Product Information
Full details
The Polo Ralph Lauren Bedford trainers are designed for men seeking a sophisticated, tennis-inspired aesthetic for casual daily wear. Combining 1980s retro styling with modern craftsmanship, these trainers offer a clean look that pairs easily with both denim and tailored trousers; however, prospective buyers should note that as leather footwear, they require consistent maintenance to keep the white finish pristine.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Bedford series generally fits true to standard UK sizing, though individual foot shape may impact fit during the break-in period.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, you should never machine wash leather trainers as the cycle can ruin the material and weaken the adhesive in the soles.
What is the inspiration behind the sole design?
The sole features a custom design that pays homage to Boulevard Saint-Germain, the famous street in Paris where the Polo Ralph Lauren flagship store is located.
Do I need to break these in?
As with most high-quality leather footwear, a short break-in period is recommended to allow the leather to soften and mold to your foot shape.
Are these suitable for sports?
While styled after 1980s tennis shoes, these are designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern high-intensity sports.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is a natural occurrence in high-quality leather; using shoe trees when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creasing.
Scuff marks on the white surface
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft eraser-style sneaker cleaner to gently buff away dark surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Bedford trainers last, apply a leather protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and dirt. Because these are primarily white leather shoes, use a damp cloth and mild soap to gently wipe away scuffs as they appear. Avoid machine washing or drying, as the heat and agitation can damage the leather and the integrity of the sole's bond. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or yellowing over time.
