FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Continental 80 is a lifestyle trainer designed for casual, daily wear, not for athletic sports performance.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a leather-safe cleaner and a soft brush.
Does the size 7.5 fit true to size?
Yes, they are generally true to size for adults, though it is recommended to wear standard socks to ensure a proper fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
We do not recommend machine washing, as it can damage the leather material and the structural adhesive of the cupsole.
Is the leather upper waterproof?
The leather is not waterproof, though it can withstand light rain. Avoid puddles to prevent staining.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed from leather, providing durability and a classic look.
Troubleshooting
Visible scuffs on leather surface
Use a neutral leather cream or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff the area.
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets and try a double knot if the round laces feel slippery.
Creasing at the toe box
This is a normal characteristic of leather footwear; using shoe trees at night helps minimize deep set creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Continental 80s stay in great condition, follow these simple care steps:
- Cleaning: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dust and light scuffs from the leather upper. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner.
- Moisture Control: If the shoes become damp, air-dry them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the leather.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain the shape of the toe box when not in use.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit true to size for most, though you may prefer thicker socks if you are on the lower end of the UK 7.5 size range.
