FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
The adidas Continental 80 trainers are primarily designed for casual wear and lifestyle. They do not offer the specialized cushioning and support required for running or high-impact athletic activities.
How do I know if I have the right size?
It's recommended to try them on if possible. Generally, they should fit snugly but comfortably, with enough room in the toe box. Consult the brand's sizing chart for specific measurements.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Hand wash them using mild soap and water as per the care instructions.
What is the main difference between Continental 80 and other adidas trainers?
The Continental 80 is distinguished by its distinct retro design inspired by 1980s indoor shoes, offering a more vintage aesthetic compared to modern performance-focused trainers.
How durable are the green accents?
The green accents are typically made from synthetic materials or suede. Their durability depends on the specific material used and how well the shoes are cared for. Avoid abrasive cleaning on these areas.
What materials are the Continental 80 trainers made from?
The upper is primarily made from leather, offering a premium feel. The sole is typically rubber, and the lining might be a synthetic textile.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing them with thinner socks or loosening the laces. If the issue persists after a break-in period, they may be the wrong size.
Discoloration on the white leather
Gently clean the affected area with a damp cloth and mild soap. For tougher stains, consider a specialized leather cleaner suitable for white leather.
Soles appear worn
Check for general wear and tear. For minor scuffs, a rubber sole cleaner can help. Significant wear may indicate the need for replacement.
Laces fraying
Replace the laces with a new pair. You can purchase replacement laces in a similar colour or style from most shoe retailers.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: For general cleaning, use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Sole: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks on the rubber sole, a magic eraser can be effective, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
