FAQs
What is the main inspiration behind the Bedford trainers?
The Bedford trainers are inspired by the classic tennis shoe designs from the 1980s, featuring a low silhouette and retro styling.
What materials are these trainers made from?
These trainers are constructed from a combination of suede and leather, offering a premium look and feel.
Are these trainers suitable for sports or athletic activities?
While inspired by athletic footwear, the Bedford trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light activity. They are not intended for high-impact sports.
How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, a suede cleaner is recommended. Avoid getting the suede wet.
What does the sole design represent?
The unique rubber sole design pays homage to the Boulevard Saint-Germain, the street where Ralph Lauren's flagship Paris shop is located.
What type of fastener do these trainers use?
The trainers feature a traditional lace-up fastening system for an adjustable and secure fit.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet weather, as moisture can damage the suede material and affect its appearance.
Troubleshooting
Suede material looks dirty or stained.
Use a suede brush to gently lift dirt. For more significant stains, apply a dedicated suede cleaner following product instructions. Allow to dry naturally away from direct heat.
Trainers feel slightly tight.
Wear them around the house with thicker socks to allow the materials to stretch slightly. If the tightness persists, consider a shoe stretcher or consult a cobbler.
Laces are worn or damaged.
Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Polo Ralph Lauren or other shoe retailers offer replacement laces.
Rubber sole is scuffed.
Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, a rubber sole cleaner or a magic eraser (used gently) might help.
