FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Polo Ralph Lauren Bedford series generally follows standard UK sizing; however, since suede may have slight variations, ensure you select your regular athletic shoe size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, you should never submerge suede sneakers in water or put them in a washing machine, as this will permanently damage the texture and shape.
What does the Boulevard Saint-Germain sole signify?
It is a decorative homage to Ralph Lauren’s flagship store location in Paris, integrated directly into the grip pattern of the rubber outsole.
Can I wear these for sports?
While inspired by 1980s tennis shoes, these are designed as lifestyle sneakers and are not intended for competitive athletic use.
How do I keep the white suede clean?
Preventative care is key. Use a suede-specific water and stain repellent before your first wear and brush them regularly to prevent dirt buildup.
Troubleshooting
Surface water spots or light dirt
Allow the suede to dry completely, then use a suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove loose dirt.
Stubborn marks on the suede
Use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub the mark until it fades, brushing away the residue afterward.
Rubber sole looking dull
Wipe the rubber edges with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry with a clean microfiber cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before wearing your Bedford trainers for the first time, it is highly recommended to apply a protective suede spray to repel water and prevent light staining. Ensure you store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the suede over time. For ongoing maintenance, use a soft suede brush to lift surface dirt and nap. Avoid getting the shoes soaked; if they do become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources like radiators, as high heat can warp the rubber or stiffen the suede. For deep cleaning, use a specialized suede eraser or a dedicated suede cleaning foam.
