FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic sports?
While inspired by 1980s tennis shoes, the Bedford is designed primarily for lifestyle and casual use, not for high-intensity sports.
How should I clean the white sections of the trainer?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a gentle, damp cloth with a mild soap solution, wiping carefully to avoid spreading dirt to the black sections.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
Generally, they fit standard sizing, but if you are between sizes, it is recommended to try them on or compare them to your existing Polo Ralph Lauren footwear.
Can the insoles be replaced?
The insoles are typically standard. If you require custom orthotics, ensure they are thin enough to fit within the low-silhouette frame.
What is the primary material used?
The main construction of this series is high-quality leather, which provides a premium look and structural durability.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Insert wooden shoe trees after each wear to help the leather retain its shape and absorb excess moisture.
Difficulty keeping laces tied
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets evenly and consider a double knot if the material is particularly smooth.
Minor scuffs on the leather surface
Apply a small amount of leather cream matching the shoe color to buff out light abrasions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Bedford trainers remain in peak condition, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Use a shoe horn when putting them on to maintain the integrity of the heel counter. For leather care, clean the surface using a soft, dry cloth to remove surface dust. For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and conditioner to maintain the material's suppleness. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive elements.
