FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the Train 89 Rib trainers are made with mesh and leather panels and are not intended for use in wet or rainy conditions.
Can these be used for long-distance running?
While inspired by retro running shoes, these are primarily designed for casual, everyday lifestyle wear rather than high-performance athletic training.
How do I know if the fit is correct?
You should have a small amount of space (about a thumb's width) in the toe box, and your heel should not lift significantly when walking.
What is the material composition?
These trainers feature premium leather overlays combined with breathable mesh fabric and a durable rubber outsole.
Do I need to treat the leather before wearing?
It is not strictly required, but applying a leather protector spray can help repel light moisture and protect against surface stains.
Troubleshooting
Creasing of the leather upper
Leather creasing is natural with wear; using a shoe tree when not in use can help minimize deep set-in creases.
Surface dirt on the midsole
Use a soft-bristled brush or an eraser sponge to gently scrub the EVA foam midsole for a quick refresh.
Insole slippage
Ensure the internal fabric is dry. If slippage persists, consider replacing the insole with a standard adhesive-backed foam insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Ralph Lauren trainers remain in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather and mesh surfaces with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper stains, use a leather-specific cleaner for the overlays and a mild detergent mixed with water for the mesh areas.
- Drying: Always air dry the shoes at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can cause the leather to crack and the adhesive to degrade.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the trainer and absorb moisture after wear.
- Compatibility: These trainers are standard UK sizes. If you are between sizes, consider trying the fit with the specific thickness of socks you intend to wear daily.
