FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
No, the Continental 80 is designed for lifestyle and casual use, not for running or intensive sports performance.
What is the best way to clean white trainers?
Wipe with a damp cloth, use mild soap, and avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer.
Do these fit true to size?
The Continental 80 generally fits true to size, though personal preference for width may vary.
Can I use these for indoor gym workouts?
They are suitable for weightlifting and light movement but lack the advanced cushioning needed for treadmill running.
What materials are used?

Troubleshooting
Visible surface scuffs
Use a specialized sneaker eraser or a soft cloth with a mild cleaning solution specifically for leather/synthetic trainers.
Creasing at the toe box
This is natural for leather-style trainers; use a shoe tree when not wearing them to help maintain the structure.
Laces coming untied
Ensure they are double-knotted or consider replacing with slightly longer or textured laces for better grip.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are low-top trainers, they do not require a specific break-in period like stiff leather boots, but wearing them with appropriate socks is recommended for comfort. To maintain the crisp white look, avoid heavy mud or oil-based substances. For cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the exterior surfaces. Remove the laces occasionally to wash them separately, and ensure the shoes are air-dried away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown.
