FAQs
What is the primary material of the Bedford trainers?
The upper is primarily constructed from 100% leather, featuring suede elements and leather side straps.
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and are not intended for high-impact athletic activities. They offer comfort for everyday walking.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
Use a suede brush to clean the suede. Avoid using water directly on suede, and for tough stains, professional cleaning is recommended.
What does the unique sole design represent?
The rubber sole features a design inspired by Boulevard Saint-Germain, the street where Ralph Lauren's flagship store in Paris is located.
What is the purpose of the padded mesh insole?
The padded mesh insole is designed to provide cushioning and enhance comfort for all-day wear.
How do I determine the correct UK size?
Refer to the size guide provided by Polo Ralph Lauren, or try them on if possible, as the UK 8 size is specified for this particular variant.
Can these trainers be worn in wet weather?
While the leather offers some protection, it is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain. Using a waterproofing spray designed for leather and suede can help provide protection.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, consult a professional leather cleaner.
Leather creasing significantly
Natural creasing will occur with wear. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when not in use.
Sole appears worn
The rubber sole is designed for durability in casual use. If significant wear affects traction, consult a cobbler for potential sole repair or replacement options.
