FAQs
Are these sneakers true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard UK sizing for adult men.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing will damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are designed for comfort and general use; it is recommended to keep them in place to ensure the intended fit.
What should I do if I spill liquid on them?
Immediately blot the area with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub the stain, as this can push it deeper into the suede fibers.
Are these suitable for gym use?
While they are inspired by tennis shoes, they are primarily for casual, lifestyle wear rather than intensive athletic workouts.
What is the inspiration behind the sole design?
The sole features a unique pattern inspired by the Boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris, home to the Ralph Lauren flagship store.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are constructed from suede, proper care is essential to ensure longevity. Avoid wearing these shoes in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as suede is prone to water damage. If the shoes get wet, let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators. To keep them clean, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust and a dedicated suede eraser for minor marks. Store the trainers in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or stuffed paper to help maintain their shape when not in use.
