FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

While based on a heritage high-mileage silhouette, the GL 1600 is intended as a lifestyle trainer for daily use rather than a technical performance running shoe.

How should I clean the suede material?

Use a specialized suede brush or cleaning kit. Avoid using water directly on the suede unless using a product specifically designed for that material.

Do these trainers fit true to size?

Yes, the GL 1600 is designed with a standard regular fit, consistent with most Reebok adult lifestyle footwear.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No. Submerging suede in water and agitation in a washing machine will damage the material and may ruin the structure of the shoe.

What is the best way to store them?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the Brown and Grey colour tones from fading over time.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears scuffed or matted

Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently rub the affected area in a single direction to restore the nap.

Shoes feel tight after prolonged wear

Ensure the laces are not pulled too tightly across the bridge of the foot and consider using a thinner sock if needed.

Water spots on the upper

Lightly dampen the entire surface of the suede with a specialized cleaner and allow to dry completely to ensure an even finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile lifestyle aesthetic inspired by archive classics
  • High-quality suede material provides a premium texture
  • Reliable, regular fit for all-day comfort
  • Timeless design that blends heritage with modern trends

Cons

  • Suede material is sensitive to water and mud
  • Not intended for heavy-duty long-distance running
  • Requires regular maintenance to keep colours vibrant

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The GL 1600 features a standard lace-up closure allowing for a personalized, secure fit. To ensure the longevity of the suede upper, avoid wearing these trainers in heavy rain or excessively muddy environments. If the shoes become dirty, use a specialized suede brush to gently lift debris. For deeper cleaning, utilize a dedicated suede cleaner and allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the material to stiffen or discolour.
