Product Information
Full details
The Polo Ralph Lauren Bedford Trainers are designed for the adult male seeking a stylish and comfortable casual footwear option. Their key benefit lies in blending classic 1980s tennis shoe aesthetics with modern comfort and durable leather construction, offering enduring athletic style. A potential caveat is that while primarily leather, the lining contains polyester and elastane, which may be a consideration for those seeking entirely natural materials. Key features include a low silhouette, suede construction with leather accents, signature logo motifs, and a rubber sole inspired by Parisian street art.

Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try flexing the shoe gently. If persistent, a small amount of talcum powder under the insole might help absorb moisture causing the friction.
Leather appears dry or scuffed
Apply a leather conditioner or cream specifically designed for the type of leather. For scuffs, a matching color shoe polish can help restore the finish. Use a suede brush for suede areas.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with a new pair of appropriate length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.
