FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The Reebok Glide Ripple trainers are designed for casual wear and light activities. While they offer cushioning for walking, they are not specifically engineered for the demands of running and may not provide adequate support or impact protection for serious runners.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
Refer to the sizing guide provided by Reebok. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Trying them on is the best way to ensure a comfortable fit, with about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
It is not recommended to machine wash the Reebok Glide Ripple trainers as it can damage the materials and construction. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method for cleaning.
What does 'Ripple' in the name refer to?
The 'Ripple' in Glide Ripple refers to the distinctive wave-like pattern on the outsole, which is designed to provide visual interest, cushioning, and improved traction.
What is the main difference between these and other Reebok trainers?
The Glide Ripple series is characterized by its unique ripple-patterned sole and a focus on combining retro-inspired style with modern comfort for everyday wear.
Are these trainers waterproof?
No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are made from materials suitable for general wear and will not provide protection against heavy rain or water immersion.
Can the insoles be removed to accommodate custom orthotics?
The insoles in most Reebok trainers, including the Glide Ripple, are typically removable. This allows space for custom orthotics or alternative insoles if needed, though fit may vary.
Troubleshooting
Minor scuffs on the sole
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be carefully used on the rubber sole.
Laces becoming dirty
Remove laces and hand wash with mild detergent, or machine wash in a garment bag on a gentle cycle. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
Slight stiffness on first wear
Wear the trainers around the house for short periods to allow them to break in naturally. Avoid prolonged strenuous activity until they feel comfortable.
Odors developing
Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Use odor-absorbing insoles or spray the inside with a fabric refresher designed for shoes. Allow shoes to air out completely between wears.
