FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
No, the Bedford Trainers are designed for casual wear and light activity. They do not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for running or intense athletic training.
How do I clean the suede parts?
Use a soft suede brush to remove surface dirt. For stains, a suede eraser is recommended. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first. Consider using a suede protector spray for added protection.
What is the heel height?
The Bedford Trainers feature a flat heel, providing comfort for extended wear.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
It is not recommended to wear suede trainers in heavy rain, as water can stain and damage the material. Using a waterproofing spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
How do I find the right size?
Refer to the size guide provided by the retailer. These trainers are typically sized for adult UK shoe sizes. Consider the shoe's width and your personal comfort preferences.
What is the sole inspired by?
The rubber sole features a unique design inspired by the Boulevard Saint-Germain, an iconic street in Paris where Ralph Lauren has a flagship store.
What materials are the trainers made of?
The trainers feature a combination of suede and leather in their construction, providing both texture and durability.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dirty or stained
Use a specialized suede eraser for dry marks. For tougher stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner. Apply a suede protector spray regularly to prevent future stains.
Laces are worn or damaged
Replace laces with new ones. Ensure the length and style are appropriate for the trainer.
Soles feel slippery
Ensure the soles are clean and free from debris. For significantly worn soles, consider consulting a shoe repair specialist for potential sole replacement or treatment.
General creasing on leather/suede
Creasing is natural with wear. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape when not in use. Avoid over-stuffing footwear.
