FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No. Machine washing will permanently ruin the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the trainers.

Are these suitable for gym use?

The GL1600 is designed for lifestyle and casual wear; they lack the advanced technical support required for high-impact sports.

How do I maintain the beige color?

Regularly brush the nap and avoid wearing them in muddy or wet conditions to prevent staining.

Is the sizing true to size?

Yes, they are designed with a regular fit that is generally consistent with standard adult shoe sizing.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles can be removed and replaced with custom orthotics if required for additional support.

Troubleshooting

Surface dirt on suede

Use a suede eraser or soft-bristled brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap.

Water spots on suede

Dab the area with a clean cloth to absorb moisture, then allow to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.

Fit feels slightly tight

Ensure laces are properly loosened; suede can soften and provide more room with consistent use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your GL1600 trainers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in Period: While they offer a regular fit, allow for a short period of wear to let the suede adapt to your foot.
  2. Protective Treatment: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before the first wear to guard against spills and light rain.
  3. Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and dust. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the texture and color.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the beige pigments from fading.
  5. Compatibility: Best paired with socks that offer moisture-wicking properties to keep the interior fresh during extended wear.
