Sports shoes with retro charm. The Continental 80 shoes are the faithful replica of an indoor model widespread in the 80s. This low-top version made of smooth leather features a two-tone stripe on one side and a split preformed rubber sole.

Second time attempting to post the review
My first review was rejected for no reason. So here I go again.I like the shoe. Price wasn't bad at $65. But the shoe came damaged. Soles were yellowed though not too extreme. And there was a sharp cut on the leather and glue stains at a few places.Just be aware of the fact when you buy on here you only see the product when it's delivered.

New Favorite Casual Shoe
Talk about a comfortable fit. I saw some reviews saying these were a bit narrow, but that wasn't my experience, they just seem to mold to the foot on the sides and have a wide enough tongue that I can see this was the intention. The foam rubber insoles feel like they are built to last, but are still soft enough to be comfortable. The gum rubber outsole feels weightier than your average running shoe, but not too heavy, just enough for a bit of comfortable presence. What I really like, though, is the style. It can be a little difficult to tell on the product page, but unlike a lot of similarly styled shoes, like the Nike Air Force One, these are not large and puffy shoes. They don't have tons of insulation and oversized thickness that many do, they fit like a good tennis shoe should and don't feel clumsy. They are surprisingly flexible for leather sneakers, and right out of the box they don't feel too stiff, but they will need to break in a bit. Really everything I wanted. If you want a retro sneaker and remember how they felt in the 80's/90's, you'll be in love.

Really into these!
I received these shoes a lot quicker than I expected, which was great (for context, I live in the Pacific islands and packages from Amazon can take up to three weeks to arrive). I opened up the package in my car and initially wasn't really over the moon about how they looked, but after getting home and having a closer look at the both of them, I fell in love. I bought the white, scarlet, and collegiate navy in a size 4.5 (I usually wear a 6 in Adidas women's) and though they feel just a little bit tight, I really like the way they looked on me and was glad they didn't make my feet appear too long/big like some shoes might have. I was originally going to spring for the Reebok club c 85's, but I'm pretty happy I got these instead.Side notes:At first, I was kind of paranoid that the shoes would look used after opening the outside packaging since the box was all beat up and falling apart, but aside from a few wrinkly lines at the toes (which I don't overly mind) they look great and are in near-perfect condition. As for the sizing; if you're a woman and want to get yourself some continental 80's, be sure to look up a few US size conversion charts online so you could get an accurate fit. I wear a size 6 in both Vans and Adidas and have narrow feet. The 4.5 fits just right! They might feel a little tight at first, but walk around your house in them for a few hours and the shoes will feel more comfortable. I totally recommend.

Nice looking but....
1st and foremost the shoe is nice but it's not a comfortable shoe whatsoever, then again whats comfortable for me might not be for you so with said the shoe also runs a bit bigger. I wear a size 12 in almost every sneaker but this one here my foot fits so loose and my foot actually comes out of the shoe as I walk, so I'd recommend a half size down or maybe a full size if u have a narrow foot. The outsole of the shoe is like a flat thick brick , which offers very little to no comfort at all but the upper of the shoe is really nice and I mean really nice 👌. Keep in mind you get what u pay for , simple , no tech, good looking shoe with a really bad outsole and a really nice upper. If its just a shoe u plan on using it to just go out really quick with minimal walking or just in the house which I'm doing because I am fortunate enough to own a lot of good comfortable shoes , then you should be fine . Over all I give the shoe a 2 out 5 for comfort and a 3 out of 5 for the value which comes from the upper mainly.

Awesome Shoes, Endless Compliments
Love love love these shoes! I wanted something that looked a little retro 90s and when I tell you I constantly receive compliments on these shoes I mean it! They're comfortable and they feel great to wear. I normally wear a 9.5 and I'm pretty sure I bought a size 10 and they fit great! Overall, awesome shoes!

A little big but not too big
I go between a 9.5 and a 10. Ordered a 10 and was a little nervous based on reviews that it’d be too big. It’s definitely a looser fit but it’s not at all too big. Also of note, I have a wide-ish foot.

Returning ASAP
Seller mislabeled shoe with wrong photo AND wrong male/female sizing. Almost seems intentional to get rid of a less popular color (metal silver).

Ok
Very good quality

Fake
Unfortunately I think these trainers are fake. All I had to do was lift the sole (which is made of cheap foam, plus I shouldn't be able to do that anyway) and you could see the poor stitching. Avoid.

Belle scarpe
Molto belle! Occhio al numero, le scarpe vestono leggermente più piccole rispetto alle Stan Smith.

Le cuciture all’interno fanno male sul dorso del piede
Ho comprato modello di queste scarpe per me, mia moglie e mio figlio di 4 anni.Tutti e tre, dopo averle indossate un giorno intero, abbiamo riscontrato lo stesso problema.Le cuciture all’interno della scarpa fanno male, dopo un paio d’ore sentì il desiderio di toglierle perché il fastidio sul d’orso del piede comincia a diventare persistente e a seguire incomincia a fare male!Ripeto ho comprato 3 paia di scarpe di diverse misure e tutti e tre stesso problema!Non le rendo perché oramai le abbiamo sporcate!A voi la scelta!
