FAQs
What is the primary material of the Bedford trainers?

Are these trainers suitable for sports activities?
While inspired by tennis shoes, they are designed primarily for casual wear and everyday comfort, not for athletic performance.
How should I clean the suede parts?
Use a specialized suede brush for regular cleaning and a suede cleaner for stains. Always protect with a suede protector spray.
What does the sole design represent?
The rubber sole features a unique design that pays homage to the Boulevard Saint-Germain, an iconic street in Paris.
What is the heel height of these trainers?
The trainers have a flat heel height for comfort and stability.

Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or dirty
Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated suede cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Laces fraying
Replace laces with new ones. You can often find matching or complementary laces at shoe care retailers.
Leather creases or scuffs
Minor creases may naturally appear with wear. For scuffs on leather, try a leather conditioner or a colored shoe polish if applicable to the shoe's color.
Soles feel slippery on certain surfaces
Ensure the soles are clean. For persistent slipperiness, consider having a cobbler add a protective sole layer or perform a light roughening of the sole.
