FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the GL1600 is designed as a lifestyle trainer for casual daily wear and does not contain the advanced cushioning required for running.
How should I clean the linen parts of the shoe?
Spot clean using a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
Does the size 8.5 fit true to size?
Yes, these trainers are designed with a regular fit that is generally consistent with standard UK sizing.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional comfort.
What materials are used in the construction?
This specific model features a premium linen construction layered to maintain the classic 1980s look.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface dirt on the linen upper
Gently brush the area with a dry, soft brush before attempting spot cleaning with a damp cloth.
Creasing in the upper material
Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the trainers maintain their original shape.
Discolouration of the cream accents
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and moisture, which can cause the light-coloured fabrics to yellow or fade.
Pros and Cons

- Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear

Setup, Compatibility & Care
The GL1600 fits true to size, offering a regular fit that accommodates standard foot widths. No specific break-in period is typically required, though wearing them for short periods initially is recommended. To maintain the appearance, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface dust after each wear. For deep cleaning, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the linen sections with a mild soap solution and a damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or discolouration.
