FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

The Bedford trainers are designed for casual wear and offer comfort for everyday activities. They are not intended for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic performance due to their construction and materials.

How should I clean the suede material?

Gently brush the suede with a dedicated suede brush to remove dust. For stains, use a suede eraser or a slightly damp cloth. Always allow the suede to air dry completely and avoid direct heat.

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 material. If they do get wet, blot them dry immediately and allow them to air dry naturally.

What is the unique design on the rubber sole?

The rubber sole features an exclusive pattern inspired by the Boulevard Saint-Germain, an iconic street in Paris where Ralph Lauren's flagship store is located.

What size should I order if I'm between UK sizes?

As a general guideline, if you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for a more comfortable fit, especially with closed-toe footwear. However, fit can vary individually.

How do I care for the leather heel tab?

Wipe the leather heel tab with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For maintenance, you can use a leather conditioner suitable for smooth leather to keep it supple.

What other colors and materials are available in the Bedford series?

The Bedford series is available in various colors and materials, including different shades of suede and leather, and may feature variations in design details. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Suede becoming stiff or discolored

Avoid exposing the trainers to heavy rain or moisture. Clean with a specialized suede brush and conditioner. For stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner.

Laces becoming frayed

Replace frayed laces with new ones of a similar length and style. Standard flat laces can be used as replacements.

Inner sole feels uncomfortable

Ensure the correct size is being worn. If the padding is insufficient for extended wear, consider using thin, supportive insoles designed for casual shoes.

Rubber sole losing grip

Clean the sole thoroughly to remove any debris. If wear is significant, it may indicate the end of the product's lifespan for optimal grip.
