FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you are between sizes, consider ordering a half-size up for extra room.
Can I wear these for sports?
These are designed for lifestyle and casual wear; they do not have the high-performance support required for professional athletics or intense training.
How do I clean the white sections on the sole?
A mixture of mild soap and water with a soft brush should effectively clean the rubber cupsole without damaging the leather.
Is the leather real or synthetic?
The Continental 80 variants listed typically use genuine leather, providing durability and a classic look.
Does the leather stretch over time?
Like most leather footwear, they will slightly mold to the shape of your foot with consistent wear.
Troubleshooting
Outer leather scuffing
Use a matching color shoe cream or a specialized leather conditioner to buff out minor surface abrasions.
Loss of internal cushioning
If the original insole wears down, replace it with a generic supportive athletic insole for continued comfort.
Odour buildup
Remove the laces and use a dedicated shoe deodorizer spray; ensure the shoes are aired out in a ventilated area for 24 hours.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your adidas Continental 80s, proper care is essential. Since the upper is made of leather, avoid machine washing, which can crack the material and weaken the adhesive bonds of the sole. Instead, wipe away surface dirt with a damp cloth after each use. For deeper stains, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft brush. Ensure the trainers are stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from drying out or fading. Before first use, consider applying a leather protector spray to guard against minor scuffs and moisture.
