FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Train 89 trainers are designed for casual wear and light athletic activities. They provide comfort and style but do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for intense, long-distance running like marathons.
How do I clean the suede material?
For dry dirt, use a suede brush. For stains, use a specialized suede cleaner, following the product instructions carefully. It is advisable to test any cleaner on a small, hidden area first. Avoid getting the suede excessively wet.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using their original box or a shoe bag can help protect the suede and maintain their shape.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the rugged outsole offers some grip, the suede material is not ideal for wet conditions. Excessive moisture can damage the suede. It is recommended to avoid wearing them in heavy rain and consider treating them with a suede protector spray for water resistance.
What does the embroidered horse logo signify?
The embroidered horse logo is Ralph Lauren's signature, representing the brand's classic equestrian heritage and its connection to sport and style.
How do the 1970s design elements enhance the shoe?
The 1970s-inspired silhouette provides a timeless, retro look that is updated with modern materials and construction for contemporary comfort and durability. The classic lines offer a versatile aesthetic.
What is the main difference between this and a standard running shoe?
The Train 89 prioritizes a blend of style and casual comfort, drawing from vintage running shoe aesthetics. Standard running shoes are typically engineered with advanced technology specifically for performance in athletic disciplines.
Troubleshooting
Suede becoming dirty or stained
Use a suede brush for dry dirt. For stains, apply a suede-specific cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Test cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust for a more comfortable fit. Suede can stretch slightly over time with wear.
Water damage to suede
Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Once dry, use a suede brush to restore the nap. Consider using a suede protector spray for future water resistance.
Traction feels reduced on smooth surfaces
Ensure the outsole is clean from debris. For persistent issues, the rugged tread pattern is designed for grip, but may perform differently on highly polished or wet surfaces.
