FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a looser fit for thicker socks, some users recommend sizing up by a half size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives holding the sole together. Clean by hand with a soft cloth.
Is the material real leather?
Yes, this specific model features a high-quality leather upper construction.
Are these suitable for running?
These are designed as lifestyle/casual trainers and are not recommended for long-distance running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I remove scuffs from the black leather?
Use a black leather conditioner or a matching cream polish to buff out minor surface scuffs and restore the color.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
They feature a standard cupsole design with an EVA insert, providing basic everyday support, though not corrective orthotic support.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box during normal walking
This is a natural characteristic of genuine leather; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Tongue sliding to the side during wear
Ensure the laces are threaded through the lace loop located at the center of the tongue to keep it centered.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Continental 80 trainers maintain their condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the lace-up fastening is adjusted to your preferred tension to utilize the padded collar for maximum heel security.
- Leather Maintenance: Clean the leather upper using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may damage the finish.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the materials.
