FAQs
What materials are the Polo Ralph Lauren Train 89 Trainers made from?
These trainers feature an upper crafted from a combination of tonal suede and leather, with a rubber outsole.
How should I clean the suede parts of my trainers?
For suede, use a suede brush to remove dirt and restore the nap. A suede eraser can help with marks, and a suede protector spray is recommended for water and stain resistance. Avoid water where possible.
Can I wear these trainers for sports or running?
The Train 89 Trainers are designed for casual wear and style, offering comfort and support for everyday activities. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance sports or running.
What contributes to the stability of these trainers?
A TPU heel insert is incorporated into the design to enhance support and stability during wear.
Are these trainers suitable for wet weather?
Due to the suede components, it is best to avoid heavy rain or very wet conditions, as suede can be susceptible to water damage and staining. Applying a suede protector spray can offer some resistance.
How do I maintain the leather sections of the trainers?
The leather sections can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Periodically, you should apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying or cracking.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a suede eraser or a specialized suede cleaning kit.
Leather looks dull or has minor scuffs.
Clean the leather with a damp cloth to remove dirt, then apply a good quality leather conditioner to restore shine and nourish the material. For scuffs, a matching leather polish can help.
Trainers feel less grippy than usual.
Inspect the treaded rubber outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and water to remove any dirt impacting traction. If treads are significantly worn, replacement may be needed.
Unpleasant odor from trainers.
Ensure you wear socks to absorb moisture. After each wear, allow the trainers to air out completely. Consider using shoe deodorizers or cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and neutralize odors.
Trainers feel uncomfortable after initial wear.
Like many shoes made with premium materials, a short break-in period may be necessary. Wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape. Ensure you have the correct size.

- Protect: Apply a suede protector spray before first wear and periodically thereafter to repel water and stains. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Avoid Water: Suede is highly susceptible to water damage. Avoid wearing in heavy rain or wet conditions.
Leather Areas:
- Wipe Clean: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and dust. For tougher grime, a mild leather cleaner can be applied.

General Care:
- Air Out: Allow your trainers to air out after each wear to prevent odor and moisture buildup.
