FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Continental 80 generally fits true to size for standard adult foot measurements.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While durable, these are lifestyle shoes and are not designed for heavy lifting or high-impact training.
Are they waterproof?
They are made of leather, which is naturally water-resistant, but they are not fully waterproof.
How do I keep the white leather looking bright?
Clean them regularly with a damp cloth and use a white leather touch-up polish if scuffs occur.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, you can typically remove the factory insoles to replace them with your preferred orthotics.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the leather toe box
This is normal for leather shoes; using shoe trees when not in use helps maintain shape and minimize deep creases.
White leather becoming discolored
Use a specialized leather cleaner and a soft sponge; avoid abrasive scrubbers that may damage the finish.
Tight fit around the instep
Loosen the lacing system significantly and allow the leather to naturally stretch and mold to your foot shape over the first few wears.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Continental 80s remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Initial Protection: Apply a leather-safe water and stain repellent spray before the first wear.
- Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the leather surfaces with a damp, soft cloth after use to remove surface dirt.
- Deep Cleaning: For stubborn marks, use a specialized leather sneaker cleaner and a soft-bristled brush. Avoid submerging the shoes in water.
- Drying: Always allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
- Insoles: If you require extra cushioning, the standard insoles are generally removable, allowing for the insertion of custom orthotics.
