FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or sports?

While tennis-inspired in design, the Reebok Club C 85 Vintage trainers are primarily created for casual wear and everyday comfort. They are not specifically engineered for high-performance running or intense athletic sports activities.

How should I clean the leather upper?

To clean the leather upper, gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For more stubborn marks or stains, use a small amount of specialized leather cleaner, following the cleaner's instructions. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat.

Is the insole removable?

Yes, the Reebok Club C 85 Vintage trainers feature a removable insole. This allows for easy airing to prevent odors or replacement with custom orthotics if preferred.

What materials are these trainers made from?

The upper of these trainers is made from leather, with a soft textile lining. They feature a flexible and soft EVA foam midsole for cushioning and a durable rubber outsole for traction.

Are these shoes true to size (UK 5.5)?

Generally, Reebok Club C models are considered to fit true to size. However, individual foot shapes can vary, so we recommend trying them on to ensure the most optimal comfort and fit for your specific foot.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The leather upper offers some inherent resistance to light moisture, but these trainers are not fully waterproof. Prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet conditions should be avoided, as it can potentially damage the leather and affect the shoe's longevity.

What is the primary benefit of the EVA foam midsole?

The main benefit of the flexible and soft EVA foam midsole is its ability to provide lightweight cushioning and excellent shock absorption. This contributes significantly to the 'undeniable comfort' experienced during daily wear.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or loose.

First, ensure you selected the correct UK size 5.5. The classic lacing system allows for adjustment; try loosening or tightening laces. Consider wearing socks of different thicknesses to optimize the fit.

A squeaking sound occurs when walking.

This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Check if the removable insole is properly seated inside the shoe. Sometimes, a light sprinkle of baby powder or cornstarch under the insole can reduce friction and alleviate squeaking. If the squeak originates from the outsole, it may diminish with normal wear.

The leather upper appears dull or stained.

Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper cleaning or stains, use a specialized leather cleaner designed for white leather, following the product's instructions. Afterwards, apply a leather conditioner to restore shine and suppleness.

Laces frequently come untied during wear.

Ensure you are using a proper double knot or a more secure lacing technique. You might also consider replacing the original laces with new ones that have a different texture or material, which can hold knots more effectively.

Care and Maintenance

  1. Regular Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt and dust. For more stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner, following the product's instructions.
  2. Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, which can damage the leather.
  3. Conditioning: Periodically apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the leather supple, prevent cracking, and maintain its natural luster. (Info needed: recommended frequency for conditioning)
  4. Sole Care: Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and mild soap to remove dirt and debris, which helps maintain optimal traction.
  5. Insole Care: The removable insole can be taken out and aired regularly to prevent odors. If necessary, hand wash with mild soap and allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
  6. Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape when not in use.
