FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running?

The ZX 8000 are inspired by retro running designs and feature cushioning, but they are best suited for casual wear and everyday activities rather than high-performance athletic running.

How much recycled content is in the upper?

Approximately 25% of the components used to make the upper are made with a minimum of 50% recycled content.

What is the primary benefit of the BOOST midsole?

The BOOST midsole provides exceptional energy return and responsive cushioning, offering comfort throughout the day.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method for care.

What does the Torsion bar do?

The Torsion bar provides midfoot stability, allowing the shoe to better support the foot during movement and prevent excessive twisting.

How do I find the right size?

It is recommended to check the adidas official sizing chart available on their website or product pages. Measurements of your foot length can help determine the best UK size.

Are there other colorways available?

Yes, the ZX 8000 series is available in various colorways and sizes. Please refer to the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Consult the adidas sizing chart for accurate measurements. Consider the type of socks you typically wear. If possible, try on a pair in-store or refer to customer reviews regarding fit.

Creasing on the upper

Some creasing is natural with textile uppers during wear. To minimize excessive creasing, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Shoe trees can help maintain shape when not in use.

Reduced cushioning over time

While BOOST cushioning is durable, it can slightly compress with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not used for activities beyond their intended casual wear purpose to preserve cushioning.

Traction feels slippery

Check the rubber outsole for embedded debris or excessive wear. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. If the outsole is significantly worn, replacement may be necessary.
