Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Polo Ralph Lauren Masters Court Trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. The secure lace closure allows for immediate adjustment to achieve your preferred fit.
- Lace Adjustment: Undo the laces, slide your foot into the trainer, and re-lace, ensuring a snug but not overly tight fit. Adjust the tension evenly across the eyelets.
- Initial Wear: Wear the trainers for short periods initially to allow the leather to naturally mold to the shape of your foot. This helps break them in comfortably.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for broad compatibility with casual and smart-casual attire. They complement:
- Jeans and denim
- Chinos and casual trousers
- Shorts (for a sporty casual look)
- Polo shirts, T-shirts, casual button-downs, and light sweaters
Their timeless design makes them a versatile addition to any adult male's wardrobe.
Care Instructions
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather trainers.
- Regular Cleaning: After each wear, gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and light dirt.
- Deep Cleaning (Leather): For stubborn dirt or scuffs, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft cloth. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
- Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner every few months to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This also helps maintain its natural luster.
- Drying: If trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can dry out and crack the leather.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh detergents, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the leather and finishes.
