Which Reebok suits you best
- Club C — slim, white tennis shoe; effortless to style with smart and tailored pieces.

- Nano — dedicated training shoe with a flat, stable sole built for the gym.
- Instapump Fury — bold, laceless statement silhouette.
Sizing and care
The Club C runs narrow and slightly long; many prefer taking half a size down. White leather only retains its clean finish with regular maintenance.
- Wipe down white leather weekly with a damp cloth and mild soap.
- Treat fresh leather with a neutral cream to prevent drying out.
- Air shoes thoroughly after wear; insert shoe trees to retain their shape.
