FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for sports?
The Polo Ralph Lauren Train 89 Trainers are designed for casual everyday wear and light walking, not for rigorous athletic activities or intense sports. Their construction focuses on style and comfort for daily use.
How should I clean the suede portions?
For suede, use a specialized suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid water or harsh chemical cleaners, which can damage the material.
Can I wear these in the rain?
While they can handle light dampness, the suede material is not waterproof and heavy rain should be avoided. Consider using a protective water-repellent spray specifically designed for suede and leather to offer some resistance.
What is the TPU heel insert for?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) heel insert provides enhanced support and stability to the heel area, contributing to overall comfort and reducing foot fatigue during wear.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Polo Ralph Lauren footwear generally runs true to size. For this specific model, UK 10 is indicated. If you are unsure, it is often recommended to try them on or consult a size guide specific to the brand if available.
What materials are the trainers made from?
The upper features a combination of tonal suede and leather. The outsole is made from treaded rubber, and the interior includes padded elements for comfort.
How do I store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape, especially for the leather and suede components.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or dirty
Use a suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction. For persistent dirt, use a suede eraser.
Leather appears dull or scuffed
Clean with a damp cloth and apply a leather conditioner or polish to restore its shine and protect the material.
Trainers feel too tight or loose
Adjust lacing to achieve a more comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for the intended use.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes be caused by friction between insoles and the shoe's interior. Try removing and reinserting the insole, or applying a small amount of talcum powder underneath.
Loss of grip on outsole
Clean the treaded rubber outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction.

Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your trainers.
- Regular Cleaning:
- Suede: Use a soft-bristle brush (like a suede brush) to gently remove loose dirt and restore the nap. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be used.
- Leather: Wipe with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following product instructions.
- Outsole: Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or soft brush to remove dirt and maintain grip.
- Stain Treatment: Address stains immediately. For suede, specific suede cleaning products are recommended. For leather, a mild soap solution can be used, applied sparingly.
- Drying: If wet, stuff the trainers with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight.
- Protection: Consider applying a protective spray specifically designed for suede and leather to help repel water and stains. Reapply periodically as directed by the product.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
Do Not: Machine wash, tumble dry, or use harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the materials.
