FAQs
What material is the Adidas Continental 80 'Scarlet' made from?
The upper is primarily made of leather, offering a premium feel and durability. The interior features a soft French terry lining.
Are these shoes suitable for athletic performance?
The Continental 80 is designed more for lifestyle and casual wear. While they can be used for light activities like skateboarding, they are not engineered for high-impact sports or rigorous athletic training.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally.
What does 'Scarlet' refer to?
'Scarlet' refers to the bold, vibrant red colorway of these specific Adidas Continental 80 shoes.
What is the purpose of the split rubber cupsole?
The split rubber cupsole, combined with an EVA insert, is designed to provide flexibility and allow the shoe to bend naturally with your foot's movement.
Can these shoes be worn by women?
While this specific model is listed as 'Male', the Continental 80 style is often unisex. Women may consider sizing down if a similar fit is desired, but it's best to check specific size charts and reviews.
What is the OrthoLite® sockliner?
The OrthoLite® sockliner provides enhanced cushioning, breathability, and moisture-wicking properties for added comfort during wear.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound from shoes
This can sometimes happen with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more days. If it persists, check if the insole is slightly loose and try adjusting it, or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Leather creasing excessively
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize it, ensure the shoes fit correctly and avoid over-tightening the laces. Using shoe trees when not in use can also help maintain shape.
Discoloration of the 'Scarlet' color
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause fading. Clean the shoes regularly as per care instructions to maintain color vibrancy.
