Unboxing
Upon receiving your Reebok Classic Leather Nylon Cb shoes, carefully remove them from their packaging. Inspect the shoes for any visible defects or damage. Ensure both shoes are present and match the expected size and color.
Sizing and Fit
These shoes are designed to fit true to size. For optimal comfort and performance, try on the shoes with the type of socks you typically wear.

Wearing and Use
General Use
The Reebok Classic Leather Nylon Cb shoes are designed for everyday casual wear, light walking, and jogging. Their durable construction and comfortable fit make them suitable for various daily activities. Avoid using them for specialized sports that require specific footwear, such as intense running, basketball, or hiking, as this may lead to premature wear or inadequate support.
Lacing
Proper lacing ensures a secure and comfortable fit. Start by loosening the laces completely before putting on the shoes. Once your foot is comfortably inside, begin tightening the laces from the bottom eyelets upwards, ensuring even tension across the foot. Tie a secure knot or bow that does not come undone easily during activity.

Care and Maintenance
Cleaning Instructions
- Surface Cleaning: For light dirt, wipe the shoes with a soft, damp cloth.
- Deep Cleaning: For more stubborn stains, use a mild soap or shoe cleaner mixed with water. Apply with a soft brush or cloth, gently scrubbing the affected areas.
- Sole Cleaning: Use a brush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole.
- Drying: After cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources, as these can damage the materials. You can stuff the shoes with newspaper or paper towels to help absorb moisture and maintain their shape.
- Do NOT Machine Wash: Machine washing can damage the shoe's structure, materials, and adhesives.

Storage
Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
Troubleshooting
Common Concerns
- Shoes feel too tight/loose: Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the size guide. Adjust lacing for a more secure or relaxed fit. Consider wearing different thickness socks.
- Squeaking noise: This can sometimes occur if the insole is rubbing against the inside of the shoe. Try removing the insole, cleaning the area, and reinserting it. If the issue persists, a light dusting of baby powder under the insole may help.
- Odor: To prevent odor, allow shoes to air out after each use. You can use shoe deodorizers or baking soda sprinkled inside the shoes overnight. Ensure shoes are completely dry before storage.
- Excessive sole wear: While the outsole is abrasion-resistant, excessive wear on specific areas might indicate an irregular gait or overuse. Consider rotating your footwear to extend the lifespan of your shoes.
