FAQs
How do I determine my correct size?
Polo Ralph Lauren trainers generally run true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, especially considering personal preference for snugness. If between sizes, consider your usual preference for casual footwear.
Can these trainers be worn in the rain?
While the leather is durable, these trainers are not fully waterproof. We recommend applying a leather protector spray to enhance water resistance. Avoid heavy rain to protect the leather and maintain their appearance.
Are the insoles removable?
The cushioned footbed is integrated for optimal comfort. While it can often be gently lifted, it is generally not designed for regular removal or replacement with custom orthotics without potentially affecting the shoe's internal structure and comfort profile.
What is the best way to store these trainers when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees (preferably cedar) can help maintain their shape, absorb moisture, and keep them fresh. Keep them in their original box or a shoe bag to prevent dust accumulation.
Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?
The Master Court Trainers offer a standard fit. Individuals with wider feet may find them snug initially. The premium leather will soften and conform over time, but for significant width needs, it's best to try them on.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency of conditioning depends on how often you wear them and the climate. For regular wear, conditioning every 1-2 months is a good guideline. In drier climates or with heavy use, you might condition more frequently to prevent the leather from drying out.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or marks on the leather.
For light scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, clean cloth. For deeper marks, a specialized leather cleaner or conditioner, followed by a leather polish in a matching color, may help to minimize their appearance.
Trainers feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
As premium leather, a short break-in period is common. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to the shape of your feet. Ensure you're wearing appropriate socks.
Squeaking sound from the sole.
Squeaking can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe or the insole. Try removing the insole and dusting a small amount of talcum powder underneath it. If the squeak persists, ensure the sole is clean and dry.
Foot odor.
Ensure you wear breathable socks and allow the trainers to air out between wears. Using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees can help absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Outsole losing grip.
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any embedded dirt or debris that might be reducing traction. If the tread pattern is significantly worn down, replacement might be necessary (Info needed: Is outsole replaceable? Generally not for trainers).

Care Instructions
To ensure your premium leather Master Court Trainers maintain their quality and appearance for years, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, apply a high-quality leather protector spray. This creates a barrier against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning: After each use, gently wipe down the leather uppers with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and light dirt. For tougher marks, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild leather cleaner, then wipe dry immediately.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically, use a dedicated leather cleaner to remove accumulated dirt. Follow the product instructions carefully.
- Conditioning: Leather can dry out over time. Apply a leather conditioner every few weeks or months, depending on wear, to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. This also helps restore its natural luster.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a stiff brush or an old toothbrush with mild soap and water to clean the rubber outsole and remove dirt from the tread pattern.
- Storage: When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the leather.
