FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?

How do I clean the leather upper?

Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult sizing.
Can I replace the insoles?

Troubleshooting
Leather surface shows light scuffs
Apply a leather-specific conditioner or a matching black leather polish to buff out the surface marks.

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.
