Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Your Polo Ralph Lauren Masters Court Trainers arrive ready to wear. Simply unbox, loosen the laces, slip them on, and adjust for a comfortable fit.
Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adult males (and can be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates their style and fit) and are highly versatile in terms of wardrobe compatibility:
- Casual Wear: Excellent with jeans, shorts, and casual trousers.
- Smart-Casual: Can elevate chinos, tailored trousers, and even certain suits for a modern, relaxed aesthetic.
- Seasonal: Suitable for all seasons, though care is advised in heavy rain or snow due to the leather material.
Care & Maintenance
To ensure your premium leather trainers remain in pristine condition and last for years, follow these care instructions:
- Regular Cleaning: For general dirt and dust, wipe the leather surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. For white leather, consider a specialized white leather cleaner to remove scuffs and marks.
- Deep Cleaning (as needed):
- Remove laces. Using a soft brush or cloth, apply a small amount of mild leather cleaner (specific for white leather) to the uppers.
- Gently scrub in circular motions.
- Wipe off excess cleaner with a clean, damp cloth.
- Allow to air dry completely, away from direct sunlight or heat.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) and mild soap and water to clean the rubber outsole and sides.
- Conditioning: After cleaning and drying, apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. This is especially important for white leather to maintain its finish.
- Protection: Apply a water and stain protector spray suitable for leather before the first wear and reapply periodically. This helps guard against water damage and spills.
- Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place, ideally with shoe trees to help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in direct sunlight.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the leather and structural integrity of the trainers.
