FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for sports?

The Reebok Club C 85 are designed for casual wear and offer comfort for everyday activities. They are not optimized for high-impact sports or specialized athletic performance.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated mild leather cleaner. Allow them to air dry away from heat.

Will these shoes stretch over time?

Yes, the premium full-grain leather upper is designed to soften and subtly conform to the shape of your foot with wear, providing a more personalized fit.

What kind of socks should I wear with these sneakers?

These sneakers pair well with a variety of socks, from no-show socks for a cleaner look to classic crew socks for a retro vibe. Choose based on your comfort and outfit.

Are these shoes waterproof?

The Club C 85 sneakers are not waterproof. While leather offers some resistance, they are best worn in dry conditions. Consider a leather protector spray for added water resistance.

What makes the '85 version special?

The '85 version is a direct homage to the original 1985 release, featuring an authentic silhouette, premium leather, and archive-inspired logos for genuine vintage appeal.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing excessively

Ensure proper fit. Use shoe trees when not in use to help maintain shape and reduce deep creases. Avoid over-tightening laces.

Slight discoloration after cleaning

Ensure you used a mild, leather-specific cleaner and a damp, not wet, cloth. Always test cleaners on an inconspicuous area first. Allow shoes to dry naturally.

Reduced comfort after initial wear

Allow for a break-in period. The premium leather will soften and conform to your foot shape over time. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks.

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can sometimes occur with new rubber soles. It may resolve with wear. If persistent, try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or ensuring the sole is completely dry.
