Club
Product information
The Club is part of the Carl Hässner Master Shoes collection. It translates the construction and functionality of historic ZEHA football shoes into handcrafted leather shoes for everyday wear. The heritage of historic sports shoes is combined with traditional shoemaking, premium materials, and a construction designed for lasting durability.
The Club is the most minimalist model in the collection. Its origins date back to the training and multi-purpose sports shoes that ZEHA developed as early as the 1920s and 1930s for football, field handball, and use by referees. In the 1950s, the model was redesigned with ZEHA's now distinctive double stripes and became part of the company's modern sports shoe collection.
With its low-profile silhouette, lightweight construction, and deliberate absence of additional padding or reinforcements, the Club continues to deliver the immediate ground feel of a lightweight leather shoe. Crafted from premium calf leather, featuring a vertically stitched leather outsole and the traditional Barré Construction, it is a masterfully made shoe that preserves the authentic character of its historic predecessor while being built to last for decades.

Foot Size Determiniation
Below you’ll find a short guide to help you determine your correct ZEHA shoe size – as a small note: a little room in the toe area ensures the right wearing comfort.

Material + Care
Zeha Berlin shoes are made of high-quality material. To ensure you can enjoy your new shoes for a long time, care instructions are included with every shoe box. Please read them carefully. Complaints resulting from improper care of the material cannot be accepted.
BEFORE WEARING FOR THE FIRST TIME
We recommend that you impregnate new shoes before wearing them for the first time. This creates a waterproof layer inside the material. It also provides protection against moisture and dirt.
Apply a fine spray three times and let the shoes dry completely in between spraying to prevent stains. The shoe must not become soaked through.
Do not forget the soles and edges when caring for your shoes.
For smooth leather shoes we recommend additional polishing after impregnation. The shoe polish protects and shines the leather from the outside.
Please note:
- polish residues that remain on the shoe quickly become caked. This makes the leather look as if it is cracked.
- shoes made of suede or nubuck leather do not tolerate waxes, greases or shoe polishes. The surfaces should be treated when dry with a soft brush and a suitable care spray
- especially deep colors and light-colored models (e.g. Liga 855.0992) require careful and regular impregnation of the leather to protect the shoe’s color. This avoids color loss due to moisture and the discoloration of other (brighter) pieces of leather and/or garments. Detailed care instructions are included with every delivery.
PUTTING ON AND TAKING OFF SHOES CORRECTLY
A shoehorn should always be used to put on shoes. This prevents damage to the material and extends its durability as a result.
Shoes should be taken off by hand. When taking off shoes, never loosen them from the heel with the tip of your foot. This will damage the heel cup and the shoe will wear out.
WEARING BREAKS AND MOISTURE
Leather is a natural material that is stressed by damp weather and mechanical activity.
We therefore recommend shoe trees made of cedar or beech wood during wearing breaks. Shoe trees smooth out creases and support the drying process of the shoe.
Wet shoes should be dried off immediately with a soft cloth and filled with paper towels/newspaper. Moisture is absorbed, the shoes are kept in shape. Then allow to dry slowly at room temperature.
Never expose the shoes to a direct source of heat (heating, open fire, etc.). Heat will make the leather brittle and dries it out irreparably.
Protect the shoes as well from direct light to prevent colour losses.
CARE OF THE LEATHER SOLES
The sole leather is naturally abrasion-resistant. During wear, it is automatically compressed and becomes water-repellent on its own. However, no other leather on the shoe is subject to as much stress as the sole leather. In order to provide lasting protection, the leather soles should be impregnated with leather sole oil at regular intervals. This keeps the leather soles flexible and increases their life.
Any production-related protruding thread ends are harmless and can be carefully removed by means of a flame (lighter).
REPAIRS
Shoes are subject to the natural wear and tear of everyday life. Regular and thorough care can delay the need for repair work. Repair requirements can also be identified earlier through proper care. Worn-out heels, outsoles, sole tips or heel linings should be replaced at an early stage in order to protect the surrounding material. We recommend that you consult a specialist company that is familiar with the repair requirements. The work of professionals is more durable and of better quality.
