Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or scuffs on the white leather

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Continental 80 shoes remain in top condition, follow these care steps:
- Cleaning: Wipe the upper surface with a soft, damp cloth. Use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for white shoes if scuffs occur.
- Maintenance: Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the leather and adhesive components.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading or material discoloration.
- Compatibility: The shoes fit standard adult UK sizing; verify your specific size (e.g., 5.5 UK) before first wear to ensure comfort. If wearing thicker socks, consider how the volume of the shoe interacts with your foot shape.
