FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Polo Ralph Lauren trainers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size for the best fit. (This specific model is UK 11).
Can I wear these trainers in the rain?
While the trainers have a durable rubber outsole, the suede and leather upper is not inherently waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to protect the materials. Applying a water-repellent spray can offer some protection against light moisture.
How often should I clean the suede and leather?
Regular maintenance, such as brushing suede and wiping leather after a few wears, is recommended. A more thorough clean, using specialized products, should be done as needed, depending on usage and exposure to dirt.
Are these suitable for running or sports?
The Train 89 Trainers are designed for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for high-performance running or intense sports. Their construction prioritizes style, support, and grip for general daily activities.
How do I prevent creasing on the leather?
While some creasing is natural with wear, storing your trainers with shoe trees or crumpled paper inside can help maintain their shape and minimize excessive creasing when not in use. Regular conditioning of the leather can also help.
What is the TPU heel insert for?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) heel insert is a durable and flexible component designed to provide enhanced support and stability to the heel area, contributing to overall comfort and balance during wear.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or shiny
Gently brush the affected area with a suede brush to restore the nap and texture. For stubborn spots, use a suede eraser.
Leather appears dry or creased
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner with a clean cloth. Rub in circular motions and allow to absorb before buffing gently.
Trainers are squeaking
Check if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe; removing and dusting with baby powder or replacing the insole can often help. If the squeak is from the sole, it may be a manufacturing issue.
Foul odor from trainers
Remove insoles and air out. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside the trainers overnight, then shake out. Ensure socks are worn to absorb moisture.
Sole appears to have reduced grip
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be impacting traction. Inspect for excessive wear.

Product Care & Maintenance
Proper care is essential to preserve the quality and appearance of your suede and leather trainers.
- Regular Cleaning: After each use, gently brush off loose dirt and dust with a soft-bristled brush, especially for the suede areas.
- Spot Cleaning: For minor marks on suede, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning brush. For leather, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap (if necessary), then dry immediately.
- Deep Cleaning (Suede): For deeper stains, use a suede cleaner solution following product instructions. Apply sparingly and brush gently.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): Use a leather cleaner and conditioner to clean and moisturize the leather, preventing cracking and maintaining suppleness.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for suede and leather to help protect against moisture and spills. Reapply periodically.
- Drying: If trainers get wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use shoe trees or stuff with paper to help maintain their shape.
