FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Club C 85 follows standard sizing; however, since it is a slim-profile leather trainer, some users with wider feet may prefer to size up by half.

Can I use these for sports?

While originally designed for tennis, these are now categorized as lifestyle trainers and are best suited for casual, everyday activities rather than high-intensity athletics.

How do I remove salt or mud stains?

Gently wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-specific cleanser and wipe clean immediately.

Does the gold branding fade?

The branding is durable, but avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive chemicals directly on the gold accents to ensure they remain vibrant.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles in the Club C 85 are generally removable, allowing you to swap them for custom orthotics if preferred.

Is the leather waterproof?

The leather is not inherently waterproof. Applying a water-repellent spray designed for leather can help protect them from light rain.

Troubleshooting

Leather appearing dull or dry

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner periodically to restore moisture and maintain the finish.

Creasing at the toe box

Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the leather settle back into its original form and reduce deep creasing.

Excessive scuffs on the leather

Use a matching black leather cream or polish to touch up the affected areas and buff with a soft cloth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Reebok Club C 85 trainers stay in peak condition, proper care is essential. Since they are constructed from full-grain leather, avoid machine washing, which can damage the material and adhesives. Instead, clean the exterior using a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner if necessary. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to stiffen. To maintain the structural integrity, store them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help the leather retain its shape during periods of non-use. For best compatibility, wear with low-profile socks to maintain the clean, slim aesthetic of the collar area.
