FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running or sports?
No, while inspired by court shoes, the Reebok Club C 85 Vintage trainers are designed for casual wear and lifestyle purposes. For running or high-performance sports, we recommend specialized athletic footwear.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers generally run true to size. We recommend trying them on to ensure the best fit, or consult Reebok's official sizing chart if purchasing online. The size for this specific product is UK 8.5.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended for leather trainers as it can damage the material and adhesives. Please refer to the 'Care' section for proper cleaning instructions.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper of the Reebok Club C 85 Vintage trainers is made from premium leather, offering both durability and a classic aesthetic.
Do the insoles provide good arch support?
The trainers come with a removable EVA foam sockliner that provides basic cushioning and comfort. For specific arch support needs, you can replace the sockliner with custom orthotics or specialized insoles.
How often should I condition the leather?
The frequency depends on usage and environmental conditions, but generally, conditioning every 1-3 months is a good practice to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
Troubleshooting
Scuffs or marks appear on the leather upper.
Clean the area immediately with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a leather eraser. Follow up with a leather conditioner to restore the finish.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable initially.
Leather shoes often require a short 'break-in' period. Wear them for shorter durations at first, gradually increasing wear time. Ensure laces are not too tight, allowing your foot to settle naturally.
Squeaking sound when walking.
Often, squeaking comes from the removable EVA foam sockliner rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the sockliner, sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder underneath, and then reinserting it.
Loss of original white brightness on the leather.
Regular cleaning with a gentle leather cleaner designed for white leather can help maintain brightness. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh elements that can cause yellowing or discoloration. A white shoe polish can also help.

Care
To ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your leather trainers:
- Initial Protection: Consider applying a leather protector spray before the first wear to guard against water and stains.
- Regular Cleaning (Leather Upper):
- Wipe off dirt and dust with a soft, damp cloth immediately after use.
- For tougher marks, use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft brush or cloth, following the product's instructions.
- Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the leather.
- Midsole and Outsole Cleaning:
- Use a soft brush (like an old toothbrush) and mild soap and water to clean the rubber midsole and outsole.
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
- Drying:
- Always air dry your trainers away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can cause leather to crack or stiffen.
- Stuff them with newspaper or shoe trees to help maintain their shape during drying.
- Conditioning:
- Periodically apply a leather conditioner to keep the leather soft, supple, and prevent cracking. Follow the conditioner's instructions.
- Storage:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
