FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard sizing; however, since they are leather, they may have a slight break-in period.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the adhesives used in the cupsole. Hand cleaning is recommended.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The silhouette is relatively slim, though the leather upper may stretch slightly over time to accommodate the foot.
Do these provide arch support?
They offer moderate cushioning, but if you require heavy arch support, you may want to swap the stock insole for a supportive insert.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather for durability and a classic look.
Troubleshooting
Leather showing creases
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather; using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape.
Squeaking sounds while walking
Often caused by moisture trapped under the insole; remove the insole, let it air dry completely, and replace.
Scuff marks on the rubber sole
Use a magic eraser or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently buff away scuffs on the cupsole edge.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Continental 80 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Fit: The classic lace-up design allows for custom tensioning; ensure you do not overtighten, which can cause strain on the eyelets.
- Cleaning: Since these are made from leather, use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a leather-specific cleaner. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or the colour from fading over time.
- Insoles: If you require custom orthotics, the stock insoles are generally removable, allowing for a personalized fit.
