FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While the GL 1600 was originally based on a high-mileage distance shoe from the 80s, the current lifestyle version is optimized for walking and casual wear rather than modern performance running.

How should I clean the suede?

Use a dry suede brush or a specialized suede cleaning kit. Avoid using water or soap as they can damage the texture of the suede.

What sizes are available?

The GL 1600 is available in various UK adult sizes ranging from 5.5 to 11, including half-size options for many fits.

Can I wear these in the rain?

It is recommended to avoid wearing suede trainers in heavy rain, as water can leave permanent spots and cause the material to stiffen or lose its quality.

Do they run true to size?

Generally, Reebok trainers follow standard UK sizing; it is recommended to buy your normal shoe size.

What is the secondary colour on this model?

This specific variant features New Grey structural details to complement the Dark and Light Cocoa earthy tones.

Troubleshooting

Surface dirt accumulation

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently stroke the fabric in one direction to lift dirt.

Material scuffing

Use a suede eraser to lightly buff out minor marks without damaging the underlying material.

Odour buildup

Remove the insoles after use and place the shoes in a well-ventilated area to air out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Reebok GL 1600 trainers maintain their aesthetic, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners. For cleaning, use a dedicated suede brush to gently remove surface dirt and maintain the nap of the material. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Compatibility-wise, these trainers pair well with denim, chinos, or casual trousers, reflecting their origins as a versatile lifestyle silhouette.
