FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Reebok GL1600 generally fits true to standard UK adult sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may consider a half-size up for extra comfort.
Can I use these for running?
While these are inspired by vintage runners, they are designed for lifestyle and casual wear rather than modern high-performance athletic running.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Gently scrub the mesh with a soft cloth dipped in a mixture of mild soap and water, being careful not to oversaturate the shoe.
Are the materials waterproof?
No, the trainers feature suede and mesh which are porous materials. It is recommended to use a protective spray to make them water-resistant.
Does the gold accent fade?
Like any colored material, prolonged exposure to harsh UV light can lead to fading. Store your trainers in a shaded area to maintain color vibrancy.
Troubleshooting
Visible surface stains on suede overlays
Use a specialized suede eraser or a soft-bristled brush to gently lift the stain without wetting the material.
Creasing in the leather side stripes
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Outsole losing grip due to debris
Use a damp cloth or a firm brush to clear out pebbles or dirt from the lugs on the rubber outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Reebok GL1600 trainers, proper care is essential:
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the suede and mesh areas. For leather components, wipe gently with a damp, soft cloth.
- Moisture Protection: Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for suede and leather to protect the surface from accidental spills or weather exposure.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the brown and gold pigments to fade over time.
- Maintenance: Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this will damage the leather and adhesive integrity of the trainer.
