FAQs
Can I use these shoes for running?
While based on a 1980s runner, these are designed for casual lifestyle use rather than professional athletic training.
How do I know if these are the right size for me?
These trainers use standard UK sizing. We recommend choosing your usual footwear size, ensuring a thumb-width of space in the toe box.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the GL1600 contains mesh and suede materials which are porous. They are not designed to be waterproof.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the adhesive and the texture of the suede overlays. Always clean by hand.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is a combination of mesh base layers, hairy suede overlays, and leather side stripes.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede overlays
Gently use a dry suede eraser or soft-bristled brush to buff away surface stains.
Shoes feel tight after a long day
Loosen the lacing system to allow for natural foot swelling and consider wearing thinner socks for better breathability.
Laces fraying over time
Replace with standard flat athletic laces matching the shoe's aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Reebok GL1600 trainers, proper care is essential:
- Initial Protection: Apply a suede-safe water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a protective barrier.
- Cleaning Suede: Use a dedicated suede brush to remove loose dirt or debris. Avoid using soap and water directly on suede as it can ruin the texture.
- Mesh Maintenance: Wipe mesh areas with a damp, soft cloth using a mild detergent if needed. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the brown and gold color pigments from fading over time.
- Sizing: These are standard UK adult sizes; ensure you verify your specific size against the Reebok fit guide to guarantee optimal comfort.
