FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Continental 80 generally fits true to size for most adults.

Can I use these for running?

These are lifestyle trainers and are not recommended for long-distance running or high-impact athletic training.

How do I maintain the white color?

Regularly wipe them down with a damp cloth and use a shoe protector spray to help repel dirt and stains.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

The silhouette is relatively slim, so individuals with very wide feet may find them snug.

Is the material leather or synthetic?

The Continental 80 typically uses a durable construction that mimics the classic look of original 80s court shoes.

Troubleshooting

Visible scuffs on white material

Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft cloth dipped in a mixture of mild soap and water to gently buff the marks.

Laces becoming undone

Ensure they are double-knotted or consider replacing them with high-quality cotton laces for better friction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

As these are standard lace-up trainers, no complex setup is required; simply adjust the laces to your desired tension to secure the fit. For optimal longevity, store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the white materials. To clean the exterior, use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe away surface dirt. If the shoes become damp during use, allow them to air dry at room temperature; avoid placing them directly onto heaters or using hair dryers, as extreme heat can damage the adhesives and structural components.
