FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Reebok GL1600 typically fits true to standard UK adult sizes; however, since they are leather, they may feel snug at first before molding to your feet.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. The leather and suede materials can be permanently damaged by machine washing and high heat.
Are these suitable for long-distance running?
While they feature cushioning, these are considered lifestyle retro runners and are best suited for walking and casual wear rather than high-mileage training.
How do I remove salt stains from the winter?
Use a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar on a soft cloth, dab gently, and allow to air dry away from sunlight.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from leather with layered suede overlays for both style and durability.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede overlays
Use a dry, soft-bristle suede brush to gently remove surface debris. Avoid using soap and water.
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creasing.
Slippery insoles
Ensure the interior is completely dry after use; if moisture persists, place the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because the GL1600 uses natural suede and leather, proper maintenance is vital for longevity. Avoid submerging the shoes in water. Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and a leather cleaner for the overlays to prevent cracking. We recommend wearing a water-repellent spray specifically formulated for suede and leather to protect against spills and moisture. When sizing, ensure your foot is measured accurately, as the leather construction has less natural stretch than fabric-based trainers.
