable nourishing spray

- Suede or nubuck shoes: use an appropriate brush to remove marks, then apply a specific protective spray

- Textile shoes: focus on spot-cleaning with a damp cloth, avoiding excessive water

3 – Drying

Let your shoes air-dry in a dry, well-ventilated spot. Keep them away from direct heat — radiators, hair dryers, or strong sunlight — to avoid damaging the material. You can also gently stuff them with clean paper to help them keep their shape and absorb any leftover moisture.

The Lacoste Tip

Did you know that baking soda is a natural and effective odor absorber? Lightly sprinkle some inside, let it sit for about 15 minutes, then shake or brush out the excess.
