FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, the Continental 80 generally fits true to your standard adidas size.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash leather trainers as it can damage the material and the adhesive.
Are these suitable for wide feet?
The fit is standard, but the leather construction may stretch slightly over time to accommodate different foot shapes.
Can I use these for tennis or pickleball?
While styled like court shoes, these are designed for lifestyle wear and lack the technical support needed for competitive racquet sports.
How do I prevent the white leather from yellowing?
Keep the shoes out of direct sunlight and clean them regularly to remove debris that can trap moisture and cause discoloration.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its shine
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and luster to the material.
Creasing appears on the toe box
This is normal for leather footwear; using a shoe tree when not in use helps maintain shape and minimizes deep creases.
White material is becoming discolored
Use a dedicated sneaker cleaning solution and a soft-bristle brush to gently scrub away surface grime.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Continental 80 trainers stay in top condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt buildup.

- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the white material to yellow over time.
