FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Continental 80 is a lifestyle/fashion trainer and does not have the technical cushioning required for running.
How do I clean the green accents?
Gently clean the colored accents with a slightly damp cloth to avoid color bleeding onto the white sections.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Generally, yes, but leather shoes may feel slightly tighter than mesh alternatives initially. Choose your standard UK size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash leather shoes as it can damage the material, adhesives, and shape of the shoe.
Are these made of real leather?
Yes, the product is constructed with a leather upper.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
Insert shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help the leather retain its shape and reduce depth of creases.
Scuff marks on the white leather
Use a white leather sneaker eraser or a damp microfiber cloth with a small amount of non-abrasive soap to gently buff out scuffs.
Stiff leather feel
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent it from becoming brittle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Continental 80 trainers last, consider the following:
- Fit: Ensure you verify your size against the UK sizing chart. Leather shoes should feel snug but not restrictive out of the box.
- Break-in Period: You may notice the leather feels rigid initially; wear them for short durations to allow the material to conform to your feet.
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use. For tougher stains, use a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for white sneakers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the white leather from yellowing or cracking. Use shoe trees to help maintain the shape when not in use.
