FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by tennis heritage and are not designed for long-distance or high-intensity running.

Does the gold branding fade easily?

The branding is applied to last, but avoid scrubbing the gold areas directly with abrasive brushes to keep the metallic finish intact.

Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?

No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesive of the cupsole. Use manual cleaning methods only.

How does the sizing run?

The Reebok Club C 85 generally fits true to size, providing a standard width that suits most foot shapes.

Is the leather upper waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant to a degree, but it is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to prevent water spots and potential leather damage.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or dusty

Use a damp cloth to wipe away surface debris, then apply a small amount of leather conditioner to restore the shine.

Laces coming untied frequently

Double-knot the laces or swap them for slightly textured laces that provide more friction for the knot.

Creasing at the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the leather's natural shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Reebok Club C 85 trainers last as long as possible, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper regularly with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals that may strip the black pigment.
  2. Leather Care: Use a leather conditioner periodically to keep the material supple and prevent cracking.
  3. Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black leather and gold branding over time.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a standard lacing system. If you prefer a different fit, ensure your replacement laces match the slim profile of the eyelets to maintain the intended aesthetic.
