Lacoste LINESHOT White Sneakers Men

A French brand of 1933 founded by tennis player René Lacoste: the crocodile is the logo.

René Lacoste was nicknamed "the Crocodile": the green embroidered logo is the brand’s mark.

The heritage is tennis, but the modern range is lifestyle: preppy-cut sneakers.

Generally true to size in European sizes.

Many models use leather or leather-canvas with the embroidered crocodile.

Yes: the range covers both.

Clean preppy-tennis sneakers built for daily wear.

A damp cloth on smooth leather and canvas; a brush on suede.

Sneakers use flexible rubber soles.

Since 1933: one of France’s most iconic preppy sportswear brands.

Clean and fully dry, stuffed with paper to keep the shape, in an aired place away from heat and humidity.

Air the shoes after use, take out the insole if removable and let it dry; specific shoe deodorants also exist.

No: direct heat deforms glue and materials. Always air-dry them, even if it takes longer.

With laces of similar length and thickness to the originals; take the old lace as a size reference.

If the model has a removable insole, yes: it can be swapped for an insole of the same size or a doctor-advised one.

Yes: stuff them with socks or paper to keep the shape and pack them in a bag separate from clothes.

When the tread pattern is smooth on the contact zones, or the shoe leans sideways when placed on the floor.

Some leather models soften with wear; feeling them stiffer in the first days is normal.

It depends on the material: treated leather tolerates light rain; suede and canvas should be protected or avoided in heavy water.

A cobbler can stretch that exact spot, or you can use shoe-stretch sprays and trees.
