FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Continental 80 is designed for lifestyle and casual use and does not provide the cushioning or stability required for long-distance running.
How do I determine my size?
These shoes follow standard adult UK sizing; refer to the manufacturer's size guide if you are between sizes.
Can these be worn in wet weather?
While they are durable, it is best to avoid heavy rain as prolonged moisture can affect the materials and lead to premature wear.
Are the insoles removable?
Most models feature a removable insole, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if required.
Do the shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally run true to size for a standard foot shape, though some users with wider feet may prefer a half-size up.
How do I prevent the white from yellowing?
Keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources and avoid direct, prolonged sunlight when storing them.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creases.
Stains on the white upper
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit or a gentle mixture of baking soda and water, scrubbing softly with a toothbrush.
Laces becoming frayed
Replace the standard cotton laces with fresh ones to immediately refresh the appearance of the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Continental 80 shoes remain in top condition, focus on consistent care. Given the white colourway, treat the leather or synthetic upper with a water and stain repellent spray before first use. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry debris, and wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid placing these shoes in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can damage the structural adhesives. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white material from yellowing over time.
