FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Continental 80 generally follows standard adult sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, some users suggest going up half a size.

Can I use these for running?

No, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual use and walking, not for high-intensity athletic performance or running.

How do I clean the green accents?

Gently wipe the colored sections with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals to prevent color bleeding onto the white leather.

Is the leather upper waterproof?

While leather provides more protection than mesh, these trainers are not waterproof. We recommend applying a leather-safe water repellent spray if you expect light rain.

Are the insoles removable?

The Continental 80 typically features standard insoles. You may be able to replace them with your own orthotics if necessary.

Troubleshooting

Creasing in the leather toe box

This is a natural occurrence with leather footwear; use shoe trees when not in use to help the shoe retain its shape.

Scuff marks on the white finish

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a white sneaker eraser to gently buff out scuffs and restore the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Continental 80 trainers maintain their condition, perform simple maintenance after each wear. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for spot cleaning the leather. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the material and the adhesive bonds. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can cause the leather to crack over time. Compatibility is straightforward; these trainers fit standard adult sizing, though it is recommended to wear them with moisture-wicking socks to ensure foot freshness during long days.
