FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The ZX 8000 trainers feature BOOST cushioning and a Torsion bar for support, making them comfortable for general wear and light athletic activities. However, they are not specifically designed as high-performance marathon running shoes.
What materials are the uppers made from?
The uppers are primarily made from textile materials, designed for breathability and comfort. A significant portion of these components also incorporates recycled content.
How should I determine the correct UK size?
It is recommended to consult the adidas sizing chart or try on the shoes if possible, as sizing can vary between models and brands. For these ZX 8000 trainers, the UK 6.5 is specified.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, it is strongly advised against washing these trainers in a washing machine. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the recommended method to preserve the shoe's integrity.
What does the Torsion bar do?
The Torsion bar is an insert within the sole that provides stability and support to the midfoot, allowing the forefoot and rearfoot to move independently for better adaptation to the ground.
How much recycled content is used in the upper?
At least 25% of the components used to make the upper are made with a minimum of 50% recycled content.
Troubleshooting
Unusual squeaking noise
This can sometimes occur due to friction between components. Try applying a small amount of talcum powder under the insole or ensuring laces are not overtightened.
Reduced cushioning or support over time
While BOOST technology is durable, prolonged heavy use can eventually lessen its effectiveness. Ensure proper care and avoid exposing the shoes to extreme conditions.
Stains or dirt on textile upper
Gently scrub the affected area with a soft brush, lukewarm water, and a small amount of mild detergent. Rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.
