FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
While based on a 1980s runner design, these are categorized as lifestyle trainers best suited for casual walking rather than intense athletic running.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
These trainers are sized in UK measurements. We recommend checking your foot length against a standard UK size guide to ensure an accurate fit for size 8.5.
Can these be machine washed?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the shoe together. Always use hand-cleaning methods.
Does the leather require special treatment?
Regular cleaning and the occasional application of a leather conditioner or water-repellent spray will help maintain the quality of the material.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather with additional layered overlays for durability.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, if you require custom orthotics, the factory insoles can typically be removed, though be careful to check that the fit remains comfortable.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its luster
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine to the material.
Shoes feel tight after prolonged wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted properly to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.
Accumulation of debris in the lugged sole
Use a soft-bristled brush to clear out pebbles or dirt trapped in the outsole treads.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers are designed for immediate wear right out of the box. To ensure a long life for your Reebok GL1600s:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove loose dirt. Use a specialized leather cleaner for tougher stains.
- Moisture Prevention: Avoid submerging the shoes in water. If they get wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can crack the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
- Protection: Consider applying a leather protectant spray to repel liquids and stains before the first wear.
