FAQs
What type of leather is used in these sneakers?
The description specifies 'Leather' as the outer fabric, indicating genuine leather. Specific tanning or finishing processes are not detailed but are typical for premium casual footwear.
Are these sneakers suitable for running or sports?
No, these sneakers are designed for casual and smart-casual wear. They feature a cushioned midsole and rubber outsole for everyday comfort and traction, but lack the specialized support and construction needed for athletic activities.
How do I clean the embroidered pony logo?
Gently wipe the logo with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid scrubbing directly on the embroidery to prevent damage or loose threads.
Can I wear these sneakers in wet weather?
While the leather can be treated for some water resistance, these are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the leather and prolonged drying times.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The product description indicates a 'Flat' heel height, consistent with classic court-style trainers.
How does the sizing run for the Train 89 series?
Sizing can vary between brands and models. It is generally recommended to consult the brand's specific size chart or try them on if possible. Users often find them to be true to size, but individual foot shapes can influence fit.
What other colour options are available for the Train 89 series?
The Train 89 series is available in various colours and materials, including different shades of black, blue, white, and grey, often with contrasting details or in suede variations.
Troubleshooting
Leather creasing excessively
This is natural for leather. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and reduce deep creases. Avoid bending the shoes excessively when walking.
Soles becoming slippery
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If wear is significant, the grip may be reduced, and replacement might be considered.
Discoloration on leather
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If minor discoloration occurs, try a leather cleaner specifically designed for black leather. For significant issues, consult a professional shoe repair service.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with new ones of a similar length and material. Polo Ralph Lauren or other shoe retailers often carry replacement laces.

Care:
- Cleaning: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the leather and sole. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Conditioning: Periodically condition the leather with a suitable leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking. Apply conditioner sparingly with a clean cloth and buff gently.
