FAQs
What material are the Bedford trainers primarily made of?
The Bedford trainers feature a primary upper construction of suede, enhanced with leather details such as side straps, eyelets, and reinforced heel.
How do I clean the suede sections of the trainers?
For suede, use a dedicated suede brush to remove dust and restore the texture. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid using water directly on suede.
What is the inspiration behind the sole design?
The rubber sole features a unique pattern that pays homage to Boulevard Saint-Germain, an iconic street in Paris where Ralph Lauren's flagship shop is located.
Are these trainers suitable for sports or running?
No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes, not for athletic performance activities like running or sports.
What does the 'PP' in some model names refer to?
While not explicitly detailed in the product description for this specific guide, 'PP' in Polo Ralph Lauren footwear often denotes specific collections or material variations, such as 'Pebble Grain' or specific design lines.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the suede, leather, and construction of the trainers.
What are the inner lining materials?
The lining is made of mesh, specifically composed of 88% polyester and 12% elastane for breathability and flexibility.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or matted.
Use a suede brush in one direction to lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, try a suede eraser.
Leather parts have scuff marks.
For light scuffs, a leather conditioner or polish might help blend them. For deeper marks, professional leather repair may be needed.
Shoes feel tight after initial wear.
Leather and suede can stretch slightly with wear. If they remain uncomfortable, consider using shoe trees to help them conform to your foot shape over time.
Laces are fraying.
Replace the laces with a similar style and length. New laces can also refresh the look of the trainers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers require no specific setup beyond lacing them up. They are compatible with most casual wear styles. To maintain their appearance and longevity:
- Cleaning Suede: Use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid using water directly on suede sections.
- Cleaning Leather: Wipe leather parts with a slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, stuff them with paper to maintain their shape and allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and damage.
