Product Information
Full details
The adidas Continental 80 is designed for adult men who appreciate a blend of 1980s court heritage and modern everyday comfort. These trainers provide a versatile, clean aesthetic that pairs effortlessly with casual attire, making them a perfect daily driver for those who value classic sneaker design. While they excel in style and durability thanks to their leather construction, users should note that the retro court-style sole is best suited for urban walking rather than high-impact athletic performance.

FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The adidas Continental 80 generally fits true to size. If you have wider feet, you may consider trying them on or opting for a half-size up if you prefer a roomier fit.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
It is strongly recommended not to put these in the washing machine, as the heat and water can ruin the leather and weaken the adhesives used in construction.
How do I clean the white leather?
Wipe with a damp cloth after each use. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner and a soft-bristled brush, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Are these suitable for running?
No, these are heritage lifestyle trainers and lack the advanced cushioning and stability features required for running.
What material is the upper made from?
The upper is constructed from high-quality leather for durability and comfort.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
Creasing is a natural characteristic of leather footwear. Using a shoe tree when not in use can help maintain the shape and minimize deep creases.
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a specialized leather eraser or a soft cloth with a tiny amount of mild soap and water to gently buff out surface scuffs.
Squeaking sounds while walking
This is often caused by moisture or friction between the insole and the shoe interior. Try removing the insole, letting it dry completely, and sprinkling a small amount of talcum powder underneath.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your trainers in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Breaking In: New leather shoes may feel slightly stiff initially. Wear them for short periods to allow the leather to mold to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth or a dedicated leather cleaner to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water as this can damage the leather finish.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing or drying out.
- Protection: Apply a water-repellent spray designed for leather to provide an extra layer of protection against minor spills and rain.
