FAQs
What is the main inspiration for the Bedford trainers?
The Bedford trainers are inspired by tennis shoes from the 1980s, featuring a low silhouette and classic styling. The sole design specifically pays homage to the Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris.
What material are these trainers made of?
These trainers are primarily constructed from suede, with a rubber sole.
How should I clean my suede Bedford trainers?
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Avoid water and allow to air dry if they become wet.
Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?
While inspired by tennis shoes, their design and suede material make them best suited for casual and smart-casual wear, not intense athletic performance.
What type of heel do these trainers have?
They feature a flat heel, designed for comfort during everyday wear.
How do I ensure a proper fit?
The trainers have a lace-up fastening, which allows you to adjust the tightness for a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure you select the correct UK size.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions, as water can damage the material and cause staining. Using a suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Gently brush away loose dirt. For tougher stains, use a specialized suede eraser. Test any cleaning product on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid water.
Trainers feel too tight
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider if the size is correct or if the material needs time to break in.
Suede is wet
Do not use heat to dry. Stuff the trainers with newspaper or paper towels to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature.
