Product Information

Full details

This guide is for adult males seeking a stylish and comfortable casual trainer with a nod to retro design. The key benefit is the blend of classic 1970s running shoe aesthetics with modern comfort features like a TPU heel insert and durable outsole. A key consideration is that the natural characteristics of the leather may cause color transfer to other fabrics upon contact. The Train 89 trainers offer a sporty look, featuring suede and oxford materials, a striped grosgrain trim, and signature Polo branding.

FAQs

What materials are the Polo Ralph Lauren Train 89 trainers made of?

The trainers feature a combination of suede, oxford fabric, polyester, and leather for the upper. The lining is primarily polyester and polyurethane, and the outsole is 100% rubber. The midsole is made of EVA.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. The natural materials, especially suede and leather, can be damaged by washing machines. Spot clean with appropriate cleaners and tools.

Do the trainers come with different lace options?

Yes, two sets of laces are included with the trainers, allowing you to customize the look.

How should I store my Train 89 trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a breathable shoe bag. Avoid storing them in damp conditions or direct sunlight.

What does 'color may transfer' mean for this product?

This means that due to the natural dyes used in the materials (like leather or suede), the color might rub off onto other surfaces, such as light-colored clothing, socks, or furniture, particularly when the shoes are new or exposed to moisture. It's advisable to be cautious about contact with such materials.

Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?

The Train 89 trainers are designed as casual sports shoes, inspired by retro running styles. They are best suited for everyday wear and light activities, not for intense athletic performance.

What is the heel height of these trainers?

The product description indicates a 'Flat' heel height, meaning they have a low profile with minimal elevation at the heel.

Troubleshooting

Color transfer onto clothing or furniture.

Minimize contact between the trainers and light-colored materials, especially when the shoes are new or wet. If transfer occurs, clean the affected surface according to its material care instructions.

Suede appears matted or dirty.

Use a dedicated suede brush to restore the nap of the suede. Brush gently in one direction. For tougher stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following product instructions carefully.

Leather scuffs or marks.

For minor scuffs on leather, try a leather conditioner or polish that matches the shoe color. For deeper marks, consult a professional shoe repair service.

Laces wear out or fray.

Replace laces with a new pair of similar length and material. Extra laces are included with the trainers.
