FAQs

What material are the Polo Ralph Lauren Bedford Trainers made of?

The trainers feature an upper primarily made of suede with leather accents. The lining consists of polyester and leather, and the outsole is 100% rubber.

How should I clean the suede parts of the trainers?

For suede, use a suede brush to remove dry dirt and restore the nap. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, applying it cautiously according to the product's instructions. Avoid getting the suede wet.

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

These trainers are inspired by athletic shoes but are designed for casual wear, not for high-impact sports or performance athletics. They offer comfort for walking and everyday activities.

What does the 'Bedford' series signify?

The 'Bedford' series refers to a specific style of Polo Ralph Lauren trainers characterized by their low-cut silhouette and design details, often drawing inspiration from vintage athletic footwear.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the rubber sole offers some protection, the suede upper is not ideal for heavy rain or wet conditions. It's best to avoid wearing them in wet weather to preserve the material.

What is the origin of the sole's design?

The unique tread pattern on the rubber sole is inspired by Boulevard Saint-Germain, an iconic street in Paris that houses the Ralph Lauren flagship store.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. If they feel slightly snug, wearing them for short periods indoors can help break them in. Consult sizing charts and consider your foot width.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or stained

Use a dedicated suede brush to lift dirt. For tougher stains, apply a specialized suede cleaner sparingly with a clean cloth, following the product's instructions. Allow to dry naturally and brush again.

Leather components look dull

Wipe the leather areas with a soft, damp cloth. Apply a small amount of leather conditioner with a clean cloth, buffing gently to restore shine and suppleness.

Laces become untied frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely with a double knot. Consider replacing them with a different material or texture if they are particularly slippery.

Shoes feel slightly tight

Wear the shoes around the house with thin socks to allow them to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider using a shoe stretcher designed for leather and suede.
