FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Polo Ralph Lauren footwear generally runs true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. If you are between sizes, consider trying the next half size up, especially if you prefer a roomier fit or plan to wear thicker socks.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the `premium leather` offers some natural resistance, these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided. If they do get wet, allow them to air dry naturally and apply leather conditioner afterwards to restore moisture.
How often should I clean and condition the leather?
Regular light cleaning (wiping with a dry cloth) should be done after every few wears. For deep cleaning and conditioning, we recommend every 2-4 months depending on frequency of use and exposure to elements. More frequent conditioning may be needed if the leather appears dry.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
For optimal comfort and to protect the inside of your trainers, we recommend wearing quality socks made from breathable materials like cotton or a synthetic blend. The style of sock (no-show, ankle, crew) depends on your personal preference and outfit.
Are the insoles removable?
Info needed: [Please check product specifications for confirmation on removable insoles.] Often, padded footbeds in premium trainers are integrated for stability and comfort, but some models may feature removable insoles for custom orthotics.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the Polo Ralph Lauren Master Court Trainers is constructed from `premium leather`.
Troubleshooting
Leather appears dull or dry.
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner. Ensure the trainers are clean before conditioning. Regular conditioning helps maintain luster and suppleness.
Trainers feel stiff and uncomfortable.
Leather shoes often require a 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations initially to allow the leather to conform to your foot. Use thicker socks if needed during this period.
Scuff marks on the leather.
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a specialized leather repair cream or polish in a matching color may be necessary. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
Unpleasant odor inside the trainers.
Allow the trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Consider using shoe deodorizers or placing baking soda in a cloth bag inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors. Ensure socks are clean and breathable.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Sometimes squeaking can come from the insole rubbing against the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of talcum powder underneath it. If the squeak persists, it might be a sole issue requiring professional assessment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First Use
Upon receiving your trainers, inspect them for any packaging residue. While there's no technical setup, we recommend trying them on at home first to ensure the fit is correct and to begin the natural break-in process of the leather.
Compatibility
These Master Court Trainers are incredibly versatile and can be integrated into many wardrobes:
- Apparel: They pair well with a wide range of casual and smart-casual clothing, including denim jeans, chinos, tailored trousers, shorts, and even some relaxed suit separates. Their `Grey` color scheme makes them easy to match with most colors.
- Occasions: Ideal for daily casual wear, weekend outings, smart-casual office environments (where permitted), and travel.
Care & Maintenance
To ensure your premium leather trainers remain in excellent condition and last for years, follow these care guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather uppers with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Conditioning: Leather can dry out over time. Apply a high-quality leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important if the shoes get wet frequently.
- Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for leather to protect against moisture and spills.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the leather.
- Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth and mild soap to maintain traction and appearance.
Note: The `perforated detailing` should be kept clear of dirt to maintain breathability. Use a soft brush to gently clean these areas.
