FAQs
How do I clean my Polo Ralph Lauren Hester trainers?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For tougher stains, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear.
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the trainers can handle light rain, prolonged exposure to wet conditions is not recommended. Use a leather protector spray to increase water resistance.
What kind of socks should I wear with these trainers?
You can wear any type of socks. Consider the weather and the look you are going for, and choose accordingly.
How should I store my trainers when not in use?
Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape.
How often should I condition the leather?
Condition the leather every few weeks, or more frequently if the trainers are exposed to harsh conditions or if the leather appears dry.
What if the Pony logo fades?
The Polo Ralph Lauren Pony logo is designed to last, but if it fades, it's a sign of wear. Unfortunately, there is no way to restore it; however, the trainers will still be recognizable.
