FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While the GLIDE RIPPLE is comfortable, it is designed for casual daily wear and light activity. It is not specifically engineered as a high-performance running shoe.
How should I clean the white accents on the shoe?
Use a gentle cloth dampened with mild soapy water to wipe down the white sole and trim, taking care to avoid getting the suede upper wet.
Is the sizing true to fit?
Yes, Reebok standard sizing generally runs true. However, because these are suede, they may have a slightly snugger feel initially compared to leather models before they break in.
Can I wear these in the rain?
Suede is sensitive to moisture. While they will not immediately ruin, prolonged exposure to heavy rain should be avoided to maintain the material quality.
Does the ripple sole track dirt?
The ripple design can sometimes trap small debris. If you walk on gravel, it is a good habit to tap the soles together before entering indoor areas.
Are these trainers Unisex?
While this specific model is categorized for men, the classic design and colorway are often popular as unisex footwear; ensure you consult the size conversion chart for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
The suede is showing minor water spots or stains
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft, dry cloth to gently rub the affected area. Avoid using heavy detergents or excess water.
Laces constantly come untied
Ensure you are using a double-knot or tucking the excess lace length into the side of the shoe for a cleaner, more secure hold.
Inner sole feels less cushioned over time
The OrthoLite sockliners are removable. You can replace them with third-party orthopedic insoles if you require specific arch support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers arrive with a standard lace-up configuration. We recommend loosening the laces fully before your first wear to adjust the tension across the bridge of your foot to your preference.
Compatibility: The classic aesthetic pairs well with jeans, chinos, or athletic joggers. Given the black and white color scheme, they serve as a neutral base for a wide variety of casual outfits.
Care Instructions:
- Use a soft-bristle brush regularly to remove dry dirt or dust from the suede nap.
- Apply a dedicated suede protector spray to help repel water and prevent staining.
- If the shoes get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp or stiffen the suede.
- Avoid machine washing, as water immersion can damage the suede texture and compromise the bond of the adhesives.
