FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Continental 80 generally fits true to standard UK sizing for adults.

Are these suitable for running?

These are lifestyle trainers inspired by indoor sports. They are not recommended for long-distance running or professional athletic performance.

What material is the upper made of?

This specific model features a high-quality leather construction.

How do I clean the white midsole?

A gentle scrub with a mild soapy solution and a soft cloth or toothbrush usually restores the white color of the midsole.

Can I remove the insoles?

The insoles are typically standard. If they are glued, it is best not to remove them to avoid damaging the shoe integrity.

Do these shoes provide arch support?

They offer standard arch support typical of retro trainers, but individuals requiring specific orthotic support may wish to add aftermarket insoles.

Troubleshooting

Leather showing creases from walking

This is normal for genuine leather products; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain the original shape.

Outer sole picking up debris

Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dirt or small stones from the grooves in the tread.

Scuff marks on the surface

Use a leather conditioner or a matching black leather polish to gently buff out minor scuffs.

  • Classic retro style suitable for various outfits
  • Reliable support for everyday walking
  • Iconic design that maintains its value

Cons

  • Limited ventilation compared to modern mesh trainers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the finish.
  2. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent leather cracking or fading of the black and red pigments.
  3. Compatibility: These shoes pair well with casual denim, chinos, or tracksuits, reflecting their versatile origins.
  4. Maintenance: If the leather becomes wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never use a tumble dryer or direct heater as this can cause the leather to shrink or warp.
