FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual wear and walking, not for athletic running.

How do I clean the leather upper?

Use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away debris, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources.

Is the material waterproof?

The leather is water-resistant, but the shoe is not waterproof. Avoid heavy rain to preserve the material.

Do the Continental 80s run true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the internal insoles are removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows light scuffs

Apply a leather-specific conditioner or a matching black leather polish to buff out the surface marks.

Shoe feels slightly tight

Loosen the lacing system starting from the bottom eyelets to distribute pressure across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Continental 80s last, keep the leather clean by wiping them down with a soft, damp cloth after exposure to rain or dirt. Do not submerge them in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive integrity. For long-term storage, use shoe trees to maintain the internal shape and prevent deep creasing across the toe box. The laces can be adjusted to match your foot width, and the shoes fit true to standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to wear thin-to-medium thickness cotton socks for the best fit.
