FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

The Continental 80 generally fits true to size, though the leather upper may feel snug initially before relaxing.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

No, it is highly recommended to avoid machine washing as the moisture and heat can damage the leather and the adhesives.

Are these suitable for running?

No, these are fashion trainers inspired by 80s indoor footwear and are not designed for running or high-impact athletic performance.

What is the best way to remove salt stains from the leather?

Use a mixture of equal parts water and white vinegar to gently wipe the area, then follow up with a clean damp cloth.

Do I need to treat the leather before my first wear?

While not strictly necessary, applying a protective spray can help defend against initial scuffs and moisture.

Troubleshooting

Leather looks dull or loses its luster

Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.

Creasing in the toe box area

This is normal for leather footwear. Using shoe trees while the shoes are in storage can help minimize deep creasing.

Accumulation of dirt in the soles

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove debris from the rubber tread to maintain optimal grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic, timeless retro design
  • High-quality leather material
  • Suitable for a wide range of casual outfits
  • Durable construction for daily usage

Cons

  • Leather requires regular care and cleaning

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Continental 80 trainers stay in peak condition, follow these guidelines:

  1. Break-in: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the leather to soften and conform to your foot shape.
  2. Cleaning: Use a dry soft cloth to wipe away loose surface dirt after each wear. For deeper cleans, use a dedicated leather cleaner or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, followed by air drying away from direct heat sources.
  3. Protection: Apply a leather-safe water-repellent spray to protect against minor spills and environmental wear.
  4. Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees or stuffing paper to maintain the silhouette when not in use.
