FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Bedford trainers are lifestyle sneakers inspired by 1980s tennis shoes and are intended for casual wear, not athletic performance.
How do I clean my Bedford suede trainers?
Use a soft suede brush to remove dust. For tougher stains, use a suede eraser or a professional cleaning kit formulated for delicate leathers.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, the suede material is porous and should be protected with a water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede.
What is the inspiration behind the sole design?
The sole design pays tribute to the Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris, the home of Ralph Lauren's flagship store.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Generally, yes, but suede can stretch slightly over time. Ensure you choose your standard UK size for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Water spots on suede
Gently steam the affected area and use a soft-bristled suede brush to restore the nap.
Scuff marks on the rubber sole
Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution to wipe the edges of the rubber sole.

Use a dedicated suede eraser to gently rub away surface stains or dried mud.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are true to size for most standard UK foot shapes, but users should consider the specific material properties when choosing socks for the best fit. To care for your suede Bedford trainers, use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt after each wear. If the shoes become damp, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the material from hardening. It is highly recommended to apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to add a protective layer against environmental elements.
