Getting started with your Polo Ralph Lauren Master Court Trainers is straightforward, focusing mainly on proper care to maintain their premium condition.

- Everyday Wear: Ideal for daily errands, social gatherings, or office environments with a relaxed dress code.
Product Care & Maintenance
Maintaining the pristine condition of your white leather trainers is crucial for their longevity and appearance.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe down the leather uppers with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a specialized mild leather cleaner applied with a clean cloth, following product instructions.
- Deep Cleaning (As Needed): For ingrained dirt, a soft brush can be used with leather cleaner on the soles and edges. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the leather.
- Leather Conditioning: Periodically apply a quality leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking. This also helps in repelling water and stains.
- Protecting White Leather: Consider using a leather protector spray designed for white footwear. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Sole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap to maintain its grip and appearance.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the trainers with paper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight, which can cause the leather to crack or discolour.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Keep them away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
