FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for athletic activities?

These trainers are inspired by classic athletic designs but are primarily intended for casual wear. They do not offer the specialized support or cushioning required for intense sports or running.

How should I clean the suede and leather components?

Suede should be brushed regularly and cleaned with a suede-specific cleaner for stains. Leather can be wiped with a damp cloth and treated with a leather conditioner. Avoid soaking the shoes.

What is the fit like for the Bedford trainers?

The trainers are designed with a standard fit. It is recommended to refer to the Polo Ralph Lauren size guide for accurate measurements, as fit can vary based on individual foot shape.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

It is not advisable to wear suede shoes in wet conditions, as moisture can easily stain and damage the material. The leather components may offer some resistance, but the suede is sensitive to water.

What is the inspiration behind the sole design?

The rubber sole features a unique design pattern that pays homage to the Boulevard Saint-Germain, an iconic street in Paris where Ralph Lauren's flagship store is located.

Are these trainers available in other colors?

This guide focuses on the White/Black variant made with Suede and Leather. Please check the product listings for other available colorways and material combinations.

Troubleshooting

Suede looks matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions.

Leather appears scuffed

Use a leather conditioner to help minimize the appearance of minor scuffs. For deeper marks, consult a professional leather repair service.

Laces are worn or frayed

Replace laces with new ones of a similar length and material to maintain the shoe's aesthetic.

Soles are dirty

Wipe the rubber soles clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
