FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, while they are based on an 80s distance silhouette, they are currently intended for lifestyle and casual wear, not performance athletic training.
How do I ensure I get the correct size?
The GL 1600 comes in a standard 'Regular' fit; choose your usual UK shoe size for the most accurate fit.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can severely damage the suede material and compromise the structural integrity of the trainers.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from high-quality suede, which provides the distinctive texture and look.
Is the colour scheme gender-specific?
While listed for men, the earth-tone palette of Dark Cocoa and New Grey is highly versatile and can be styled by anyone.
Troubleshooting
Surface dirt on the suede
Allow the mud to dry completely, then use a suede brush to gently whisk away the dried particles.
Suede nap appearing matted or flat
Use a specialized suede brush or a clean pencil eraser to gently rub the area in a circular motion to lift the fibers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready for immediate wear. To ensure the longest possible lifespan for your GL 1600s, follow these care instructions:
- Preventive Treatment: Apply a protective suede-specific spray before the first wear to repel water and surface stains.
- Regular Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dust and restore the nap of the material.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the suede to stiffen or crack.
- Storage: Keep them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to maintain their shape when not in use.
