Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
While the GL1600 originated as a distance silhouette in the 1980s, this modern version is intended primarily for lifestyle and casual wear.
How should I clean the suede panels?

No. The suede material will be damaged by excess water and agitation in a washing machine.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers are constructed with suede, they require specific attention. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or muddy conditions, as water and dirt can easily stain the delicate nap of the material. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt gently. For deeper stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser. Ensure they are kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. They fit true to size as per standard UK adult sizing conventions.
