FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, while they are rooted in heritage running designs, these are lifestyle trainers meant for daily casual wear, not performance athletics.
Are these trainers waterproof?
They are made of leather and offer some resistance, but they are not fully waterproof and should be treated with a protectant spray for better performance in light moisture.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can ruin the leather.
Do these shoes fit true to size?
The Reebok Glide range generally follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual sneaker size.
Can I replace the insoles?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required for additional arch support.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Use cedar shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the leather retain its shape and minimize deep creases.
Difficulty cleaning the off-white midsole
Use a soft-bristled brush with a gentle soap solution to scrub the rubber sole, then wipe dry with a clean cloth.
Shoes feeling stiff
Apply a leather conditioner sparingly to soften the material and improve flexibility over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Reebok Glide Trainers last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel slightly stiff initially. Wear them for short periods over the first few days to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can damage the material.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
- Protection: Use a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray to guard against the elements and accidental spills.
- Lacing: Ensure laces are kept snug but not over-tightened to maintain the structural integrity of the eyelets.
