FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Bedford trainers are lifestyle shoes inspired by tennis styles and are not engineered for running or heavy athletic performance.
How should I clean the suede material?
Use a soft-bristled suede brush. For tougher stains, utilize a professional suede eraser, and avoid using water or standard leather soaps.
Is the sizing consistent with other brands?
The shoes follow standard UK sizing for adult men. If you are between sizes, consider your preferred fit for casual trainers.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
Absolutely not. Machine washing will damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the trainers.
What is the inspiration behind the outsole design?
The rubber sole features a unique pattern paying tribute to the Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris, home to Ralph Lauren's flagship store.
Troubleshooting
Visible dust or dry dirt on the surface
Gently use a dry suede brush in the direction of the grain to lift dirt particles.
Water spots or light stains
Allow the shoe to dry completely, then use a suede eraser to gently rub away the affected area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Bedford trainers remain in peak condition, follow these care guidelines. Since these trainers are primarily crafted from suede, avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water can permanently stain or damage the fabric. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources. Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt and maintain the nap of the material. For storage, keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain their shape when not in use.
