FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for athletic performance?
These trainers are inspired by athletic shoes but are designed primarily for casual wear and style, not for high-impact sports or performance training.
How do I clean the rubber sole?
The rubber sole can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn dirt, a soft brush can be used. Ensure the sole is dry before wearing.
What material is the lining made of?
The lining is made of 100% polyester terry, providing a soft and comfortable feel against the foot.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in wet conditions, as moisture can stain and damage the suede material. They are best suited for dry weather.
What does the "Boulevard Saint-Germain" reference on the sole mean?
The unique pattern on the rubber sole is inspired by Boulevard Saint-Germain, an iconic street in Paris that houses Ralph Lauren's flagship store, adding a unique heritage detail to the design.
How should I store my suede trainers?
Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, and a dust bag can protect the suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty.
Use a suede brush to gently lift the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser.
Water stains on suede.
Allow the shoe to dry naturally away from heat. Once dry, try using a suede brush or eraser to restore the texture. Avoid soaking the suede.
Laces are dirty.
Remove laces and hand wash them with mild detergent and water. Allow them to air dry completely before re-lacing.
Insole feels uncomfortable after extended wear.
Ensure you have the correct size. Consider using additional thin insoles designed for trainers if more cushioning is desired.
