FAQs
Are these trainers true to size?
The Reebok Club C 85 Vintage typically runs true to size. However, fit can vary slightly based on individual foot shape. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size for the best fit. The classic lacing system allows for some adjustment.
Can I use these shoes for running or sports?
These trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and light recreational activities. While inspired by tennis shoes, they are not engineered for high-performance running, intense sports, or rigorous athletic training. For those activities, dedicated athletic footwear is recommended.
How do I clean the leather upper of these shoes?
To clean the leather, wipe off loose dirt with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild leather cleaner applied to a cloth, gently rubbing the affected area. After cleaning and drying, apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. Always air dry away from direct heat.
Is the insole removable?
Yes, the Reebok Club C 85 Vintage features a removable EVA foam insole. This allows for easy cleaning, airing out, or replacement with custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the leather upper is not inherently waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but are not designed for heavy rain or wet conditions. For improved water resistance, you may consider applying a leather protector spray.
What is EVA foam?
EVA stands for Ethylene-vinyl acetate. It's a lightweight, flexible, and soft material commonly used in shoe midsoles and insoles to provide cushioning, shock absorption, and comfort. It contributes significantly to the 'soft and flexible' feel of these trainers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing system. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmer. For a looser fit, slacken them. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks for your foot size. Consider trying different lacing techniques for specific fit issues.
Foot discomfort or pressure points.
Check if the removable EVA foam insole is positioned correctly. If discomfort persists, try wearing the shoes with custom orthotics or alternative insoles. Ensure your socks are not bunched up. Give the leather a bit more time to conform to your foot.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a little baby powder or cornstarch inside the shoe, and then reinserting the insole. Also, check the outsole for any embedded debris.
Leather appears dull or dry.
Clean the leather upper using a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Once dry, apply a quality leather conditioner or cream. This will nourish the leather, restore its sheen, and protect it from drying out.
Lack of grip on certain surfaces.
Inspect the rubber outsole for excessive wear or embedded dirt/debris. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a brush and soapy water. If the sole is significantly worn, traction will naturally decrease over time.

Care Instructions
- Cleaning the Leather Upper:
- Wipe Down: Gently wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove loose dirt and dust.
- Spot Clean: For tougher spots, use a mild leather cleaner diluted with water. Apply to a cloth, not directly to the shoe, and gently rub the affected area.
- Condition: After cleaning (and drying), apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, prevent cracking, and maintain its appearance. Follow the product's instructions.
- Drying: Always air dry at room temperature, away from direct heat or sunlight. Stuff the shoes with paper towels or shoe trees to help retain their shape during drying.
- Cleaning the Textile Lining: Use a mild soap solution and a soft brush or cloth to gently scrub the interior lining. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely.
- Cleaning the Rubber Sole: Use a brush (an old toothbrush works well) and warm soapy water to scrub dirt and grime from the rubber outsole and midsole.
- Insole Care: The removable EVA foam insole can be taken out and hand-washed with mild soap and water. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
- Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
- Avoid: Do not machine wash or machine dry these trainers, as this can damage the leather, adhesives, and foam components. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.
