FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Club C 85 is designed as a casual lifestyle trainer and does not provide the technical support required for running.

How do I ensure I have the right size?

These trainers feature a regular fit. It is recommended to choose your standard sneaker size for the best comfort.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash leather trainers, as the water and agitation can damage the material and adhesives.

Does the gold branding fade?

While durable, excessive rubbing or harsh cleaning chemicals may affect the gold branding over time. Clean gently around these areas.

What is the primary material used?

The exterior upper is made from high-quality leather, supported by a high-abrasion rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

This is normal for leather footwear; use shoe trees when not wearing to help maintain shape and minimize deep creases.

Stiff leather feel during initial wear

Leather shoes often require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for short durations indoors to soften the material gradually.

Difficulty cleaning white soles

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a mild soap and water mixture with a soft-bristled brush.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Club C 85 trainers, it is recommended to use a leather-specific cleaner and conditioner to keep the material hydrated and free from scuffs. Always allow shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to stiffen. For compatibility, the standard lacing system works well with various knots, though tight lacing is recommended if you have a narrower foot to maintain a secure fit. Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use to preserve the integrity of the cupsole and inner lining.
