FAQs

Are Reebok Club C 85 Vintage trainers suitable for running or sports?

No, these trainers are designed for casual wear and style, not for high-performance running or sports. While comfortable for everyday movement, they lack the specialized support and cushioning required for athletic activities.

How do I determine my size?

The Reebok Club C 85 Vintage generally runs true to size. We recommend selecting your usual UK shoe size. If you are between sizes, consider trying the larger size for optimal comfort, especially if you plan to wear thicker socks.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended for leather trainers as it can damage the material, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Always follow the manual cleaning instructions provided in the 'Care' section.

What is the difference between 'Vintage' and regular Club C 85 models?

The 'Vintage' designation typically refers to specific detailing, color schemes, and material finishes that emulate the original 1980s release of the Club C. This can include slightly aged off-white soles, exposed foam tongues, and classic branding, aiming for an authentic retro look.

How often should I condition the leather?

The frequency depends on how often you wear the trainers and the conditions they are exposed to. As a general guideline, conditioning the leather every 2-3 months, or when the leather starts to feel dry, will help maintain its quality and prevent cracking.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears creased or cracked

This is common with leather over time. Regularly clean and apply a leather conditioner to keep the material supple. Proper storage with shoe trees can also help minimize creasing when not in use.

Trainers feel too stiff or uncomfortable

Leather shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not too tight.

Squeaking sound when walking

This can sometimes be caused by friction between the insole and the shoe's interior. Try removing the insole, sprinkling a small amount of baby powder underneath it, and then reinserting. Ensure the shoe is dry.

White leather looks dull or discolored

Clean the leather regularly with a specialized white leather cleaner or a mixture of mild soap and water. For minor scuffs, a white shoe cream or polish can help restore brightness. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can cause yellowing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

Using your Reebok Club C 85 Vintage trainers is straightforward:

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the trainers from their packaging.
  2. Lacing: Adjust the laces to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Experiment with different lacing styles if desired.
  3. Break-In: Like most leather footwear, a short break-in period may be beneficial to conform to your foot shape.

  • Gender: Unisex design, suitable for both men and women.

  • Outfits: Highly compatible with a wide range of casual attire, including jeans, shorts, casual trousers, skirts, and dresses. Its vintage aesthetic pairs well with both modern and retro-inspired fashion.
  • Activities: Best suited for casual walking, daily wear, and social activities. Not recommended for high-impact sports or extreme weather conditions.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your leather trainers:

  • Cleaning:
  1. Gently wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather cleaner applied with a soft brush or cloth.
  2. Clean the rubber sole and toe cap with a brush or cloth dampened with mild soap and water.
  3. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the leather.
  • Drying:
  1. Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature.
  2. DO NOT place them near direct heat sources (radiators, sunlight) as this can dry out and crack the leather.
  3. Stuff the trainers with paper towels or shoe trees to help them retain their shape while drying.
  • Conditioning: Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking.
  • Storage: Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
