FAQs

Are these sneakers true to size?

Generally, Reebok Club C 85 sneakers are considered true to size. For this specific pair, it's EUR 40. If you are between sizes, or prefer a looser fit, you might consider consulting a size conversion chart.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is strongly not recommended, especially due to the suede material. Machine washing can damage the suede, alter the shape, and degrade the adhesive.

How do I protect the suede from water and stains?

Before wearing, apply a high-quality suede and nubuck protective spray. Reapply periodically, especially after cleaning or if the shoes are exposed to moisture frequently.

What activities are these shoes best suited for?

These sneakers are best suited for casual wear, daily errands, urban exploration, and light walking. They are not designed for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic training.

How do I clean the white parts of the shoe (e.g., midsole, laces)?

For white rubber midsoles, use a soft brush and a mild soap-and-water solution, or a sneaker cleaning solution. For laces, remove them and hand wash with soap and water, then air dry.

Will the color of the suede fade over time?

Like most dyed materials, suede can experience some minor fading over prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Proper storage away from direct light and regular protective spraying can help minimize this.

Troubleshooting

Suede appears dirty or matted.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For tougher spots, a suede eraser can be effective. Always brush in one direction.

Water stains on the suede.

If already stained, dampen a clean cloth with a small amount of distilled water and gently wipe the entire affected panel to create an even dampness, then allow to air dry. This can sometimes 'even out' the stain. Re-apply protective spray once dry.

Sneakers feel tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size (EUR 40). Allow for a short break-in period; wear them for shorter durations initially. Check your sock thickness or consider trying different lacing techniques for a more accommodating fit.

Squeaking sound when walking.

Often caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder or talcum powder underneath, then reinserting the insole. If it's from the outsole, ensure it's clean and dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Lacing: Adjust the laces for a snug yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing patterns if you prefer a customized feel.

  • Socks: Wear with your preferred athletic or casual socks for comfort and to help manage moisture.

Care Instructions

Proper care is essential to maintain the appearance and longevity of your suede Reebok Club C 85 sneakers.

  1. Protection: Before your first wear, apply a suede and nubuck protective spray. This will help repel water and resist stains.
  2. Regular Cleaning: Use a suede brush to gently remove dirt, dust, and loose debris. Brush in one direction to maintain the nap of the suede.
  3. Spot Cleaning Stains: For stubborn marks or minor stains, use a suede eraser. Gently rub the eraser over the stain, then brush away any residue with the suede brush.
  4. Deep Cleaning (Caution!): For deeper stains, specialized suede cleaning kits are available. Always follow the product's instructions and test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid excessive water, as it can damage suede.
  5. Drying: If your sneakers 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 or sunlight.
  6. Storage: Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and light. Avoid crushing them to prevent permanent creasing of the suede.
