FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Continental 80 generally follows standard adidas sizing, though if you prefer a looser fit, some users opt for a half-size up.
Can I use these for running?
No, these are lifestyle shoes inspired by 80s court fashion and lack the technical cushioning and stability needed for running.
How do I remove stains from the white leather?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water or a dedicated sneaker cleaner; do not submerge the shoes in water.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The low-cut design is standard width; those with significantly wide feet may find them snug and should consider trying them on first.
What materials are used in the construction?
The shoe features a combination of durable synthetic or leather uppers depending on the specific batch, with a rubber outsole for grip.
Troubleshooting
Creasing in the toe box area
This is common with leather and synthetic shoes; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to maintain the shape.
Difficulty keeping the white exterior clean
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit and a soft-bristled brush to gently remove surface debris without damaging the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting the most out of your adidas Continental 80 involves proper sizing and regular maintenance. Ensure you are using the correct UK sizing (this specific model is 7.5 UK) to prevent foot fatigue. To keep them looking fresh, wipe down the exterior white leather or synthetic surfaces with a damp cloth after exposure to dirt or rain. Avoid placing them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the adhesives. Store them in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent yellowing of the white components.
