FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The Reebok Glide Ripple is designed primarily for casual, lifestyle, and everyday wear rather than intense athletic running.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No. Submerging suede shoes in water and machine washing will damage the material and structure of the shoe.
Does the suede material get dirty easily?
Like all suede, it is susceptible to water and dirt. Applying a protector spray immediately after purchase is highly recommended.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is crafted from high-quality, soft suede for a premium vintage look.
Is the sole flexible?
Yes, the midsole is designed to be lightweight and flexible, providing comfort for all-day use.
How do I maintain the white parts of the shoe?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down white leather or synthetic accents, being careful not to let the water touch the suede.
Troubleshooting
Suede looks dull or flat
Use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently stroke the fabric in one direction to lift the fibers.
Surface scuffs on the suede
Gently rub the area with a rubber suede eraser to lift the fibers and remove minor marks.
Outsole loses traction due to debris
Use a stiff brush to clear dirt, stones, or mud trapped within the ripples of the outsole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Reebok Glide Ripple trainers stay in peak condition, proper care is essential, especially given the suede material.
- Initial Protection: Before wearing, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray to create a protective barrier.
- Cleaning: Use a specialized suede brush to remove loose dirt and restore the nap of the material. Avoid soaking the suede in water.
- Stain Removal: Use a white eraser or a specific suede cleaning block to gently lift surface stains.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading. Use cedar shoe trees to help maintain the shape of the trainers when not in use.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard Reebok sizing; ensure you are using the correct UK 5.5 conversion for your foot profile.
