FAQs
Are these sneakers suitable for running?
No, the Glide Ripple is designed as a lifestyle and casual walking shoe, not for high-intensity running or training.
How do I clean the white portions of the shoe?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water for non-suede sections, avoiding any contact with the suede upper.
Is the material waterproof?
No, suede is naturally porous. It is recommended to use a protective spray to make them water-resistant.
Does the suede stretch over time?
Suede has a natural tendency to soften and slightly stretch to accommodate your foot, which enhances comfort with regular use.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing will permanently damage the suede material and compromise the shoe structure.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks matted or worn
Gently use a soft-bristle brush in a circular motion to lift the nap of the suede and restore its texture.
Minor stains on the upper
Use a specialized suede eraser to gently rub the stained area until it lifts, then brush away the residue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Reebok Glide Ripple sneakers last, proper care is essential, especially given the suede composition.
- Protection: Apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray before first use to create a barrier against the elements.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and debris. Avoid using soap and water, as this can damage the material.
- Storage: Keep your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the suede color from fading.
- Compatibility: These trainers feature a UK 5.5 sizing, which aligns with standard athletic sizing. We recommend checking your foot length against the specific UK size guide to ensure the best fit.
