FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Club C 85 is a heritage casual trainer and does not feature the specialized cushioning or support required for running.

How do I maintain the gold branding?

Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes over the gold logo areas to prevent fading or scratching.

Is the leather upper waterproof?

The leather is naturally water-resistant but not waterproof; we recommend applying a standard leather protector spray for extra defense.

Does this shoe come in wide widths?

The Club C 85 features a standard fit. If you have particularly wide feet, you may find the leather stretches slightly over time.

Can I replace the insoles?

The internal liners are designed to be comfortable as provided, but you can use thin orthotic inserts if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the toe box area

Use a shoe tree when not in use to help the leather maintain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Stiff leather feel

Wear the shoes for short periods initially and apply a leather conditioner to soften the fibers.

Outsole losing traction

Wipe the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth to remove built-up dirt or floor wax that may cause slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best experience, ensure you select your standard UK shoe size to account for the regular fit. To keep your Club C 85 trainers in top condition:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dirt and dust.
  2. Leather Care: Apply a leather-safe conditioner occasionally to prevent the material from cracking.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the adhesive and leather from drying out.
  4. Laces: Regularly tighten or loosen the laces to prevent unnecessary tension on the eyelets.
