FAQs
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, due to the suede and leather materials, these trainers are not waterproof. They offer limited resistance to light moisture, but it's best to avoid heavy rain or wet conditions. We recommend applying a water and stain repellent spray for added protection.
How do I choose the correct size?
These trainers are available in UK size 9 for adults. For best fit, we recommend trying them on. Generally, Polo Ralph Lauren sizing is consistent with standard UK adult shoe sizes. Consider your usual trainer size.
Can I use these for running or sports?
These trainers are designed for casual wear and offer comfort and support for daily activities. They are not engineered for high-performance running or intense sports, which require specialized athletic footwear.
What is the best way to clean the suede part?
For suede, use a dry suede brush to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, apply a small amount of specialized suede cleaner on a clean cloth, rub gently, and then brush the nap back into place once dry. Always test cleaning products on an inconspicuous area first.
Will the colours (Black, Cast Grey, Silver) fade over time?
Like all materials, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause some fading. Proper storage away from harsh light and regular cleaning and conditioning can help preserve the original colours.
What is the TPU heel insert for?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) heel insert provides enhanced support and stability to the heel area. This helps to maintain foot alignment and offers a more secure and comfortable stride.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears dull or dirty
Use a specialized suede brush to lift dirt and restore the nap. For tougher marks, use a suede eraser or a suede-specific cleaning solution.
Leather looks scuffed or dry
Gently clean with a damp cloth and then apply a leather conditioner or cream suitable for trainers to moisturize and protect the material. Buff with a soft cloth.
Trainers feel less supportive over time
Ensure laces are tied securely but not too tightly. If comfort insoles are removable, consider replacing them if they are worn out, as this can affect overall support.
Reduced grip on outsole
Regularly clean the treaded rubber outsole to remove any embedded dirt or small stones that might compromise grip. Inspect for excessive wear; if the tread is significantly worn, performance will naturally decrease.

Care & Maintenance
Proper care is essential to preserve the look and longevity of your suede and leather trainers. Follow these guidelines:
- Initial Protection: Before first wear, treat the suede and leather with a high-quality water and stain repellent spray specifically designed for these materials. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Regular Cleaning: For suede, use a specialized suede brush to gently remove dirt and dust. For leather, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a cleaner formulated for suede and leather, following the product instructions carefully.
- Spot Cleaning: Address spills immediately. Blot liquids with a clean cloth. For dried stains, use appropriate cleaners as mentioned above.
- Drying: If your trainers get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and absorb moisture.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your trainers. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
