FAQs

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, the Continental 80 features a standard fit designed to be true to size for most adult users.

Can I use these for running?

These are primarily lifestyle trainers. While they are comfortable for walking, they do not provide the specialized support required for long-distance running.

How do I maintain the white colour?

Regularly wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and protect them from excessive mud or liquid exposure to keep them looking fresh.

Are they suitable for wet weather?

While they offer decent traction, they are not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the material quality.

What material are these made from?

The series typically uses high-quality synthetic or leather materials combined with a rubber outsole for durability.

Troubleshooting

Visible dirt or scuff marks on white leather

Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft, damp cloth with gentle soap to carefully wipe away surface debris.

Laces becoming untied frequently

Ensure they are double-knotted or consider using a cleaner lacing pattern to increase tension.

Creasing at the toe box

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the original shape and minimize deep creasing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your adidas Continental 80 trainers, follow these maintenance practices:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe down the white exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap to prevent dirt buildup. Avoid machine washing to preserve the structural integrity of the materials.
  2. Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature yellowing or material degradation.
  3. Lacing: Ensure the white laces are properly threaded to maintain the intended fit and aesthetic.
  4. Compatibility: These trainers feature a neutral colourway that pairs effectively with denim, chinos, or shorts, making them highly compatible with most casual wardrobes.
