FAQs

How do I clean the Polo Ralph Lauren Train 89 Trainers?

For suede, use a suede brush and cleaner. For leather, wipe with a damp cloth and use leather cleaner/conditioner. Always air dry away from direct heat.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for performance running or intense sports activities.

Are they water-resistant?

The trainers are not inherently waterproof. The suede material, in particular, is sensitive to water. We recommend using a protective water and stain repellent spray suitable for both suede and leather to offer some resistance against light moisture.

What materials are used in the trainers?

The upper is crafted from a combination of tonal suede and leather, and the outsole is made from treaded rubber with a TPU heel insert.

How do I ensure the best fit?

These trainers are listed in UK men's sizing. We recommend trying them on to ensure a comfortable fit. The padded collar and tongue contribute to a snug feel.

Can I wear these trainers with formal attire?

While versatile, they are best suited for casual and smart-casual settings. They can elevate a relaxed look but are generally not recommended for formal or business attire.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks dull or matted

Use a specialized suede brush to gently restore the nap of the suede. Brush in one direction. For stubborn spots, a suede eraser can be helpful.

Minor scuffs or marks on leather sections

Gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth. For deeper scuffs, a small amount of leather conditioner or polish of a matching color can help to blend them in.

Sole feels slippery in wet conditions

While the treaded outsole provides good grip, no shoe is entirely slip-proof. Exercise caution on wet or icy surfaces. Consider applying a water-repellent spray to the upper for added protection against moisture.

Foot discomfort after long wear

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. The trainers typically conform to your foot over time. If discomfort persists, consider using thin, comfortable socks or checking if an orthotic insole would provide additional support without compromising fit.

Unpleasant odor develops inside the trainers

Remove insoles (if removable) and air out trainers. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside and leave overnight. Ensure trainers are fully dry after wear before storing them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Your new Polo Ralph Lauren Train 89 Trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Simply lace them up to your desired tightness. Like most new footwear, they may feel a little stiff initially, but will conform to your foot with a few wears.

Compatibility

These trainers are designed for maximum wardrobe versatility:

  • Casual: Pair with denim jeans, t-shirts, hoodies, or casual jackets for an effortless look.
  • Smart-Casual: Combine with chinos, tailored trousers, polo shirts, or button-down shirts for a refined yet relaxed ensemble.
  • Athleisure: Can complement athletic-inspired wear, though not intended for active sports performance.

Care

Maintaining the quality of your suede and leather trainers requires specific attention:

  1. Regular Cleaning: Gently brush off dirt and dust from both suede and leather sections after each wear using a soft brush.
  2. Suede Care: For stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner and brush. Brush in one direction to restore the nap. Avoid harsh scrubbing.
  3. Leather Care: For leather portions, wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a leather cleaner. Condition periodically with a leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
  4. Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for both suede and leather before first wear and reapply periodically, especially if worn in varying weather conditions.
  5. Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Air dry away from direct heat sources.
  6. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to maintain their shape over time.
