FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, these are designed as lifestyle trainers for casual use and do not contain the technical support or cushioning required for running.

How do I clean the green detailing?

Gently clean the green sections with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals that could cause the green dye to bleed onto the white leather.

Do the Continental 80s run true to size?

Yes, they generally run true to standard UK sizing, though some users with wider feet may prefer to go up half a size for comfort.

Can I wear these in the rain?

While the leather is durable, excessive water can damage the material and affect the adhesive. It is recommended to apply a water-repellent leather spray if you plan on wearing them in damp conditions.

Are these shoes made of genuine leather?

Yes, the Continental 80 features a premium leather upper for a classic look and long-lasting durability.

Troubleshooting

Leather surface shows scuff marks

Use a specialized leather eraser or a damp microfiber cloth with a small amount of leather conditioner to buff out light scuffs.

White upper appearing dull

Apply a high-quality leather polish or whitener designed for white sneakers to restore the original brightness.

Creasing in the toe box

Insert wooden or plastic shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the shoe's shape and reduce permanent creasing.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

When you receive your Continental 80s, ensure you have the correct UK size for your foot, as the leather material provides a stable, structured fit that does not stretch as much as synthetic mesh. To care for your trainers, wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove surface dirt. For deeper stains, use a mild leather-safe cleaner. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the leather and the integrity of the adhesive. Store your trainers in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing over time.
