FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
Polo Ralph Lauren trainers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your standard UK shoe size. If you are unsure, trying them on with your typical socks is the best approach.
Can I use these trainers for athletic activities or running?
While comfortable and durable, these trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes rather than high-performance athletic activities or running. Their construction prioritizes style and everyday comfort over specialized sports performance.
How do I best clean the premium leather upper?
For routine cleaning, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with a small amount of leather-specific soap or cleaner. Always wipe off excess moisture and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid harsh chemicals.
What is the material of the sole?
The sole is made from a chunky, durable rubber, which provides reliable grip and adds to the trainer's modern aesthetic.
Do these trainers offer good arch support?
The Master Court Trainers feature a cushioned footbed designed for optimal comfort, which provides a good level of general support for everyday wear. For specific arch support needs, custom insoles can often be used.
Will the leather crease over time?
Yes, as with most genuine leather footwear, natural creasing will occur over time, especially in areas where the foot bends. This is a normal characteristic of leather and adds to the unique character of the trainers.
Troubleshooting
Scuff marks or light scratches on leather
For minor scuffs, try gently rubbing with a soft, clean cloth. For deeper marks, a specialized leather cleaner or polish in a matching color can help. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner. This will rehydrate the leather, keeping it supple and preventing cracks. Follow the product's instructions for application.
Trainers develop an odor
Allow the trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry separately. Use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors.
Squeaking sound when walking
Often, squeaking comes from friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole and sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, then replace the insole.
Difficulty keeping trainers clean (especially lighter colors)
Regular and immediate cleaning is key. For white or light-colored leather, a dedicated white shoe cleaner or a gentle solution of mild soap and water applied with a soft cloth can work wonders. Consider using a leather protector spray to help prevent stains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Master Court Trainers is straightforward, and proper care will ensure their longevity and appearance.
Initial Setup
- Unboxing: Carefully remove the trainers from their packaging.
- Inspect: Check for any manufacturing imperfections (unlikely with Polo Ralph Lauren's quality, but good practice).
- Try On: Wear the trainers with the type of socks you typically use. Walk around to ensure the fit is comfortable and true to size (UK 9 for this specific variant). Allow for a small break-in period as leather molds to your foot.
Sizing Compatibility
These trainers are designed for adult men and are available in various UK sizes. Always refer to your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying both the smaller and larger option to find your optimal fit, especially since leather can stretch slightly with wear.
Product Care & Maintenance
Your Master Court Trainers feature premium leather uppers, which require specific care to maintain their quality and appearance.
- Regular Cleaning:
- Wipe Down: After each wear, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away dust and light dirt from the leather.
- Deeper Clean (Leather): For stubborn marks, use a damp cloth with a small amount of mild soap formulated for leather, or a specialized leather cleaner. Apply sparingly, rub gently, and then wipe off with a clean, damp cloth.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use abrasive cleaners, strong detergents, or solvents, as these can damage the leather.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap and water to clean the rubber outsole and remove dirt from the tread pattern.
- Drying: If the trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can crack or warp leather.
- Conditioning: Every few months, or as needed, apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking. Follow the conditioner manufacturer's instructions.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray before initial wear and periodically thereafter to help repel water and stains.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and absorb moisture when not in use. Avoid crushing them or storing them in damp environments.
- Lace Care: Laces can be removed and hand-washed with mild soap and water if they become dirty.
