FAQs
Are the Adidas Continental 80 shoes water-resistant?
While the leather upper provides some protection against light moisture, they are not waterproof.
Can I put these trainers in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Hand-cleaning is the best way to maintain the structural integrity and quality of the leather.
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No. These are lifestyle trainers intended for casual wear and walking, not for long-distance or high-impact running.
Do the shoes fit true to size?
Yes, they feature a regular fit; choose your standard UK shoe size for the best experience.
What is the purpose of the perforated holes?
The perforations on the toe and sidewalls are specifically designed to increase airflow and breathability.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows scuff marks
Gently rub the area with a soft, slightly dampened cloth or a leather-specific eraser.
Interior feels damp or develops an odor
Remove the OrthoLite insoles and allow them to air out in a well-ventilated area for 24 hours.
Laces becoming frayed or dirty
Remove the laces and soak them in a mixture of warm water and mild detergent; replace if damage is severe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Continental 80s last, follow these maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading.
- Insoles: The OrthoLite sockliners are designed for comfort; if they become damp from sweat, remove them to air dry independently of the shoe.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for a 'regular fit.' If you plan to wear thick winter socks, consider if you prefer a tighter or roomier feel before selecting your UK size.
- Weather Protection: While these are resistant to general use, apply a leather-protectant spray to help repel moisture and prevent stains.
