FAQs
Are these shoes water-resistant?
While the leather construction offers some protection against light rain, these trainers are not waterproof and should be dried naturally if they become wet.
Can I use these for tennis or sports?
No, these are fashion trainers inspired by 1980s tennis styles and do not provide the technical support or grip needed for active sports.
How do I choose the right size?
The Bedford series generally fits true to standard adult sizing. If you typically fall between sizes, we recommend trying the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
How do I maintain the leather finish?
Regularly apply a leather conditioner and store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Is the branding subtle?
Yes, the Bedford series features embossed logo detailing that remains sleek and understated compared to larger graphic logos.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is normal for leather footwear. Using shoe trees when not in use helps maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty cleaning the rubber sole
Use a soft brush and mild soapy water to gently scrub the edges of the rubber sole, then wipe dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers arrive ready to wear straight out of the box. For compatibility, they fit true to standard size, though leather materials may require a short 'break-in' period to conform to your foot shape. To keep your Bedford trainers looking their best, we recommend using a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust after each use. For minor scuffs on the leather, use a high-quality leather cream or conditioner. Avoid submerging them in water or using harsh detergents, as this can degrade the leather and the adhesives holding the sole in place.
