FAQs
Are the adidas Continental 80 shoes true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to standard adult male sizing. If you have particularly wide feet, you may prefer to try a half-size up.
Can these be worn for running or gym workouts?
No, these are categorized as lifestyle trainers. They lack the technical cushioning and support needed for high-impact sports.
How do I remove scuffs from the white surface?
A magic eraser sponge or a cloth dampened with a gentle soap solution typically removes surface scuffs effectively.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They are not waterproof. We recommend avoiding heavy rain to preserve the appearance and material quality.
What is the primary material used?
The Continental 80 features a durable synthetic/leather upper, providing that classic 80s indoor court look.
Troubleshooting
Creasing on the toe box
This is a natural occurrence in leather-based footwear; using shoe trees when not in use helps maintain shape.
Difficulty keeping the white surface clean
Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for synthetic or leather materials to create a protective barrier.
Stiffness when new
Wear the shoes for short periods indoors to allow the material to flex and conform to your foot shape gradually.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-top shoes, ensure you wear socks that complement the aesthetic, such as low-cut athletic socks or no-show liners for a cleaner look. To maintain the white and grey exterior, wipe the leather-like material with a soft, damp cloth after use to prevent dirt buildup. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush, taking care to avoid harsh chemicals that could discolor the grey accents. Always allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources, which can cause the materials to warp or crack.
